Educational Psychology Subject Pool

The Department of Educational Psychology has a Subject Pool that may be utilized to serve as a source of subjects for researchers in all six departments in the College of Education and occasionally for researchers from other departments outside the College. OSURR manages the Subject Pool on behalf of the Educational Psychology Department.

Students who enroll in one of the following Educational Psychology courses (201, 220, 236, 400, 404, and 485) are notified at the time of enrollment that as part of the course requirements they are expected to serve as research subjects in the subject pool for a designated number of hours.

Researchers who wish to conduct studies using subject pool students must complete the Educational Psychology Subject Pool Form and return it to 236C Education in order to apply for the subject pool. This form is submitted along with the approved IRB-1 form. Since students sign up for the Subject Pool experiments on a voluntary basis, no assurances can be given about the number of subjects that will sign up for any particular experiment.
