EDP 613   SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES IN EDUCATION   (3 hours)
 
This course is designed to meet the needs of graduate students in the College of Education, particularly those in educational, school, and counseling psychology, for a course in theory and principles of social psychology. While the course will survey basic concerns in social psychology, the material will be geared toward application in schools and other educational settings. For example, while the theories of attitude formation will be surveyed, principle focus will be on the measurement of attitudes in education. Further, in the study of group dynamics, applications to group learning, administrative leadership, and organizational theory will be stressed. In addition to the theories and principles of social psychology, research paradigms, social change, social influence, system consultation, and community issues as they relate to social psychological considerations will be covered.
 
Prerequisite(s):   One course in psychology or consent of instructor
