DEVELOPING FIELD WORK COMPONENTS OF PSYCHOLOGY FOR LIFELONG LEARNING


In the psychology field work have immense importance. A field experiment applies the scientific method to experimentally examine an intervention in the real world rather than in the laboratory. The use of experiments in the lab and the field has a long history in the natural and life sciences. Social psychology has a history of field experiments, including work by pioneering figures Philip Zimbardo, Kurt Lewin and Stanley Milgram. This paper examines various psychology field work components useful for developing curriculum for lifelong learning. As well as paper also emphasizes the need for hands-on reflective experiences for deeper understanding of the complexities of human behaviour. The benefits, advantages and limitations of undergoing field study by learners are also discussed.
