Psychology (From the -Ologies Series)

From the -Ologies Series

Psychology is the scientific study of mental processes and behavior. It is the objective of this book to introduce students to this fascinating subject and the sub-fields into which it is divided. It has matured through the centuries from its beginnings in supernatural beliefs, magic and taboo to its development as a scientific discipline.

Students gain insight into the varied fields of psychology. They come to see how all of the branches help humans in their attempt to “know ourselves.”

The self-directed activities emphasize higher-level thinking skills and the activities have been keyed to Bloom’s taxonomy for your convenience. Although not so marked, other higher-level skills, such as fluency, originality, and risk-taking, are also encouraged.

You and your students will enjoy learning about the most fascinating animal of all—the human species! Students learn about heredity and environment, problem solving, intelligence, perception, conflict psychotherapies, social behavior, and more. Mind-stimulating activities encourage critical and creative thinking and are based upon Bloom’s taxonomy.

The teacher section provides tests, quizzes, a crossword puzzle, lots of helpful background information, and more! Grades 5–12.

NOTE: This book and the other books in the-Ologies Series have been used successfully in classes for the gifted and talented.
