Distinguished Teaching in Psychology Award.

The APF Distinguished Teaching in Psychology Award recognizes an outstanding career contribution to the teaching of psychology. Patricia Marks Greenfield is the 1992 recipient of the APF Distinguished Teaching in Psychology Award. This article includes a citation, biography and a selected biography. The citation is quoted: "For rare dedication to teaching excellence. Patricia Marks Greenfield embodies the academic ideal of the creative and productive scholar whose talents are expressed equally in teaching and research. Her ability to fire the imagination of students is truly remarkable. She draws them into a deep appreciation of the intellectual challenge of psychology and its relation to their own daily lives. Her success is directly related to her philosophy that active participation is essential to learning. This approach is embodied in her development of a format that encourages animated discussions, even in large lecture classes, of "hands-on" participation and of an extremely effective practicum for both undergraduate and graduate teaching assistants. Also, Greenfield has mentored many exceptional graduate students, who credit her with their teaching successes." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
