psychology

I teach psychology for undergraduate college classes and this book gives great ideas to bring the subject matter alive!

Loved this book!

I use this book in my high school psychology class. Many of the experiments were originally done on college age students, but I find it highly applicable to juniors and seniors as well. I only wish I could use more of the experiments but because of lack of time I do not get to them.

Creative and Fun!

This was an excellent resource for my high school Psychology course. This book offers a variety of ideas for all of the major areas studied in an introductory psychology course. There were some great ideas/games that I used as demonstrations at the beginning of class to grab their attention. For example, we played the "hot and cold game" to demonstrate operant conditioning, as well as the "telephone" game to demonstrate aspects of memory. The students enjoyed the ideas this book had to offer, and I had fun doing it with them! The Activities Handbook for the Teaching of Psychology is an absolute NECESSITY for any teacher of psychology.

A lifesaver for first time teachers

I recently taught Introductory Psychology for the first time, and this book was a great help in designing my course. For each area of psychology, I chose activities from this book to illustrate key concepts. Every activity that I tried went over well with my students.

A Must For Anyone Who Teaches Intro Psychology

Dr. Benjamin has compiled the book every teacher of introductory psychology needs. Full of activities designed to spark interest and understanding of basic psychological concepts. High school students will appreciate the psychology more when they can actively participate. The book will show students psychology as science, not hocus-pocus.
