It is the study of human behaviour and the mind. It provides a foundation for students wanting to satisfy a growing curiosity about themselves, their families, their friends and the world around them. Learning outcomes for this course are grouped under the curriculum domains: Psychology and its Methods Domain Developmental Domain Biopsychological Domain Cognitive Domain Sociocultural Domain Students will be encouraged to think critically and analytically about behaviour and understand commonly held myths. They will bring the basic and applied concepts of psychology to life by applying scientific principles to real world problems. Rationale: Psychology 11 is intended to help adolescent learners to understand themselves and others. Psychology students learn to describe, predict, understand, and influence behaviour and mental processes. Students enrolled in this course learn more systematic strategies for reading, studying, remembering information and test taking; as a result, enrollment in this course may enhance students performance in other BAA Psychology 11 1
2 academic studies and prepare them for post secondary studies. This course is based on the content of the American Psychological Association s National High School Psychology Standards, as many students in this course will go on to write the Advanced Placement Psychology exam.
