IN PERSON: Has it been a while since you considered the theories of B.F. Skinner, Albert Bandura, Jerome Bruner, David Ausubel and other psychologists? Meanwhile, you’ve undoubtedly affected the lives of others. What were the psychological guidelines for your actions? Do you have strategies to share? How have you motivated yourself and others? How have your expectations enhanced or, perhaps, limited you? Do you have questions to share? We will review prominent psychological theories and discuss their impact on our lives in terms of our roles as siblings, peers, parents and/or grandparents. We will talk about the impact of poverty, racism, sexism, diversity, gender, family, social class and schooling. This course is not about molding you or “fixing” something. The instructor’s role is to encourage discussion and establish a responsive community of dialogue, illustrations and questions. Along the way, we will engage in activities and simulations. Ultimately, we will teach and learn from each other. | Lecture + Q&A, Facilitated discussion.
