The Psychology Learning and Teaching (PLAT) Conference

Every two years, the Higher Education Academy Psychology Network organised a forum for the discussion and sharing of knowledge and practice within Psychology undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, learning and assessment. The major aims of the conference were to bring together: lecturers and postgraduates teaching psychology; support staff working with psychology departments; researchers in the teaching of psychology; organisations implementing policy related to teaching in higher education; and developers and publishers of psychology resources


International Conferences on Psychology Education

There is a compelling need for greater understanding of how psychology is taught in different countries. However, it is difficult to obtain a coherent picture of how psychology is taught around the world, or to find any comprehensive description of a general system of psychology education for many countries. The major aims of this conference are to compile, describe, and summarise information on how psychology is taught internationally, and to exchange information and knowledge on research in the area of teaching and learning psychology.
