PROVIDING DELIBERATELY CHALLENGING TASKS IN A GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY FOR LEADERS COURSE AT THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY
Instructors at West Point pair challenging tasks with supportive instruction to facilitate learning. In General Psychology for Leaders, instructors presented memory lesson materials in a difficult-to-read font designed to promote deep processing, required daily study quizzes online or in-class for repeated and distributed self-testing practice, and used artificial intelligence for individualized oral presentation feedback. Evaluations and applications of these activities will be presented, along with a discussion of how well course grades predict subsequent leadership performance.
