Journal Entries

This article describes a preschool journal option for child psychology classes. The option requires students to spend 2 hr each week throughout the term as volunteers at a preschool. Weekly journal entries must integrate lecture and text material with practical experience. Participating students earn extra credit, commensurate with their performance, toward their final course grade. Students' evaluations indicate that the project is enjoyable as well as educational. Furthermore, local preschools are eager to participate in exchange for the volunteers.

Psychology Courses

One lesson we learned early on in child psychology courses is that learning progresses from the concrete to the semiconcrete, or representational, and finally to the abstract or symbolic level. At first glance, this seems to be not only logical but also a given fact of life. This vision of learning is a linear progression. When applied to mathematics, this learning theory leads to the assumption that the use of manipulatives and hands-on learning experiences should precede procedural symbol manipulation. It also leads to the belief that using manipulatives can ensure understanding of more abstract representations.
