The Psychology Debate Generator (Psychology A2) "Issues, debates and Approaches" [revision, AfL]

An essential download for any AS/A2 Psychology teacher.

This resource contains 100 debates for A2 Psychology students (also useful for AS preparatory work). It also contains a 'randomiser' slide: when clicked a random sociological debate is presented to the group.

It refers to the issues mentioned in the AQA Psychology specification for the "Issues, debates and Approaches" section. It also refers to broader debates connected to psychology and mental health.

Debate slides ask students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.

Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.

Uses include:

-AS/A2 Psychology Classes
-P4C (Philosophy for kids) sessions
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
-Easy cover lesson setting
-A perfect revision tool for many revision sessions
-Ability to incorporate the resource into essay planning activities (e.g. "You have five minutes to plan an essay on this debate in teams")
