Social Psychology
Two half-unit modules focus on the social psychology of education in the
Psychology in Education degree programme; one module is taken in year
2 and one in year 3.
PinE 205 Conceptualising the Social Psychology of Education
This introduces students to key theories and methods in social psychology and apply them to educational settings. For example, we include:
- Impression formation: How do we form impressions of others? How might these impressions determine how we respond to people? Do teachers expect different things from students with different appearances?
- Group Dynamics: How do groups function and how is an individual person's behaviour influenced by group membership? How can teachers use groups to enhance learning? Can group membership have an adverse impact on school progress?
PinE 301 Advanced Social Psychology of Education
This builds on your second year work to explore aspects of the self and processes of social comparison, together with the development of effective group practices in educational settings. This year 3 module aims to engage students with advanced and focussed study of social psychological issues in an education context, covering topics such as inter-group behaviour within school, school cultures, motivational processes, self-concept/self-esteem, and teacher-pupil relations.
Tutors: Dr Carolyn Jackson, Professor Colin Rogers and Angela Lovett
