Description

In this paper, we describe a hands on experience based course for undergraduate students that we have been teaching for the past five years. We believe that one goal of a liberal education is to encourage students to experience various viewpoints and to develop critical thinking skills in order to refine and rationalize their own personal perspectives. In order to achieve this goal, we developed a course that used the observation of people as a means to explore core disciplinary areas of psychology. We developed materials that explored the perceptual, cognitive, social, cultural, and historical biases that people have. With these materials, this course offered students opportunities to reconsider their own frameworks (or ways of seeing) that they naturally acquired as they grew up. We discuss the effects and limitations of this method.
