The Assignment
The assignment is to complete a Power Point presentation demonstrating how the science of Psychology relates to your chosen career. This presentation will not be given in class. You will create your presentation using Power Point or similar slideshow software. This presentation must contain 3 sections: 1) Your Field, 2) Psychological Concepts, & 3) Thinking Critically.
What you will turn in
You will turn in a presentation that describes your chosen field, describes various psychological concepts, and analyzes how those concepts are involved in your field.
Sections
Title Page
Title Page must be in APA format.
Part 1- Your Field
Introduce your field. You should assume that your instructor knows nothing about your program, your chosen field, etc. Educate us on what your chosen career is! Ex. If you’re in Cosmetology, explain what that is, what a cosmetologist does, the requirements to become a cosmetologist, etc. At the end of this section, explain what your future plans are with this career field.
Requirements: Minimum 1 Reference to an accurate description of your career field; this may be your program’s page on the Lanier Tech website.
Part 2- Psychological Concepts
This presentation will require you to discuss concepts from three chapters of your choice from the following selection:
Learning
Memory
Human Development
Thinking, Language, & Intelligence
Emotion & Motivation
Personality
Social Psychology
You are to then research the psychological concepts found within your 3 chosen chapters and describe some of them in your presentation (minimum 1 concept per chapter). What do these concepts discuss? Who were the important figures related to these concepts? What are the important experiments related to these concepts? Be sure to be specific in your presentation. Ex. If discussing the Learning chapter, I might select Observational Learning as a topic; I would make sure to discuss what modeling is and Albert Bandura’s Bobo Doll Clown Study.
Requirements: Minimum 2 Academic sources; one may be your book, one must be a peer-reviewed journal article from Galileo
Part 3- Thinking Critically
Provide a critical analysis of these concepts and how they relate to your field. Cite specific activities that you might do on the job, aspects of your career, and specific pathways you will take in your career. Then discuss how the concepts discussed in part 2 relate to the aforementioned subjects. For every psychological concept discussed in part 2, there should be at least one slide discussing how it relates to your field. Your final slides should discuss what you have learned about the field of psychology as a whole and how you will use that knowledge to enhance your performance in the workplace.
