Annette,
I have taught I/O psyc for years and rarely do my students have any
preconceptions or misconceptions with regard to the material. They
generally have no clue regarding the application of psychological theories
and methods to the workplace so they tend to approach the material with an
open mind. You might contrast this course with courses in child development
where students feel they have some answers (they have personal experience
having been kids or having reared children) so they are quicker to take
issue with what the instructor is teaching.
I tell my I/O students that if they are successful in their early
years in the workplace, chances are good that they will be promoted to
supervisor or middle-mgmt positions -- and the content of the I/O course
will give them an advantage when they take that step up. By the end of the
course, they tend to agree with me here.
