由于后勤方面的限制，参加以讲座为基础的大型心理学入门课程的学生通常无法享受体验式学习 (EL) 的机会。为了克服这个障碍，我们开发了一个 EL 项目，其中心理学入门学生以小组形式向当地小学课堂展示课程材料的某些方面。该项目要求本科生表现出对演示材料的深刻理解。这种深度的理解使他们能够以适合年龄的方式灵活地向幼儿园到五年级的学生传达材料。本科生、小学生和教师的反馈结果表明，该项目以积极且愉快的方式支持本科生的学习成果，这对两个学生群体来说都是如此。
Students in large, lecture-based introductory psychology classes often do not have the benefit of experiential learning (EL) opportunities due to logistical constraints. To overcome this obstacle, we developed an EL project in which introductory psychology students in small groups present some aspect of the course material to local elementary school classes. The project challenges undergraduate students to demonstrate a deep level of understanding of the presentation material. Such depth of understanding enables them to flexibly communicate material in an age-appropriate manner to kindergarten through 5th-grade students. Feedback results from undergraduate students, elementary school students, and teachers demonstrated that this project supported learning outcomes in undergraduates in a positive and enjoyable way for both student groups.
