Teaching Culture and Psychology

Pedagogical Strategies, Instructor Resources, and Student Activities

Beschreibung

The fourth edition of Teaching Culture and Psychology (previously Cross-Cultural Explorations) provides an array of carefully designed instructor resources and student activities that support the construction and implementation of courses on culture and psychology.

Revised and expanded from previous editions, the book enables instructors to use selected activities appropriate for their course structure. Part One explores a variety of pedagogical challenges involved in teaching about culture and psychology and details specific strategies for addressing these challenges. Part Two (instructor resources) and Part Three (student handouts) center around 90 activities designed to encourage students to think critically about the role of culture in a wide range of psychology content areas. These activities are based on current and classic cross-cultural research and take the form of case studies, self-administered scales, mini-experiments, database search assignments, and the collection of content-analytic, observational, and interview data. For each activity, instructors are provided with a lecture/discussion module as well as suggestions for variations and expanded writing assignments. Student handouts are available in this text as well as on the Routledge website as fillable forms.

Contributing to the inclusion of cultural perspectives in the psychology curriculum, this wide-ranging book enables instructors to provide students with hands-on experiences that facilitate the understanding and application of major concepts and principles in the study of culture and psychology, making it ideal for cultural psychology, anthropology, sociology, and related courses.

Rezensionen

Susan Goldstein's Teaching Culture and Psychology: Pedagogical Strategies, Instructor Resources, and Student Activities is the fourth edition of her popular activities book. In this expanded version, she has added an excellent section for instructors, providing important pedagogical context for the ninety student activities. Those activities include clear prompts and instructions, as well as references that document the research underlying each student experience. The book will be useful not only for courses devoted to culture and psychology, but also for such classes as introductory psychology in the hands of instructors who wish to integrate cultural content across the curriculum. For instructors who strive to bring together cultural concepts with excellence in teaching, this book will be a useful, valuable new resource.
