| Abstract: | The 1991 conference on undergraduate education in psychology, held at St. Mary's College in St. Mary's City, Maryland, resulted in two documents that are relevant to anyone concerned with undergraduate education in psychology. The large proportion of students who major in psychology underscore the importance of how psychology is taught to undergraduates. The Quality Principles, one of the documents generated by the conference, is a blueprint for innovation and change in undergraduate education. The Quality Principles are contained in this article. Principles for quality undergraduate psychology programs and steering committee members of the APA National Conference on Enhancing the Quality of Undergraduate Education in Psychology are appended. A correction to this article was published in the American Psychologist, Vol 51(4), April 1996, page 370. The correction notice provides the names of 2 individuals that were listed in Appendix B incorrectly.] (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
