Round Two: A Modularized/Individualized Secondary Educational Psychology Course.

The development of a modularized program for secondary educational psychology students at the University of Colorado is reviewed. The beginning stages and prototype produced are described, but emphasis is on the revision of the first system. Changes in the course, covering both educational and adolescent psychology, include expansion of the number of modules, addition of contract and consultation procedures, and revision of the course overview and instructor manual. A brief analysis is made of the decision to turn down other presently available systems for a newly devised modular system. The latter part of the review deals with the characteristics of the program and development problems encountered. Basic module structure, which includes a management sequence, set of objectives, student study guide, and evaluation procedures, is outlined. Proposed revisions include changes in the required module load, strategies to broaden student learning experiences, and addition of lectures. (Author/KSM)
