The DP psychology course develops a greater understanding of the reasoning behind an individual's behavior and thought processes. The emphasis for this class will be placed on researching the interests of the students within the parameters of the IB framework, which focuses on three different approaches to understanding behavior: the biological, cognitive and sociocultural approaches. Students study and critically evaluate the knowledge, concepts, theories and research that have developed the understanding in these fields. The themes of all the topics and core approaches are discussed in relation to historical development of research and ethical considerations. In addition, we will systematically integrate Christian/biblical principles to our study of human behavior and cognition.
As believers, we can better understand and appreciate the amazing complexity of God’s creation. Studying the nature of our minds, perceptions, emotions, behaviors, and social development increases our wonder of God as our creator and God as our guide. Learning about the way we think and come to decisions enables us to be an active participant in God’s redemptive process as he helps us heal and grow in his grace. We are called “according to his purpose...to be conformed to the image of his Son,” (Romans 8:28-29)
