INTEGRATING COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH INTO A PSYCHOLOGY SEMINAR<br />
</strong>MICHELLE SCHMIDT (MORAVIAN COLLEGE)<br />
A model for a community-based research project in an upper level developmental psychology seminar will be discussed. Students worked with the local YMCAs to create a study of summer camp effectiveness. Students investigated research behind the goals of the camps (belongingness, achievement, relationship building) and explored methodologies to investigate these variables. Y staff visited the seminar four times throughout the semester. The end product was a collaboratively created study that was subsequently carried out.<br />

EFFECTS OF LEARNING COMMUNITY AND COHORT PROGRAMS WITHIN A PSYCHOLOGY-WRITING PARTNERSHIP</strong><br />
NATASHA SEGOOL, MARGARET TARAMPI, BETH RICHARDS, JESSICA NICKLIN, JUSTIN KOWALSKI (UNIVERSITY OF HARTFORD)<br />
Recognizing that writing is an essential learning outcome for psychology majors, this study examined the effect of providing writing instruction for Psychology majors through specially designed courses. This study tested instruction through curriculum-based Learning Communities (LC) and Major-specific cohorts of first-year psychology majors in comparison to instruction through University general education sections. LC and Cohorts were designed to enhance learning and/or community connections among psychology majors. Results suggest promising relational and learning effects.</span>
