The new psychology course covers biological, cognitive, and sociocultural approaches, as well as research methodology. Paper 1, Section A, includes short-answer questions on these approaches, allowing students to apply them to various contexts. Answers should be concise and focused, with examples not necessarily limited to psychological studies. Get ready to adapt to the new structure!
New psychology curriculum – concepts, content and contexts
The new IB Diploma psychology curriculum will be taught from September 2025. The new psychology guide won’t be published until Feb/March 2025, but you don’t need to wait till then to start preparing. The subject brief in the public area of the IB website can help you get started. Look there for more details. Meanwhile, many of my blog posts from now on will help you plan your new curriculum.
