Teaching psychology.

Abstract

This editorial introduces the special issue "Teaching Psychology," focusing on education and training, one of the fundamental aspects of our profession. Ten articles center on important issues and trends in the landscape of teaching psychology, including (a) improving work-life balance for teachers, (b) moving toward a science of teaching, (c) decolonization and social justice-related teaching pedagogies, (d) coursespecific guidance, and (e) a focus on student learning and student success. To remain as relevant to societal needs as possible, psychology will have to create the necessary bridge from theory and research to helping students prepare for careers; include new technological innovations; ground teaching in science; and transform the teaching of psychology to promote a more equitable and inclusive society.

“…In a first for a Canadian journal, we published a special issue, “Building a Cumulative Psychological Science,” in which we focused on the replication crisis in psychology and asked Canadian and global scholars to reflect on where we stand as a discipline after more than a decade of debate about the crisis and its solutions (Sharpe & Goghari, 2020). A further two special issues focused on education, training, and teaching in psychology: “Graduate Education, Research, and Professional Training in Psychology” (Goghari, 2019b) and “Teaching Psychology” (Goghari & Landrum, 2021). Finally, two additional special issues addressed large-scale global changes.…”
