Abstract
This article addresses the myriad challenges that teachers of introductory psychology face regardless of the context in which they teach. We specifically explore the many variables that may make introductory psychology so challenging, including delivering a comparable course experience across different contexts. We discuss the recommendations made by the American Psychological Association Introductory Psychology Initiative (APA-IPI) regarding student learning outcomes that can be adopted for any course design. The article concludes with a review of some thematic approaches that can build upon APA-IPI recommendations and also enhance student engagement and performance metrics in measuring the quality of introductory psychology courses.
