      It has been suggested to me - in the context of curriculum refresh - that psych undergraduate students just don't want to learn coding or stats. I don't think it's an accident that the people saying these things are older men, and the students are mostly women.

      I mean, this is clearly true of *a lot* of psych undergrads (men and women both), and I see no reason to deny it. but the fact that many students don't want to learn statistics is not a reason not to include statistics in the curriculum—and the same should be true for coding.

      I have talked to many students who, after having to learn more “techie” skills for a project, realised they *enjoyed* it and they needn’t have been anxious. We do our students a major disservice by indulging a bad cultural bias that they have internalised!

      I agree with this, but it isn't true if everyone, and it doesn't change the fact that a lot of students would preemptively opt out of the major if you added formal requirements

      I'm on the same page as you in that I think we should insist on these requirements anyway, but I don't think we should deny that there would be a nontrivial impact on enrollment at most schools

      This is true more in the USA, where you can simply switch majors by changing the mix of classes you take, than the UK. I see no evidence that before they enroll, students have more than a vague idea what psych is about.

      So we get to shape their ideas about psych. In the UK you are in a set three year program and you don’t just switch.

      I see no reason why in the UK - the way the system works - we’d see a drop in enrolments.

      Exactly. This is why I had no idea what Tal was even on about until I realised it was a USA vs UK thing and questioned him. 😂

      But surely the knowledge would trick down. Noone entering a UK university is unaware that physics has nontrivial quantitative skill requirements.

      I have never met a UK psych undergrad who knew there was stats and they tend to think it's a huge shocking thing and initially (at least) dislike it and resent it.

          Fair, but even though their precise knowledge is inaccurate they do have a correct understanding that the quant skill requirements in psych are << those in physics, maths.

          My point was in the UK they have already done teaching coding to all years of undergrad — just like they go from t-test to linear regression and more over the 3 years in stats.

          Basically my point boils down to: in the UK the tide has turned and we teach undergrads to code "against their will" just like we teach them research methods/stats "against their will". 🤣

          Not those I interact with. Mostly international students, Birkbeck students (UGs without A levels often), MSc students, etc. Is Psychology A level actually a requirement for your UGs?

          In Scotland we have a 4 year course and you can switch degree topic within the first 2 years if you have earned enough credits in the other topic. There are more students than you might think who are surprised that statistics are involved at all in Psychology.
