Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our district-wide course catalog. We are submitting a New Social Science Elective Course titled General Psychology. This course does meet the UC/CSU A-G requirement "G" Elective.
The design of the General Psychology course introduces students to the systematic and scientific study of human being behavior and mental processes. This General Psychology course offers an introduction to the various fields of psychology through the study of the principles involved in learning, intelligence, personality, mental health, growth and development, emotion, motivations, perceptions, biological responses, and social psychology.
The purpose of this General Psychology course is to introduce students to the study of the behavior and mental processes of the human brain. General Psychology will allow students who may not be up to the rigorous challenge of AP or Dual Psychology courses to still learn about psychology and earn elective (G) credits for college. Students gain an opportunity to have another year-long (G) elective course, and this course will expand students' knowledge concerning mental processes and mental health, which is a massive topic of conversation in today's society. The expectation is for students to demonstrate their proficiency in psychological theory and concepts by taking semester and year-end summative assessments.
The Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services has approved the above course.
