Psychology graduates are employed in a wide variety of workplace roles. The broad nature of these future workplace requirements can make it difficult for students to learn and apply classroom knowledge and challenging for educators to develop authentic and engaging materials. In research methods and statistics courses in particular it can be difficult to develop specific context exemplars. This article describes the design of a series of case studies and linked learning activities based on the experiences of psychology graduates in their real-world employment roles. These case studies were embedded in an undergraduate research methods and statistics course with the aim of improving engagement by more clearly articulating the link between classroom learning and future workplace roles. Student feedback suggests that the case studies were motivating and supportive of student learning; however, there was no evidence of an improvement in performance. This approach provides a rewarding, flexible template within which students and educators are able to explicitly discuss the relationship between current learning and future real-world roles.

在本科研究方法和统计课程中使用多样化的案例研究

心理学毕业生受雇于各种各样的工作岗位。这些未来工作场所要求的广泛性质可能使学生难以学习和应用课堂知识,也使教育工作者难以开发真实且引人入胜的材料。特别是在研究方法和统计课程中,可能很难开发特定的背景示例。本文描述了一系列案例研究和相关学习活动的设计,这些活动基于心理学毕业生在实际就业角色中的经验。这些案例研究被嵌入到本科研究方法和统计课程中,目的是通过更清楚地阐明课堂学习与未来工作场所角色之间的联系来提高参与度。学生的反馈表明,案例研究对学生的学习起到了激励和支持作用;然而,没有证据表明业绩有所改善。这种方法提供了一个有益的、灵活的模板,学生和教育工作者能够在其中明确讨论当前学习与未来现实世界角色之间的关系。
