Collaborative learning in an introduction to psychological science laboratory: Undergraduate teaching fellows teach to learn

In this article, we describe the laboratory component of an Introduction to Psychological Science course and a teaching fellows Program in which undergraduates direct these laboratory experiences. We present the goals of the laboratory class and describe its curriculum, and we examine the goals and operations of the teaching fellows program. Furthermore, we consider the outcomes of this experience for introductory students and teaching fellows, and we examine the implications of the teaching fellows program for quality undergraduate education.
