Integrating technology and people approaches in postgraduate health psychology teaching

Heather J. Green

Chapter 19 in Teaching Health Psychology, 2026, pp 278-288 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Drawing on many years of teaching health psychology, the author reflects on lessons learned from revising teaching approaches for health psychology using a recent course/unit change as a case study. Working in a university without a postgraduate health psychology programme, health psychology is frequently not the students’ preferred study area. Striving to make the best use of evidence-based approaches to learning and assessment within university resourcing constraints has helped the author to develop effective ways to engage students in exploring health psychology to see its relevance and importance for future best practice. In this chapter, with a focus on postgraduate learning, the author describes examples regarding: (1) aligning course/unit structure to students’ professional practice; (2) implementing a flipped classroom approach; (3) using individualized pseudorandom case generation and allocation for learning and assessment; and (4) adopting non-graded assessment. Educators may find these examples useful when working with students with varied interest in health psychology.
