Following Teaching of Psychology Into Middle Age

Abstract

Honoring Teaching of Psychology (ToP) as it approaches its 40th anniversary, we extend prior overviews of its development and growth into 2012. We describe changes in editorial staff and journal organization, identify and describe the top 20 most frequent contributors to ToP, and present the results of a content analysis of issues published from 1999 through mid-2012 to complement past content analyses. We conclude that as ToP enters middle age, it has professionally matured throughout adulthood to have a fruitful life as a topical journal and has outgrown its earlier newsletter trappings with essentially all of its journal space now devoted to articles on teaching for teachers.

Goozee et al (2016) used the C4.5 algorithm to generate decision trees and used a new pruning algorithm to improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the derived rules.…”

Where Is Psychology Teaching and Learning Research Conducted? An Analysis of Institution Setting and Class Sizes

“…Several journals are now devoted to the dissemination of SoTL research in different disciplines, including several specific to teaching and learning in psychology. Previous reviews of psychology SoTL journals have examined patterns of journal contributions over the years, summarizing, for example, the most frequent contributing authors to a given journal, the distribution of articles across different content areas or class foci, and the diversity of student gender and racial/ethnical representation in reported samples (Griggs & Collisson, 2013;Griggs, Jackson, Christopher, & Marek, 1999;Richmond, Broussard, Sterns, Sanders, & Shardy, 2015). Here, we aim to add to the discussion of SoTL research by taking a census of the type of institutions and classroom sizes where published SoTL research in psychology is carried out.…”

Examining the trends of play therapy articles: A 10-year content analysis.

“…One way to examine publication trends in a field is to use content analysis (Barrio Minton, Wachter Morris, & Yaites, 2014). Content analysis has been used by numerous researchers in examining trends related to their specific disciplines and as a means to advance future scholarly work (e.g., Barrio Minton et al, 2014; Griggs & Collisson, 2013; Hargons, Mosley, & Stevens-Watkins, 2017; Wike, Bledsoe, Bellamy, & Grady, 2013).…”
