This peda.net website is consturcted and administered by Jyväskylän Lyseo Upper Secondary School IB Psychology teacher Markus Lajunen. All the possible materials covered in Markus' IB Psychology lessons are stored here. Please note, this website is only meant for sharing teacher's materials. No student work will be uploaded here.

Our school's MS O365 and ManageBac are used for uploading student works.

The primary communication channel is our school's Wilma. In addition to communication, all the topics covered during the lessons and possible homework are updated to Wilma under "Lesson diary" or "Tuntipäiväkirja". Students should actively keep track of the lesson diary.

Basic principle in Markus' teaching philosophy is, thought, that there should be as little as possible of any kind of formal homework. Everything should be done during the lessons. This does not mean that students of IB Psychology should not study outside classes. This just means that, if possible, there is no formal homework. As said above, all the teachers materials are stored here in this peda.net website and all the lesson topics will be updated into Wilma's lesson diary. The students are encouraged to skim through the study materials in peda.net BEFORE each lesson and review the contents with the help of the lesson diary AFTER each lesson. According to psychological research on learning, this strategy is very effective study method. 

Jyväskylän Lyseo Upper Secondary School offers IB Psychology in both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL). Available options at the moment are Abnormal Psychology and Psychology of Human Relationships.

Coursebook: Popov, Parker and Seath: IB Psychology Course Companion (2nd Edition) from Oxford University Press. Picture of the coursebook can be seen on the right. In addition to the course book, teacher will provide additional materials for each part of the IB Psychology Syllabus.
