Teaching the Introductory Course in psychology circa 1900.
The American psychologist, 2000Co-Authors: Alfred H. FuchsAbstract:Teachers of Introductory Courses in psychology and those who wrote the textbooks for the Courses at the start of the 20th century represented the new psychology that replaced the old psychology of mental philosophy. Teachers and texts presented psychology as a natural science of the mind and mental processes, described its methods, and suggested its potential applications to practical concerns. Textbooks and teachers varied in their approaches to psychology, their priorities among its methods, and their emphases on applying psychology. The Introductory Course in psychology accurately reflected the state of the discipline at the turn of the century.

Content analysis of the Introductory Course in sport management.
Journal of Sport Management, 1996Co-Authors: Doyice CottonAbstract:An Introductory Course in sport management should provide the student in the program with a basic understanding of the sport industry. However, the opinions of sport management educators vary as to what should be included in the Introductory Course. This diversity of opinions regarding Course content is reflected in the texts that have been written for use in the Introductory Course. Each book has its own unique objective and range of topics (Chella-durai, 1985; Lewis & Appenzeller, 1987; Parkhouse, 1992; Parks & Zanger, 1991).

exploring factors that influence computer science Introductory Course students to persist in the major
Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2009Co-Authors: Lecia Barker, Charlie Mcdowell, Kimberly KalaharAbstract:This paper describes an exploratory study to identify which environmental and student factors best predict intention to persist in the computer science major. The findings can be used to make decisions about initiatives for increasing retention. Eight indices of student characteristics and perceptions were developed using the research-based Student Experience of the Major Survey: student-student interaction; student-faculty interaction; collaborative learning opportunities; pace/workload/prior experience with programming; teaching assistants; classroom climate/pedagogy; meaningful assignments; and racism/sexism. A linear regression revealed that student-student interaction was the most powerful predictor of students' intention to persist in the major beyond the Introductory Course. Other factors predicting intention to persist were pace/workload/prior experience and male gender. The findings suggest that computer science departments interested in increasing retention of students set structured expectations for student-student interaction in ways that integrate peer involvement as a mainstream activity rather than making it optional or extracurricular. They also suggest departments find ways to manage programming experience gaps in CS1.

strengthening Introductory psychology a new model for teaching the Introductory Course
American Psychologist, 2016Co-Authors: Regan A R Gurung, Jana Hackathorn, Carolyn Zerbe Enns, Susan Frantz, John T Cacioppo, Trudy Loop, James E FreemanAbstract:Introductory psychology (Intro Psych) is one of the most popular and frequently taught Courses on college campuses, yet educators in psychology have limited knowledge about what is covered in classes around the nation or the extent to which class content reflects the current scope of the discipline. There is no explicit model to guide Course content selection for the intro Course, which poses substantial challenges for instructors. This article proposes a new model for teaching the intro Course that integrates (a) scientific foundations, (b) 5 major domains or pillars of knowledge (biological, cognitive, developmental, social and personality, and mental and physical health), and (c) cross-cutting themes relevant to all domains (cultural and social diversity, ethics, variations in human functioning, and applications; American Psychological Association, 2014). We advocate for national assessment of the Course, a similar Introductory Course for majors and nonmajors, the inclusion of experiential or laboratory components, and additional training resources for instructors of the intro Course. Given the exponential growth of psychological knowledge and applications during the past decades, we caution against attempting to provide exhaustive coverage of all topic areas of psychology in a one-semester Course. We conclude by discussing the challenges that lie ahead for the discipline of psychology as it launches this new model for Intro Psych.
