There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

1.6K
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Introduction to Learning01:18

Introduction to Learning

1.6K
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
In contrast to learned behaviors, unlearned behaviors such as crying, sexual...

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

13.0K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health Education
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Traditional public health curricula may not adequately foster critical thinking and practical application skills.
  • A need exists for integrated learning experiences that bridge academic knowledge with real-world public health challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and implementation of a three-course capstone series for the Bachelor of Arts in Public Health program at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
  • To enhance student development, critical thinking, and application skills through a structured, project-based learning experience.

Main Methods:

  • The capstone series spans 1.5 academic years, involving students in developing an interdisciplinary project proposal.
  • Students execute an independent, supervised, applied learning project based on their proposals.
  • The series includes courses on project proposal development, project execution, and a capstone seminar for reflection and presentation.

Main Results:

  • Students actively engage in developing and executing applied learning projects.
  • The curriculum facilitates the integration and application of public health knowledge and skills.
  • The program provides a platform for students to apply academic learning to real-world scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • The three-course capstone series effectively promotes student development and practical skill acquisition in public health.
  • This curriculum structure enhances critical thinking and prepares graduates for real-world public health challenges.
  • The capstone series serves as a vital component in the Bachelor of Arts in Public Health degree program.
