In an increasingly interconnected world, teaching psychology with cultural sensitivity and global awareness is crucial for developing sophisticated scientific thinking among students. This presentation demonstrates innovative approaches to integrating AI technology in cross-cultural psychology education, addressing ESPLAT's emphasis on international perspectives and critical thinking in...
This study examines how perceived teaching quality influences engagement and learning outcomes in a brief online psychology course. While teaching quality can support learning outcomes, its specific role in self-paced online learning — particularly in facilitating the translation of extrinsic motivation into engagement — remains unclear.
The preregistered study builds on Self-Determination...
Knowing how to learn effectively is a crucial factor for academic success. However, the widespread prevalence of myths about teaching and learning affects learners' decisions about how they study. Moreover, learners often struggle to distinguish myths from facts. One method that has been shown to enhance learning is the retrieval of previously studied information. In the present study, we...
Dyslexia is the leading neurodiversity, affecting 5-10% of the UK population (Knight, 2018; Clouder et al., 2020), and being the most prevalent neurodiversity within Higher Education (HE) (Stampoltzis et al., 2015). Despite mostly positive lecturer attitudes for dyslexia in HE (Černickaja & Sokolová, 2024), many staff believe training and resources available to them for supporting dyslexic...
Ideally, student theses are not only written in order to gain academic degrees, but also to provide (modest) contributions to scientific and social issues. In times of abundant information – and misinformation – in digital and social media one such contribution is to effectively communicate evidence-based scientific results to the public. The project KLARPsy, initiated by the Leibniz Institute...
Introduction: In addition to supporting critical thinking within a lecture unit, activating relevant concepts and motivation in students can already begin before the lecture starts. Automated pre-tests in form of quizzes can be administered flexibly and efficiently. This field study explores whether pre-testing can support learning from lecture videos in a BSc. psychology...
