The PowerPoint and handouts accompany a teaching and a revision video on YouTube (search Psychology Students for my channel.)
The PowerPoint contains everything for a full 16 mark question on the Psychodynamic Approach. The PowerPoint follows the structure for the essay.
There are some YouTube videos embedded (see notes section for links, and/or hover over the pictures) to help understanding of the Psychodynamic Approach.
It contains A01, A02 and A03 materials to cover everything for the exam and activities for students to do during class to help consolidation of learning.
I reference all my handouts in the header which is why the handouts are labelled below:
04 - PowerPoint with activities embedded for a whole lesson (double lesson, about 2 hours 40 mins)
04a - PowerPoint Activity for students to consolidate learning
04b - PowerPoint of a memory story for easy recall of the 16 mark essay
AP08 - a booklet for students to complete at home to help consolidation of learning
AP12 - a short answer test (10 minutes recommended) for the start of the next lesson.
AP12a - the answer sheet for the short answer test (best to get everyone to mark each other’s straight away to save time for the teacher.)
NB I usually have my margins on ‘narrow’ for Word documents. I presume when you download them this will be automatic, but if the formatting seems a bit off, change the margins to narrow and it should be fine.
Teaching and assessment materials for AS and A level students in psychology.
The PowerPoint accompanies the teaching video I made on Experimental Methods in Psychology which is available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OnL5tm0cmk
RM67: This is the assessment handouts on experimental methods and IV and DV. The students should watch the video and pause it as they go along to answer the questions.
RM67a: This handouts has the questions AND answers for easy marking during the beginning of a lesson.
I create resources using Word with the margins set to ‘narrow’. If you have any issues with the format of the handouts, please get in touch either here or on twitter and i’ll email you them again.
It’s for A level Psychology students/teachers following the new specification from 2015.
If you have any questions about the resources or video, please tweet me @blonde_pretzel
This resource goes into more depth about parametric statistical tests. If you are looking to teach Inferential Statistics for A level, please see my other resource: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/inferential-statistics-for-a-level-psychology-12029946
This resource explains about parametric test assumptions including normal distributions, variances and levels of measurement. This is probably more useful for 1st year degree level where they will need more information about choosing parametric tests. (For A level, students are not required to calculate variances etc)
01 PowerPoint for teachers (or students) of A level psychology on parametric tests (when to use each one). Includes activities throughout and any questions on the slides will have the answers in the notes section.
02 Is a handy choosing tree to quickly identify which statistical test to use (for parametric and non-parametric tests) and can be displayed in the classroom
02a is the choosing tree with blanks so you can easily and quickly test your students
03 Is a test on which statistical test to use. The test gives a hypothesis and experimental design and then requires students to identify the level of measurement, whether it’s a parametric or non-parametric test, which test to use and the reasons why. It could be used as a test at the beginning of the next lesson. Probably about 15 minutes due to the reading required.
03a The answers to the test (I get students to swap their tests and mark each others in the classroom, saves time on marking)
04 A poster on the assumptions of parametric tests for the classroom
Please note, on all word documents I select ‘narrow margins’. Please ensure you have narrow margins selected to ensure correct formatting.

This display is made for FE colleges but would also work well in secondary schools.
There are 21 posters of people who are in the LGBTQIA+ community linked to different academic fields. These match A levels and BTEC subjects that are taught in school/FE
There is some information about their achievements as well as some information about their experiences of being LGBT+. Some posters have QR codes that take them to further reading or videos.
The posters are in a PowerPoint.
Print the PowerPoint as FULL SLIDES (one side only printing) and then either cut off the outside white frame, or use a guillitine.
The PowerPoint is in the order that I have made the display. The posters are designed to be in rows of 7 (3 x rows of 7) and are in the colours of the rainbow.
See the photo attached to this for how it looks overall.
I made the display for a mobile display board (it is split into 3 sections for ease of moving,) but would work well on one large display board.
The lettering should also be printed as full page slides, AND THEN BLOWN UP FROM A4 TO A3.
The word document has the large versions of some of the poeple with their quote in a speech bubble. They are in order. I have put the names on the word document too.
Cut the lettering out and pin to the board.
Cut the white frame from the PowerPoint slides and pin to the board (i have put them in the order in which I pinned them to the board, so Slide 1 is first, to the right of that is slide 2, to the right of that is slide 3 etc to slide 7, then the next row has slides 8-14, and the last row has slides 15-21).
Cut the people out from the word document with their speech bubbles and pin to the board.
Please would also cut out my name on the last slide and attach to the display at the bottom. It has QR codes to my twitter and YouTube accounts. Many thanks.
The other word document contains the references. All images used were either free from wikipedia, or I asked the people for their permission.
Your AS and A level psychology students can watch this teaching video on YouTube on experimental design in psychology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1nF3-7KtZM and then complete the questions here for homework/directed study. There is also a short test designed to be 10 minutes long for individual assessment in exam conditions.
Four attachments:
1) RM59: Questions on experimental design in psychology from the teaching video
2) RM59a: Questions AND answers on experimental design in psychology from the teaching video.
3) RM08: Test on experimental design in psychology
4) RM08a: Test & Answers on experimental design in psychology
Two videos:
1) Teaching video on Experimental Design
2) Past Paper exam question with an explanation of how to answer it
Students can either peer mark using the answers sheet, or the teacher can use the answers for quick marking.

Most A Level psychology text books have 'Can You' or 'Check It' type questions on each page. These are exam style questions that help you assess your knowledge.
I have written answers to typical 'Can You' questions for the Memory Unit of A Level Psychology.
If you're a student, try the questions and then check against the model answers.
If you're a teacher, you could set the questions for homework and then perhaps get them to do peer marking using the answers as a marking template.
Each file attached is split into a different topic from the memory unit and has A01 (describe), A02 (apply) and A03 evaluate questions. There are full 16 markers for each topic in the unit.
CYM01 - capacity, duration and coding in Short and Long Term Memory
CYM02 - Multi-store model of memory
CYM03 - Working Model of Memory
CYM04 - Types of Long Term Memory
CYM05 - Explanations of Forgetting: interference
CYM06 - Explanations of Forgetting: retrieval failure
CYM07 - Accuracy of Eyewitness testimony: misleading information
CYM08 - Accuracy of Eyewitness testimony: anxiety
CYM09 - Accuracy of Eyewitness testimony: the cognitive interview
