Psychological Science: The Curious Mind, by award-winning authors and
professors Catherine A. Sanderson and Karen Huffman, introduces
21st-century, digital-native students to the fascinating field of
psychology. This new program emphasizes the importance of developing
scientific literacy and an understanding of research and research
methods. The program uses an inviting why-focused framework that taps
into students' natural curiosity, incorporating active learning and
real-life application to engage students.
Psychological Science: The Curious Mind embraces the guidelines
released by the American Psychological Association (APA)'s Introductory
Psychology Initiative (IPI) in 2021. It provides an excellent framework
for instructors who want to implement those guidelines in their
Introductory Psychology courses, and it provides students with the
content and motivation to achieve the course's ultimate outcome: an
enduring, foundational understanding of psychological science.
