Feuerstei, R. & Falik, L. H. (2010). Learning to think, thinking to learn:

A comparative analysis of three approaches to instruction. Journal of Cognitive

Education and Psychology, 9(1), 3-20.

The authors are reviewing two main theories of curriculum and instruction and are

presenting a possible third approach. The article provides a historical review of how the primary

two theories or approaches are developed. Their review includes work from Piaget, discusses the

theory of the bell curve as well as the historical and current development of educational

programs such as Headstart. This source will provide a great foundation for the early historical

aspects of my paper as well as providing support for the modern day experiences in educational

psychology.

cultural-historical theory. Educational Psychologist, 44(1), 1–19. doi:

10.1080/00461520802616259

This source reviews Vygostky’s theories on mastery, the zone of proximal development,

ego-centric speech, as well as self-regulation. Additionally, it discusses cultural influences in

terms of development and learning. It is a very well written and clear review of Vygotsky’s

theories and the past and current application. This will be a strong source for my paper.

that. Educational Researcher,31(16), 15-20. doi: 10.3102/0013189X031005016

The author in this article critiques a colleague’s previous article on Dewey and Vygotsky.

He goes on to review the work of both psychologists as well as highlight the similarities between

the two. This article explains how both theorists began their theories more simply and continued

to develop them with greater complexity over time, in particular Dewey who live longer than

Vygotsky. This article will continue to provide a solid support of historical information on both

Dewey’s and Vygotsky’s theories.

at university: the views of lecturers in history and psychology. Studies in Higher

Education, 29 (1), 7-23. doi: 10.1080/1234567032000164840

The authors in this article are reviewing the perception of gender of students in the

classroom by psychology and history faculty. It presents the notion that preconceived notions

may be biasing faculty members and impacting the experience of students based on their gender.

One of the biases presented is that female students are better at linguistic and writing skills.

Psychology faculty were one of the worst offenders in stereotyping. Overall, this article is very

interesting and highlights the need for educational psychologists to work with faculty and

educators on minimizing student bias or stereotypes.


Whitten, L. A. (1993). Infusing black psychology into the introductory psychology course.

Teaching of Psychology, 20, 13–21.

This article provides reasons for incorporating black psychology into introductory

psychology courses as many elements of psychology have a cultural basis and impact.

Additionally, it provides strategies on how to incorporate this into the curriculum as well as

feedback from students when it has been incorporated. This is a good article on cultural

influences in educational psychology for past and current times.
