Discussion Sessions in a Computer
Based Psychology Course
By Cathrine Wambach and Thomas Brothen, University of Minnesota
Abstract
Opportunities for face-to-face discussion were offered to students
in an introductory psychology course taught using a PSI, mastery model
with computer-based activities. While many students expressed interest
in the discussion activities, few actually attended when the opportunities
were made available. Compared to non-participants, students who participated
in the discussions described themselves as more concerned about grades.
There were no differences between participants and non-participants
on course outcomes.
