Yes, it is taught in universities in primary and higher studies

Khalid aswad Layikh I mean in the secondary school / high school

No, it is not tought in any level.

Abdulrahman Alkhaldi Thx. Which country?

Yes, in high school, gymnasium, but just for one school year. Montenegro

In England, psychology is available to be taught in school as a two-year course during the final two years of schooling (for 16-18 year olds). The course culminates in an examination that is a qualification for unversity entrance. For details of what is taught, see:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/gce-subject-level-conditions-and-requirements-for-psychology

For some university subjects, there is no debate about whether the sublect should be taught in schools; an example is Mathematics. For other subjects, there may be more of a debate; for example, whether Law should be taught in school.

We begin to appreciate the historical order of things:

I was born, grew up and educated (Primary school, Gymnasium and university education) in the former Yugoslavia.

(1) In secondary school in the third grade we are learned psychology of personality.

(2) During university education, every future teacher listens and starts exams from the Psychology of adolescents and Adolescent Pedagogy.

(3) Now, in the newly established states of the former Yugoslavia, the situation regarding the educational subjects of Psychology and Pedagogy is similar.

In many places in the United States it is an elective in High School. At the university the introduction course is taught as a general education elective most places. Of course most colleges and universities have a psychology major. My university offers a bachelor's and a master's degree in psychology.

Khalid aswad Layikh , Dijana Vučković , Keith Jones , Daniel Romano , Gregg W. Etter Thank you all much for your answers. I am currently writing my doctoral thesis on "Language difficulties for pupils in the school subject psychology" in grammar school and secondary school.

In Austria, psychology lessons in grammar schools are compulsory in the 11th grade, i.e. 1 year before the Abitur examination. This is not the case in Germany and Switzerland. That is why I was interested to know what it is like in other countries.

I would like to ask a few questions to some teachers who teach psychology in grammar schools (i.e. not at university!). Questions like "Do you think that your pupils have in the subject psychology more problems with the subject language as in other subjets? If you know any teacher who teaches psychology at school, I would be very happy about an interview.

Thank you very much,

MFT

I'm not sure whether psychology is the only subject we learn in the higher classes of general schools, I don't think so because the classical subject matter of the school subjects is already very extensive. But in some federal states it was possible to choose pedagogy as a school subject.

In a federal system the curricula are very different.

I just see that in Bavaria it is possible to choose a psychology module in the upper school. (approx. 16 hours)

Unfortunately no

switzerland

yes. but it depends on a school's profile whether it is available at the "gymnasium".

some schools do not offer psych courses

some schools offer a minor track: 1 year (last year), e.g 4x45min per week

some schools offer a focus track: 3-4 years, approx 5x45min per week

why are you asking?

As pleased as I am that the subject of psychology is already receiving attention in the curriculum of the graduating classes, I am very sceptical that teachers who are not trained for this subject will suddenly become experts in psychology. If you are about to take your final exam at a grammar school or comprehensive school, then as a pupil you have a claim to the competence of the teachers, which is not available.

It is eye-washing to find out with satisfaction that psychology is taught in the secondary school system. Such a subject can be offered quickly in school as a choice, but the teachers have no expertise as they have as English, mathematics or sports teachers..

PS. If there is a need in schools for a new subject that was not offered before, then the universities are far from being prepared to offer a full range of courses, including didactics, especially for this relatively small number of hours of psychology in school. But it may be that some universities in Germany offer not only the usual BA/MA courses, but also more specialised courses for teachers.

Mehmet Fatih Tankir ich verbreite den Link gern in meinem Netzwerk. Viel Erfolg!!!

In England, where psychology is available to be taught in school as a two-year course during the final two years of schooling (for 16-18 year olds), there are teachers who are qualified to teach psychology at that level. Such teachers usually have a university degree in psychology and have completed a teacher training programme to teach psychology at that level.

its very relevant question in modern education context.

From last two three decades society is changed a lot and there is good number of researches in field of psychology.

Learner, teacher or teaching learning process is changed from Bi-Polar to Tri-Polar process.

all these changes require good psychological basis from family and early school, but unfortunately its only optional subject in some CBSE /ICSE boards in Punjab...State Board schools have no provision of psychology subject at school level(Even after 10th standard)

Não temos no Brasil a disciplina Psicologia no currículo do Ensino médio.

Mas no curso de formação de professores, sim.

Eliete APARECIDA de Godoy vielen Dank für deine sehr verständliche Antwort

كلا ليس هناك مادة دراسية في تخصص علم النفس في سائر المراحل الدراسية

DISCIPLINARY Psychology is included in the pre-university education curriculum at the high school level, X-A class.

Not in-depth but at the primary school from grade 7, they touch on some aspects of it. Psychology students experience it at University and University of Technology (Technikons)

It is not a required course in high schools here in the States but many students will elect to take AP Psychology.

In Australia, a lot of schools do not offer the subject, however most prestigious schools with the reason being that psychology is still a relatively new concept and has only recently been considered a science, thus some schools have not adopted psychology as a subject option.

Your overall ranking is determined by your performance in grade 11 and 12 (aged 17 to 18). At the school I attended, psychology was offered as a subject at grade 9 (aged 15) and continues on to grade 10 (aged 16) as preparatory subjects for the grade 11 and 12. The logic is that grade 11 and 12 are the most important years of schooling as it will determine your overall placement and university options, therefore 2 years of preparation will students to gain a good amount of knowledge before entering the most important years of schooling.

But once again, that does not apply to all Australian schools. I personally attended the best public school of my state.

You can spare time if you read results of research, if relevant, in a good magazine.

In Serbia, Psychology is an alternative course at the High School.

Students choose between ''Psychology'' and ''Sociology'' to attend for 2 years.

It is also an alternative course at the first year of Bachelor Studies at the University.
