Psychology - Biological (71), Psychology - Cognitive (73)Building on prior work, St. Olaf College and Itasca Community College are conducting a two-year project with two main objectives. The first is to help teachers integrate a set of investigative psychophysiology lab experiences with their syllabi and introductory psychology textbooks. The second is to develop a replicable national workshop model to train community college teachers to incorporate such experiences into their courses. The initial project workshop, including 10 participant teachers, introduces faculty to scientific psychophysiological research in the community college context. Based on formative evaluation of the initial workshop results, the workshop materials are revised and forty new community college teachers, representative of colleges from five regions of the country, participate in a second two-day workshop. Using the revised activities from the first workshop, the ten participants from the first workshop act as mentor-coaches for the forty new teachers. During the second year of the project all fifty community college teachers will make use of the workshop materials in their classrooms. Data on teacher and student outcomes are collected from these classrooms, as well as from matched control classes, taught by instructors who did not participate in the workshops.In terms of broad impact, the project will develop a national workshop model for teachers to introduce psychophysiology investigative laboratory activities that should be useful not only in community colleges, but also in other higher education institutions. The workshops will assist teachers to engage their students with the scientific approach, think critically about their work, and develop competence to do scientific research. The project will lead to a new pool of researchers who will contribute to new research, and expand the research base.

心理学 - 生物学 (71)、心理学 - 认知 (73) 在先前工作的基础上，圣奥拉夫学院和艾塔斯卡社区学院正在开展一个为期两年的项目，该项目有两个主要目标。 首先是帮助教师将一套研究心理生理学实验室经验与他们的教学大纲和入门心理学教科书相结合。第二是开发一个可复制的全国研讨会模式，培训社区大学教师将这些经验融入到他们的课程中。 最初的项目研讨会有 10 名参与教师，向教师介绍社区大学背景下的科学心理生理学研究。 根据对最初研讨会结果的形成性评估，对研讨会材料进行了修订，来自全国五个地区的学院代表的 40 名新社区大学教师参加了第二次为期两天的研讨会。 利用第一次研讨会修订后的活动，第一次研讨会的 10 名参与者充当了 40 名新教师的导师。在该项目的第二年，所有 50 名社区大学教师将在课堂上使用研讨会材料。 教师和学生成果的数据是从这些教室以及由未参加讲习班的教师授课的匹配控制班中收集的。就广泛影响而言，该项目将为教师开发一个国家讲习班模型，以介绍心理生理学研究实验室活动，这不仅对社区大学有用，而且对其他高等教育机构也有用。这些研讨会将帮助教师让学生采用科学方法，批判性地思考他们的工作，并培养进行科学研究的能力。该项目将催生一批新的研究人员，他们将为新的研究做出贡献，并扩大研究基础。
