Description:

PSY 294 is a required 45-clock hour practicum, to be taken concurrently with the corresponding section of PSY 256-Educational Psychology. The practicum experience increases educational psychology students' understanding and application of the educational psychology courses' theory into practice. Course assignments for students enrolled in PSY 294 will be coordinated between the PSY 256 instructor at HFCC and the HFCC student's assigned school practicum. Scheduling of the 45- clock hours will be coordinated between the HFCC student and the coordinating teacher at the practicum placement, according to the student's hours available. Course topics include theories of learning and cognition, how development proceeds, and the implications for instruction of a diverse population as well as how to deal with those implications effectively. Managing classroom discipline, motivating students to learn, leading classroom instruction, and assessing K-12 students' learning are applied to the classroom setting through a variety of projects. Students seeking elementary certification are placed in a classroom in Grade 1-6. Students seeking secondary certification are placed in a Grade 7-12 classroom. Students seeking CDA credentials are placed in a preschool setting. This course is not to be taken concurrently with PSY 152. The observation hours in PSY 152 do not count for pre-student teaching hours in PSY 294. See PSY 256 for more information. Prerequisites: ENG 131, ENG 132, and PSY 131 Co-requisite: PSY 256
