Developing Psychological Literacy
According to McGovern, psychological literacy is being insightful and reflective about one’s own and others’ behaviour and mental processes’ and having the ability to apply ‘psychological principles to personal, social, and organisational issues in work, relationships and the broader community’.
Psychological literacy is developed through the use of self-report measures in class, allowing students to gain insight on their own behaviour and processes. Rather than being responsive to the 'psychological vanity' shown by some students ('Analyse me, Miss'), this allows students to be curious about their own Psychology. Additionally, it does require significant self-management to understand the judgements these self-reports offer.

Reading the EEG
|
EEG is an acronym for electroencephalogram. It is a graphical representation of electrical activity from the brain.
The EEG reads scalp electrical activity generated by the cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain. These minute amounts of electricity are recorded by placing small electrodes on the scalp using a mesh of recording electrodes. Reading the EEG graphical display takes significant amounts of courage and training and requires our students to learn about:
It takes significant courage for students to have this 'brain scan' on themselves, if they chose, let alone to read the displays and readings of others. |
