According to the examination plan for psychology major of Beijing higher education self-taught examination implemented on 200 1, in addition to three political courses and public compulsory courses such as College Chinese (major) and Computer Application Foundation, psychology major also has 1 1 professional courses, namely General Psychology and Social Psychology (II). After passing the exam of Experimental Psychology, you should also take part in the practice of Psychological Experiment. "General Psychology" summarizes the results of psychological research, introduces the most common psychological phenomena and the most general laws of psychological activities, and is the basic theoretical course for psychology majors and the basis for learning other psychology courses. "Social Psychology II" is a branch of psychology that studies the social psychology and social behavior of individuals and groups and its laws. Experimental Psychology introduces the experimental methods and basic research results of studying psychological phenomena. Through the study of Experimental Psychology, self-taught students can initially understand the basic knowledge and skills of designing experimental methods for research topics; Psychological statistics introduces the statistical processing methods of psychological experiment results; Psychometrics introduces the scientific procedure of making psychometric scale and the commonly used scales of intelligence, special ability and personality. "Developmental Psychology" talks about the psychological development process from infants to adults and even life, focusing on the development law of children's psychology; Applied Psychology generally explains the various application fields of psychology and its basic content. Educational Psychology explains the learning activities of students in the process of school education, as well as related psychological phenomena and laws. Medical psychology studies the relationship between psychological factors and human health and diseases, that is, the role of psychological factors in the occurrence and prevention of diseases. In the process of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, to serve human health; "Mental Health and Psychological Counseling" introduces the knowledge and methods of maintaining mental health and the basic knowledge about psychological counseling. "Organizational management psychology" studies the process of managing an organization, including planning, guiding, encouraging and controlling the organization, that is, providing correct management principles and effective management methods for the organization.
We must learn the basic theoretical courses of psychology well, because they are the basis for further study. Especially "General Psychology" is the foundation of the foundation. To learn it well, you must learn it first. After learning General Psychology, take other courses, step by step, and constantly improve. Social Psychology (II) is easy to understand, and it also lets us know the side of psychological phenomenon that is restricted by society, so we can learn it first. "Experimental Psychology" and "Psychological Measurement" need more knowledge as the basis and should be studied in the later stage. "Psychostatistics" should be studied before these two courses, because the statistical processing method of experimental results it talks about should be applied in these two courses. Without statistical knowledge, "experimental psychology" and "psychometrics" are difficult to understand. As for other specialized courses of psychology, whether it is basic theory or applied psychology, there is no strict relationship in content and there is not much difference in difficulty. When arranging the study, it is enough to match the difficult basic theory courses with the difficulty, so that the burden will be even in each exam.
Adult on-the-job study is more difficult than full-time students. Work and housework are easily distracted, and study time is difficult to guarantee. If you want to study well, you must have stronger determination and stronger will. Learning arrangements should be reasonable and learning methods should be improved. Higher education pays more attention to understanding than rote learning on the basis of understanding, which is impossible. Reciting is for accurate understanding and skillful use, not rote learning.
2. Undergraduate courses and learning methods
The courses offered by psychology undergraduates are closely linked with those offered by junior colleges, and they are constantly deepening. In addition to two political courses and foreign language courses, there are also 12 specialized courses, that is, basic theoretical courses include Physiological Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Psychological Experiment Design and psychohistory; Applied psychology courses include abnormal psychology and psychotherapy in clinical psychology, human resource management, personnel measurement, market research, consumer and advertising psychology in social psychology, engineering psychology and environmental psychology. As far as the field of applied psychology is concerned, the undergraduate stage still focuses on three aspects, namely education, medical care and management. Although there are no special courses in school education, management and mental health knowledge are also compulsory courses for those engaged in education. To learn this knowledge well, it must be based on the study in junior college, especially general psychology, social psychology, experimental psychology, psychological measurement and psychological statistics. Without these courses as the foundation, it is difficult for people to accept such courses as "Physiological Psychology", "Cognitive Psychology", "Psychological Experiment Design" and "psychohistory". Therefore, it must be emphasized that we should learn professional basic theory courses well in the junior college stage.
As far as the undergraduate course content is concerned, "physiological psychology" tells the structure and function of the nervous system, so that self-taught students can understand the physiological basis of psychological activities; "History of Psychology" introduces the general situation of the emergence and development of psychological thoughts, as well as the basic viewpoints of various psychological factions since modern times, helping self-taught students to establish correct psychological theoretical viewpoints; "Psychological experiment design" focuses on cultivating students' ability to solve practical problems by scientific methods; Cognitive psychology is a new direction of psychological research in the past half century. It systematically discusses the cognitive process of human beings and combines psychology with modern science and technology, which has become an important part of current cognitive science. Learning Cognitive Psychology is very helpful for self-taught students to understand the new progress of psychology and learn and master the scientific methods of studying psychological phenomena. "Abnormal psychology" studies the causes and laws of the occurrence, development and change of abnormal psychological phenomena and behavior activities, and provides scientific basis for correctly understanding normal psychological activities. Abnormal Psychology is an essential knowledge base for psychological counseling and psychotherapy, effective treatment and prevention of psychological abnormalities. Psychotherapy introduces the principles and methods of counseling and treatment of psychological disorders, which has strong maneuverability and is the basic knowledge and skills that people engaged in psychological counseling and psychotherapy must master.
In the fierce market competition, if an organization wants to win, it must first obtain high-quality and first-class talents. Therefore, it is necessary for managers to identify talents objectively, reliably and effectively and mobilize employees to achieve organizational goals. "Human resource management" and "personnel measurement" provide scientific principles and methods for managers. 3 "Market research" provides a method for enterprises and institutions to collect information and analyze the market. The course "Market Research" introduces the theory, design method and practical application steps of market research, which has strong operability and practical significance. Consumer and Advertising Psychology introduces the psychological and social factors that affect consumer behavior, discusses people's consumption behavior from theory and practice, and introduces the application of consumer psychology theory in practice, including advertising. Packaging design, brand creation, enterprise identification system design, marketing and other fields; "Engineering Psychology" is based on the interaction of human, machine and environmental system, and expounds the significance of human factors in industrial and working environment. It will play an important role in improving people's cognitive efficiency, improving man-machine system design and working environment. "Environmental Psychology" studies the relationship between human behavior and environment. For environmental planning, eliminate the influence of tense environment such as pollution and noise, and the influence of special environment such as acceleration, overload, low pressure, weightlessness, high temperature and high altitude on people.
Self-taught students who graduated from the School of Psychology can study undergraduate courses in no particular order, but the basic theory course is more difficult and the applied course is easier to understand. The two should be studied together and the burden should be even. Self-taught candidates who have graduated from non-psychology majors will study undergraduate courses after taking several basic theory courses in the junior college, otherwise it will bring difficulties to undergraduate study. According to the professional examination plan, college graduates majoring in education, medicine, sociology and political science need to take three courses: general psychology, social psychology and experimental psychology. In addition to these three courses, graduates of other majors have to take two courses: Psychostatistics and Psychometrics. Only after passing all the written courses and practical examinations (including graduation thesis) stipulated in the professional examination plan can you obtain the undergraduate diploma. Those who have excellent graduation thesis results and passed it at one time can apply for a bachelor's degree.
