  1. Active Learning! By Gemma Stephens, Helen Wilson and JeshHammerton.

  2. Warm up... Lift your right foot off the floor and move it in clockwise motions Now, lift your right arm and draw a number ‘6’ in the air at the same time You cannot do two things at the same time in which case you need to pay attention!!

  3. Relay... • Each group to have a set of large cards. • The cards must be stuck onto the wall in the correct order. • Only one student to leave the group and stick the card up at any time. • A different student must stick the card up each time. Can be used for plenary, revision, HPA and SAM bodily responses to stress, statistics , aims, procedures, findings, conclusions and criticisms and lots more!

  4. Dominoes – Get your students evaluating... • Just like the traditional dominoes where students must match them up but with blank spaces • Every time a student reaches a blank space they are to stick a post it note on it and write an evaluative point • You could specify general, methodological or ethical issues for evaluation or you could say it needs one of each etc • Germans are not different • Participants electrocuted confederate learners when questions where incorrectly answered • 65% delivered 450v shocks

  5. Human Bingo... • Each students is given a bingo card (all cards have the same 8 questions on) • Students have to walk around the classroom and ask each other the questions on the bingo card • If another student can correctly answer the question their name is written under that question on the bingo card • Repeat the process until 8 different names are written under the 8 different questions • The first student to complete the card shouts ‘bingo’ and brings their card to the teacher. • Teacher to check each of the 8 different people on the bingo card can answer the questions correctly To get your students moving around the classroom, questioning and assessing each others’ knowledge!

  6. Sigmund __________? Jane What are the three levels of consciousness Name a psychological defence mechanism What did Freud say the horse in Little Hans’ dream represented? The id, ego and ____________? Which is the first psychosexual stage? Tim In which psychosexual stage does the Oedipus complex take place? Name the female version of the Oedipus complex Human Bingo Example….

  7. Reliability and validity via an intelligence test... • Measure around your head in cm (from the tops of your ears) and record your results. • Do this 3 times – you may need a friend to help you. • 58cm or above – very intelligent • 57cm or below – quite intelligent • 51cm or below – not very intelligent • Is this intelligence reliable? (Yes because we are consistently getting the same results: well you should be!) • Is this intelligence test valid? (No because it doesn’t tell us anything about our intelligence, even if you did score 58cm or above!) • Students must apply their knowledge to a study... Draw a continuum on the board (for example Milgram’s study... Label one end of the continuum low external validity and the other end high external validity). Students to write their name on a post it note and stick it to the continuum. You can then use student’s names to find out why they put it there.

  8. Speed dating... • Each student is to have a new key term (or piece of info etc) • They must become an expert in their key term • Chairs can be arranged in two circles so all chairs are facing each other or they could be in two lines, again facing each other • Each student facing each other swap key terms and ensure that each other understands it • One side remain where they are, students on the other side move clockwise one seat and repeat the process of sharing their information • When everybody has swapped information, knowledge can be tested in a variety of ways... • - select a student and ask a question • - write down everything you can remember and then ask questions • - students could peer assess each other and give extra info that must be included

  9. Pass the parcel... • Again this can be adapted in various ways. For our workshop... • Parcel is passed around to music • When music stops, students opens parcel • In one layer there will be 2 questions and 2 sweets • Pass each question onto each student on either side • student to read out question and give answer • If they get the question correct they win the sweet, if the answer is wrong the sweet is given back to the student who opened the parcel • The correct answer could be gained in various different ways to ensure students understand!!

  10. The tree of knowledge... • Plenary ideas! • Each student has to write one thing they have learnt on a leaf and stick it on the tree • Traffic light tree – red, orange and green leaves – to test which areas students understand and which areas they may be struggling with and need to recap • End of topic tree – students work in groups and have 2 minutes to write down as many facts as they can remember from the topic on their leaves and stick them on the tree • Key study tree – Different branches of the tree can be used for aims, procedures, findings, conclusions and evaluation The tree of knowledge can be adapted in many different ways!
