For use with papers 1 + 3 (AQA A-Level Sociology) Designed as a 1 hour revision lesson. It tests and recaps the students on: Qualitative v quantitative Interpretivists v positivists validity, reliability, objectivity, and representation advantages & disadvantages of primary & secondary data The next part of the lesson is student led: in pairs or small groups they are to assess strengths and limitations of each type of data. To consolidate their learning within this lesson there is a practice exam Q at the end of the PowerPoint: ‘Outline and explain two problems of using primary qualitative methods in sociological research. (10 marks)’ There is also a mark scheme included from AQA so there is the possibility of peer-assessment within this lesson. There is an optional homework activity included also which is a quiz which tests the students’ knowledge from this lesson.

A full unit of work desgined to introduce KS5 students to A-Level Research Methods for the first time. This is a series of 7 lessons, including all relevant spec points for both AQA A-Level Sociology. These lessons are inspired by recent pedagogy, including the Rosenshine Principles and TLAC techniques. These resources have been praised and approved by experienced Sociology examiners. My resources include: Do now style quizzes with answers Video quizzes with answers Mini-Whiteboard style activities Relevant and up to date news article reference Exam focused extended writing Well structured discussion prompts Homework/Independant study recommendations

Designed for AQA but could be used for other boards. This is a booklet of activities the students work through for revision on research methods. I have included answers for the statistics section of the booklet. Includes: Hypotheses Variables Ethics Sampling methods Research methods Validity Reliability Statistics Data Distributions Features of Science I have included a PDF version and a word version. The word version doesn’t always keep all its formatting when it is opened on different laptops so I would stick with the pdf version. This was designed to work with a teacher presentation that can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/revision-for-research-methods-teacher-presentation-aqa-psychology-could-be-used-for-other-boards-11623128

All of the year 1 and 2 research methods content in mind maps. Great for consolidation and revision. A3 format and 29 pages in total

Made for AQAPsychology A-level but could be easily adapted for other boards. This is a presentation I work through with my students while they are revising research methods - it includes over 60 slides (some with content and some with indications of a task to complete). I usually teach short sections of research methods and then get them to complete the activities in the corresponding booklet. This took me 3-4 lessons of 90 minutes each to complete it all but some could be set for homework. This includes a sample essay on designing research and a summary table for features of science which are areas students often struggle with. The corresponding booklet can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/research-methods-revision-booklet-of-activities-28-pages-aqa-psychology-11623089?theme=0

This editable 32 page workbook is perfect for independent study or guiding students throughout the lesson, for experienced and new teachers alike. On Page 2-3 is the specification, with three faces so they can RAG rate their understanding throughout the topic. It also has a column they can tick to indicate that they have revised each area. On Pages 4-6 is a glossary which could be used as revision or in lesson as a key terms test. On each page there is space for students to complete information or activities to demonstrate their understanding and completion of the topic. When printing, I would recommend converting the PowerPoint to PDF as this may cause some formatting issues with some printers.

Please note, the experiment ‘menu’ has been inspired by the AQA GCSE Psychology course e.g. options to replicate Murdock, Gilchrist and Nesburg and Bruner and Minturn. There are also 2 additional experiments which students can learn about before conducting the research. Research links are included. The resource includes 4 phases/lessons: Getting started and the planning proposal form Following ethical guidelines Conducting the research Writing the experimental report Students will require prior knowledge of research methods to effectively plan. We complete this experiment after teaching the Research Methods unit at the end of year 10. If you wish to change the resources, please convert to a word document to make edits.
