Teaching psychology: a vade mecum

This paper provides a review of research on learning and teaching in higher education. It suggests that a useful framework for considering teaching might be based on the notions of methods, structures, skills and styles. It outlines the major findings of research on learning, lecturing, small group teaching, practical work and projects and it touches upon the research on assessment of student learning. It offers some suggestions and guidelines for enhancing teaching and it provides a personal perspective that might encourage some readers to reflect upon the purposes and nature of teaching and learning in undergraduate psychology.
