| contents | Fulfilling psychology’s promise: A model of undergraduate psychology education Ava D. Thompson Psicología Bahamas Keywords Education Caribbean Psychology Psychologists around the world have increasingly emphasized the role of culturally-relevant psychology education and training in the further development of a relevant psychology for the Majority World. However, resources and training opportunities are limited and there is no model to guide appropriate curricular development. In this article, a model of an undergraduate psychology program that addresses this gap is presented. The program was specifically designed to meet the needs of the Bahamian so - ciety and to foster the development of a Bahamian and Caribbean psychology. Various components of model, including the overall structure, core values and assumptions of a tripartite model (national, regional and international focus) are presented. The model includes a curriculum sequence on the psychology of human diversity where cultural specificity is emphasized. The article concludes with a brief discussion on the implications for psychology in the Majority World and global psychology. 2013 artículo científico 0034-9690 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28430082012 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=284 Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology application/pdf Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology (Puerto Rico) Num.2 Vol.47 |
