Cinema Thrillers: Reviews of Films Highly Rated by Psychology Students

Psychology, developmental psychology in particular, is a field that lends itself to the use of audiovisual materials in instruction. Students are typically eager for a more direct experience with the phenomena of development than they can obtain through texts and lecture presentation alone. In the course of teaching several sections of a survey course in developmental psychology during the past few years, I have experimented with many different experiential learning modes to complement lecture and text presentations. Class demonstrations, field observations, supervised tutorial experience, and group research projects have met with varying degrees of success, but the approach that has brought the most consistent and enthusiastic student response has been the use of high-quality educational films. By spending many hours in reviewing available films, and then winnowing the best of those films reviewed through several quarters of student evaluations, I have distilled a program of educational media that has received almost uniformly positive student ratings on end-of-term anonymous course evaluations.
