As part of the first ever Psychology lessons at CLC, students were tasked with researching a famous psychologist and making a poster to summarise the contributions of their psychologist to the field. The students fed back to their classes and this led into a discussion of the history and origins of subject. The group photo shows our first A Level cohort with their famous psychologist posters, lined up to represent the historical timeline of psychology.
Our first IB psychologists at CLC have been learning about research methods. In order to make sampling techniques more fun, and to illustrate how random sampling rarely produces a representative sample, students carried out an activity with bags of M&Ms. They had to draw different types of samples from the target population of their bag of M&Ms and judge whether every colour was represented fairly in their sample. This was a fun way to make the topic more real and generated some interesting conversations about proportionality and representativeness of samples to target populations in psychology.
