Title: Psychology: Encouraging Students to Identify With Course Material Through Self-Discovery Exercises
Description: Psychology, as a science and as a high school course, is a journey of discovery undertaken by both researchers and students. By regularly encouraging students to consider how psychological knowledge relates to their own lives, you place their learning experience within a personally relevant context that enhances learning of course material, while also fostering self-insights that can be applied to their daily living.
