I’ve begun creating knowledge organizers for introductory psychology which cover all of the most important concepts for each unit. These are one-page summaries which represent information that students are expected to know. The information is organized in a way that allows for retrieval practice and makes it easy for students to quiz themselves or others.
This content represents the building blocks necessary for students to begin thinking about, discussing, and writing about the ideas from the unit. In other words, these organizers are not comprehensive in terms of what students are expected to be able to do with this knowledge. These are the fundamental concepts that need to be known in order to be able to think critically and engage with the material from the unit.
This is the first organizer I’ve created and posted. If you find it useful, please let me know in the comments section and I’ll be sure to create and post future organizers for other units as well! Any other suggestions for using or improving knowledge organizers is welcome too!
