A Level Psychology 3x induction trial introduction lessons Edexcel

Edexcel A Level Psychology (but by editing just a couple of overview slides these lessons could be suitable for any specification that covers Milgram and obedience, memory and SLT/Bandura).

3 induction lessons for year 11 students interested in taking A Level Psychology. These can be delivered face to face or used for virtual/blended learning. Also includes scheme of work for the 3 lessons.

Lesson 1 - Social (obedience)
Discussion about obedience and why it occurs
Overview of Milgram’s research
Students design and evaluate an obedience study

Lesson 2 - Learning theories (SLT)
Discussion about whether video games cause aggression
Overview of Bandura’s research
Students design and evaluate a learning theories study

Lesson 3 - Cognitive (memory)
Selective attention videos
Memory experiment
Students design and evaluate a memory study

In the past I have delivered these sessions getting current year 12/13 students to support year 11 students in designing their own research in small groups. This has worked extremely well, as the current students can support and encourage consideration of samples, variables etc.
