History and Systems of Psychology: A Course to Unite a Core Curriculum
Williams, Joshua L.; McCarley, Nancy; Kraft, John
College Quarterly, v16 n2 Spr 2013
Core curricula are designed, in part, to help undergraduate students become intellectually well-rounded. To merge core curricula with the components of the scholarship of teaching and learning movement, students engaged in core curricula need capstone courses designed to aid them in retaining information over the long term and synthesizing information from the various core areas. We used an existing core curriculum to delineate the congruency of core subject areas with topics covered in a history and systems of psychology course, which may be used as a capstone course for students across disciplines to unite the areas of a core curriculum.
