IB Psychology - A Student's Guide

"Help, I'm drowning in IB Psychology!". We hear this all the time from teachers and students, which is why we've published a textbook to make your life a lot easier. By drastically reducing the content requirements of the course through the "Themantic" approach that finds overlaps between topics, the pressure of the course is reduced, so you get more time and less stress. For example, there's no need to study Social identity theory (SIT) and prejudice as two separate topics. Why not teach SIT as the explanation for prejudice? Voila! Two topics - half the time. Similarly, why study effects of hormones (bio approach) and explanations of disorders (abnormal psych) as two separate topics? If we teach the effects of hormones on the brain as an explanation of the symptoms of PTSD - bingo! Two topics - half the time. This textbook offers support like no other through our blog, Facebook groups, YouTube channel and with our Teacher Support Packs. The book also contains everything needed for the IA, as well as some guidance for the EE. With full colour design and images, the text is engaging for students both visually and in terms of content. A lot of experienced teachers recommend that the best way to teach IB Psychology is holistically, through integrating the three approaches and the options. This is only textbook that we know of that has been designed specifically for this approach. Besides this unique structure, more features of the text include: * Interesting topics not included in other books, like "Criminology" * Full lesson and unit plans with student workbooks available in our Teacher Support Packs * Lesson-by-lesson layout for easy planning * Guiding questions and practice exam questions * Complete glossary with definitions of over 400 key terms written in clear language for easy comprehension for EAL (and all) students
