Methods in Context - EPIC Revision PPT
Students find it hard to grasp the nature of the Methods in Context question. They need to understand that they need to take on the role of a Sociological researcher, and consider how the scenario they are given would work in reality - How would the given method work in this particular context? How might it work successfully? What might the drawbacks be?
Because the nature of this question is different to all of the others in the exam, I teach it a different way. What I have found useful over the years is to get students to look at past exam questions ALONGSIDE the relevant section of the examiners report and the mark scheme. For this question the examiners reports are particularly enlightening.
Consequently this EPIC revision PPT is different in style to all the others available in my shop. There are 11 slides in total. Three are introductory, followed by 8 slides - each dedicated to one of the eight past papers ‘Methods in Context’ questions. Laid out on these slides are the Item, the question, a summary of the examiners report for that question, the mark scheme (17-20 mark level descriptor) and a ‘Points to take away’ box - where I show students how to develop points from the Item in a way to get them into the higher mark bracket.
By the time they have worked through these slides/booklet, students will be much more confident about what they are trying to achieve when answering the ‘Methods in Context’ question and consequently are likely to gain higher grades.
I have also written EPIC revision PPTs for Crime & Deviance, Beliefs in Society + Families and househlds (AQA). These are available in my TES shop. Education and Sociological Theory are on their way!

Families and households - EPIC revision PPT
This is a complete revision PPT for the entire Families and Household’s topic for ‘A’ Level Sociology AQA Spec. There are 23 slides of content. The content of these slides is detailed enough to enable students to write a 20-mark essay on any Families and Households essay title that comes up in the final exam and provide suitable material for the 10 markers.
Students could print these slides and use them as separate revision cards or they could be printed as a complete revision booklet. The slides are designed to help the students break their revision up into manageable chunks – and the use of colourful, highlighted text and relevant pictures should help engage visual learners. I also use my EPIC revision PPTs in class – students have the booklet version open in front of them while I am teaching in addition to longer textbooks and other resources.
The slides contain relevant and up to date statistics from the ONS, the 2023 British Social Attitudes Survey and the 2021 Census – material that textbooks written in time for the ‘new’ spec in 2016 do not contain.
