This is the fifth lesson in the topic of Research Methods in the AQA GCSE Psychology 8182 course.
I don’t deliver this topic all in one go, I interleave the lessons throughout the other topics. If you are teaching the whole topic in one go, I have tried to make the whole series of lessons about the same imaginary investigation for some consistency and a continued thread of learning.
The lesson covers the definitions of sample, target population, the importance of generalisation and the avoidance of bias. It then takes students through different sampling methods as well as their evaluations.
LO1: Describe the purpose of sampling.
LO2: Outline five sampling methods.
LO3: Evaluate the usefulness of the five sampling methods.
The activities include taking the students through why sampling is important as well as different methods of doing it. I have included examples, notes, practice questions and a worksheet.
I designed this as a single lesson (50 mins) but can be extended or shortened as necessary.
My lessons follow the textbook ‘AQA Psychology for GCSE’ from Illuminate Publishing.

I would buy all of the lessons for this course if you had them! Quality is very good and I just took over the course mid-year after a teacher that was way below par (I have never taught psychology before since my subject is biology) and this is saving me and the students! Today one student not taking the course even stole the worksheet of one of my students and then came and asked if they could have one as well.
