The National Qualification (NQ) in Higher Psychology is an SQA course which provides learners with the opportunity to gain an understanding of psychological theories, concepts and studies. The course is normally delivered using a lecture and tutorial format.
The course delivery for one of the units - The Individual in the Social Context - was completely redesigned in line with the TESEP principles, and all course content was removed. Lessons were created to empower the learner to work as a researcher, independently and collaboratively, to identify relevant psychological theories and studies inline with the course requirements. |
This case study was created as part of the TESEP project. Use the links below to find out more about the TESEP project.

The project aimed to empower learners and facilitate their development of the skills to promote independent and lifelong learning using the TESEP principles:
- encouraging learners to be as active as possible
- personalising learning
- encouraging social and collaborative learning
- ensuring regular feedback and self-diagnosis
- Using technology effectively to enhance learning.
