Abstract

This article offers five pedagogical strategies for a history of psychology course to help students begin to discover their disciplinary worldviews or philosophies of psychology. Students write short, in-class, contemplative essays (microthemes) on polarities of psychology (e.g., empiricism vs. rationalism). The instructor presents selected student writing samples, peers debate their positions, and students respond to their peers' microthemes. Finally, in a detailed critical analysis assignment, students intensively reexamine selected microtheme polarities.
