Journal Descriptions
Teaching of Psychology is a respected quarterly scholarly journal dedicated to improving the teaching and learning of psychology across diverse educational contexts. First published as a formal journal in 1974, it has become an essential resource for educators, researchers, and teacher‑scholars interested in evidence‑based practices that enhance student understanding and engagement in psychology courses. The journal publishes original empirical research, theoretical analyses, innovative teaching techniques, curriculum designs, and classroom tools that address key pedagogical issues. Articles often explore how learners engage with psychological concepts, how instructors foster critical thinking and inquiry, and how assessment practices can better measure learning outcomes. In addition to research studies, the journal includes practical teaching applications, laboratory demonstration ideas, review articles, and reflective essays by experienced teachers. As the official journal of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology (a division of the American Psychological Association), it plays a central role in advancing scholarship on pedagogy in psychology. Its interdisciplinary scope incorporates best practices from educational research, cognitive psychology, and curriculum studies to support effective teaching at high school and higher education levels. With a long history of contributing to psychology education literature, Teaching of Psychology continues to influence how psychology is taught, learned, and assessed globally.
