PSYC775 Teaching Philosophy Assignment

By AssignmentHelp Blog

PSYC775 Teaching Philosophy Assignment

Overview

The purpose of the Teaching Philosophy Assignment is to generate an initial Teaching Philosophy statement. As described in your textbook, a teaching philosophy is a “description of how you see yourself as a teacher, and especially what you do and do not value in the teaching domain” (Bernstein et al., 2020, p.227). Although teaching philosophies are working documents that will change over time, it can be helpful to consider your personal philosophy of teaching before creating or planning a particular course.

Instructions

You will be writing a teaching philosophy statement focusing on the level of higher education/college teaching. Because many of you may not have prior teaching experience, your philosophy statement does not need to include details related to past teaching methods or experiences, but rather a discussion of what you value educationally and the methods you would use if you were an instructor in the future. Teaching philosophies are personal and subjective. Therefore, the specific content of your statements will vary depending on your individual experiences and values. To help you formulate your teaching philosophy, below is a list of some general questions you may wish to consider when you are composing your statement:

PSYC775 Teaching Philosophy Assignment

What are your motivations for teaching?
Why do you believe teaching is important?
What are some of the positive qualities, teaching methods, or relational skills you have seen in prior teachers you have had?
What teaching methods do you believe are the most effective and valuable?
In your opinion, what are some effective ways to assess student learning?
What are some ways you would choose to evaluate your own teaching performance?
What are your future teaching goals?
How do you hope your future students would describe you as a teacher?
What specific skills would you hope your students would gain from your class?
What is your vision of an ideal classroom climate?

PSYC775 Teaching Philosophy Assignment

Keep in mind these questions are provided as a guide and you do not need to answer them all in your assignment. If you need further ideas or help with your statement, please see the additional guides/websites for constructing a teaching philosophy statement, which can be found on the Teaching Philosophy Assignment page under Teaching Philosophy Resources. Because these statements are so personal, there is no one “right” way to construct a philosophy statement. Your focus should be on thinking through your educational beliefs and experiences and trying to get these thoughts and ideas on paper in a cohesive and organized way.

Assignment requirements include:

Your statement must be 1–2 pages (double-spaced). Brevity is important in a teaching statement. An APA-style title page is required and is not included in this length requirement. You do not need to include an abstract.
Your statement must include a specific discussion of your personal beliefs about teaching. It should not simply be a general literature review on teaching practices. It also should not simply be a list of prior teaching experience (e.g., a resume or CV).
Your statement is not required to contain citations, but if it does, you must include an APA style reference page for any sources used.
First person is allowed for this assignment.
Your paper must be submitted as a Word document.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

PSYC775 Syllabus Draft Assignment

By AssignmentHelp Blog

PSYC775 Syllabus Draft Assignment

Overview

In this module you will begin thinking about a hypothetical course you would like to teach in the future. For the Syllabus: Draft Assignment, you will create a draft version of a syllabus for a specific hypothetical course. Before beginning your syllabus draft, you will need to choose a textbook for an undergraduate psychology course and you will use that textbook for this assignment and throughout the rest of the term for future assignments.

Instructions

Once you choose your textbook and create the syllabus, you will not be able to change your chosen book/hypothetical course for the remainder of the term, so try to pick a subject within the field of psychology that interests you. If you have access to an undergraduate psychology textbook, you are free to use it for this assignment/term. If you do not have access to an undergraduate psychology textbook that you want to use, a list of approved open-access textbooks can be found on the Syllabus: Draft Assignment page under Syllabus: Draft Resources. These books are free to access in full online. If you are not using one of your own previous textbooks, you must choose one from this approved list. Keep in mind that you will not need to read this textbook in full, but rather use it as a guide for assignments throughout this term.

PSYC775 Syllabus Draft Assignment

After choosing your textbook and course subject area, you will begin to draft a mock syllabus for your hypothetical course. Your syllabus should be for a residential course, although you may incorporate some online components if desired. Your syllabus draft must contain the following sections/pieces of information:

Course Information – Course number and title of your course
Class Information – Days, time, and location of class meetings
Instructor Information
- Your name, office location, and preferred contact information
- Your schedule of office hours
Course Description – Provide a brief paragraph that gives a general overview of the course subject or main topics.
Course Objectives/Learning Goals – Provide a list of 3–5 learning goals for your course. Be sure to start each objective with a learning verb, such as those described in Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Required Materials – List any required materials for your course. This section must at least include an APA-style reference for your textbook choice. Any other materials you list must also be in APA style.
Course Schedule – Provide a typical 16-week semester schedule for your course. For this syllabus draft, your schedule must include the week number (e.g., Week 1, Week 2, and on through Week 16) along with the topics/chapter readings covered for that week. You do not need to include any assignment information at this time (you will submit this later in the term).
Grading Scale – Provide a grading scale that indicates what point ranges will correspond to which letter grades.

PSYC775 Syllabus Draft Assignment

Classroom Policies – Briefly outline policies covering each of these areas:
- Attendance
- Late work
- Classroom behavior/expectations (include details like cell phone use, talking, eating, respect for others, etc.)
- Academic honesty (include possible repercussions for violations)
- Accommodations policy (include a statement regarding access to accommodations for those with disabilities)

Feel free to include any other classroom policies desired

You may format your syllabus in any way you choose, as long as it contains all the necessary information. For information that is hypothetical (e.g., course number, location of class/office), you may provide mock information for the sake of creating a complete syllabus. You are also welcome to include any additional information desired in your syllabus beyond the required elements. If you are using another syllabus as a guide, do not simply copy and paste policies, descriptions, goals, etc. You should demonstrate that you can create and articulate these elements in your own words. As stated above, this syllabus draft does not need to include any information regarding what assignments will be given to students and when they will be assigned. This will be completed later in the term. APA.
