PBL在“实验心理学”理论课和实验课中的综合应用

The Comprehensive Application of PBL in Theoretical and Experimental Courses of "Experimental Psychology"

本文旨在探索PBL在"实验心理学"理论课和实验课中的综合应用。理论课上,将学生分成小组,给每组分别提出一个研究问题,让学生围绕问题进行讨论并制作实验报告。实验课上,让学生自己编写实验程序,自己再体验实验范式。这种结合,一方面,有助于学生理论与实践紧密联系,使得他们对理论知识的掌握更加深刻,能更灵活地将其运用于实践中;另一方面,有助于提高定学生的自主学习能力、独立思考能力、独立实施和完成实验的能力。

This article aims to discuss the comprehensive application of PBL in theoretical and experimental courses of Experimental Psychology. In the theoretical courses, we divided the students into several groups. Each group was asked to discuss and design an experiment to address a research question related to the theoretical knowledge. In the experimental courses, students were encouraged to make experimental programs by themselves and run the experiments with their own programs. Two advantages of such a combination were evident. First, it was helpful for students to connect the theories and practice tightly, which would make them understand theories more profoundly and apply theories into practice more flexibly.Second, it was helpful for students to improve their abilities of self-directed studying, independent thinking, and independently conducting experiments.
