The APA Guide to College Teaching: Essential Tools and Techniques Based on Psychological Science
American Psychological Association
Research from psychological science can tell faculty a great deal about how to enhance their teaching and learning in the classroom. This report was inspired primarily by the "Top 20 Principles from Psychology for PreK-12 Teaching and Learning" report published by the Coalition for Psychology in Schools and Education in 2015. The Committee on Associate and Baccalaureate Education (CABE) Task Force began by carefully examining the 20 principles. They then determined whether each concept presented was relevant or could be relevant for college teaching. Relevant concepts were carried forward and rewritten to better reflect teaching and learning in higher education. Next, the task force identified other concepts relevant to college teaching and learning. For this report, they identified 21 concepts that were highly important for college teaching and learning. The task force then created recommendations for instructors teaching in higher education, with one concept presented in each chapter. Each chapter begins with a bulleted list of ways that instructors can use the concept to promote learning and student success in their classrooms with an explanation why the concept is important and some of the psychological science research backing it.
