  1. Teaching RM in Psychology • Dr Matthew Coxon

  2. Aims of this workshop • To reflect on and discuss the challenges and issues we all have when teaching RM in Psychology; • To share tips, approaches and solutions to ensure the best learning experience for the students (and maybe resolve some of those issues!).

  3. Postgraduates who Teach? • You have little control over what is taught; • You spend most time in statistics workshops; • And some time helping students design studies/collect data?

  4. Six quick tips anyone can use • Watch your (body) language – remember that students don’t know what you know, so don’t knock their confidence; • Use careful questioning/guidance – reinforce student confidence, help them learn.

  5. Six quick tips anyone can use • Be prepared - identify alternative resources to recommend (and recommend them!); • Talk to the students – don’t ignore those who don’t ask for help just because it is easier.

  6. Six quick tips anyone can use • If possible, offer timetabled additional support (saving ad-hoc support for the most extreme cases); • Talk to your teaching team about solutions, as well as the problems!

  7. Some useful resources (all free!) • Jackson, S. L., & Griggs, R. A. (2012). Teaching statistics and research methods: Tips from ToP. http://teachpsych.org/ebooks/stats2012/index.php • HEA collection of mini-projects related to both RM and Statistics: http://tinyurl.com/pfxkkgx • Association for Psychological Sciences collection of resources: http://psych.hanover.edu/APS/teaching.html#statistics • Online resources from Andy Field: http://www.statisticshell.com/

  8. In summary • The challenges and issues with RM teaching are common and shared; • Everyone has different approaches to meeting these challenges, but make sure you keep the student at the centre of them (what is good for you may not be good for them!)
