摘要:The American Psychological Association ( APA 2002, 2007, 2013 ) recommends the inclusion of a capstone course in psychology undergraduate teaching alongside traditional lecture-based learning. This review explores what is meant by a capstone course by taking a fresh look at empirically derived pedagogic theory and how this may address some long-standing curricular needs of the psychology faculty and undergraduate students. It then explores the use of Socratic teaching methods and how this could be used as a template for teaching a capstone course within psychology.
