Behavioral contributions to teaching of psychology: an annotated bibliography.

Geurts et al. (2008) built a one-stop reading list for college teachers who run behavior analysis courses. They hunted through 32 years of journals, from 1974 to 2006. They pulled 116 articles and sorted them into nine teaching buckets like active student responding and classroom management.

The team did not run new experiments. Instead they wrote short notes on each article so you can pick the right paper fast. The list gives any instructor instant access to tested teaching tricks such as response cards, peer tutoring, and precision teaching charts.

Critchfield (2018) extends the same teacher-help line but adds a fresh layer. He says you should also teach stimulus-relations lessons so students learn more for the same teaching time. Pratt (1985) came earlier and sketched four job types for behavior analysts; the 2008 list hands you the teaching tools for every type. Sidman (2002) reminisces about informal mentorship in the old days; the bibliography turns that friendly advice into a concrete shelf of papers you can assign tomorrow.

If you teach ABA at any level, this paper is your grocery list. You can skip long database hunts and pick a proven activity that fits the day's goal. Try one new article each week and your students get 32 years of best practices without extra prep time.
