The only additional resource you will need is a reputable textbook or the original journal articles for Milgram Variations activity and Burger (as I cannot upload the journal articles that I use with the students as they are not mine to share).

Research Methods PEARSON EDEXCEL A Level Psychology This is a full and comprehensive 94-page student booklets that draws together EVERY research method from across all the topics in Psychology. I give to students at the start of Year 12, which they use to make summary tables, mind maps and so on. The purpose is a ‘one-stop’ methods source. Students use this throughout Y12 and their ‘go-to’ for revision in Y13, particularly with Paper 3 where they use this booklet to support evaluations of unseen studies as practice for Paper 3. I don’t ‘teach’ from this as I embed the methods into each topic, it is an editable word document, you can very easily covert sections to activities, gapped spaces, create a lesson from the content. It is quite flexible in what you can use this for and how you prefer to do that. Methodological concepts covered, with example research studies from topics wherever possible, are: Scientific status of psychology Practical issues in research Ethical considerations of research Experimental methodology Case study methodology Self-reported data methodology Brain scanning techniques Twin and adoption study as a methodology Correlational methodology Observational methodology Content analysis methodology Thematic analysis methodology Grounded theory Animal research methodology Longitudinal methodology Cross-sectional methodology Cross-cultural methodology Meta-analysis methodology

ACTIVITIES to utilise in lessons that are prompted in the PowerPoints and student/teacher booklets.

(2013) Timing of High-Quality Child Care and Cognitive, Language and Preacademic Development. The Key Question in this pack is: What issues should parents consider when deciding on day care for their child? The Practical Investigation is: The aim of the research investigation is to analyse the positive experiences of using day care for parents with children who are in preschool or day nurseries. The only additional resource you will need is a reputable textbook or the original journal articles for the studies (as I cannot upload the journal articles that I use with the students as they’re not mine to share). There is also reference to the C. Brain textbook for a few of the Methods activities. Please note, the first part of the booklet about Attachment is a summer holiday task, therefore there is not a power point for this section, students read over summer and produce a full set of notes with additional research to present to the rest of the class at the start of Y13. We then usually do a few lessons of recap, dealing with misconceptions and the 16-mark assessment structure. This can be combined with your own existing resources, where you can simply add or replace pages in the staff and student workbooks. If you are switching specification or are a newly qualified teacher just starting to teach the course this pack is a full, off-the-shelf and ready to go teaching pack.

TASK: This is a task that goes with the globalisation and digital media activity resource pack, it was not originally included in the file upload for the teacher resource pack (it has now been added, but this is for anyone who was missing it from the pack before 3rd April 2025). Apologies :(

This is a resource pack for the first few lessons of AQA GCSE Sociology (new specification) to introduce students to new concepts and ideas, along with what to expect in the course. This pack usually takes me just a couple of lessons to deliver as part of a Year 10 induction week. It includes: Teacher booklet Student booklets PPTs Activities This can be adapted for other GCSE Sociology specifications, and can also be used or adapted if you have ‘taster’ lessons with Y9 into Y10 when they are picking their GCSE choices (or Y11 into Y12 if you offer GCSE at Sixth form). (You could also probably scale this up for Y12 A Level Sociology if you wanted to adapt the content and add the extra depth to cover the A Level standard). *If you are teaching Sociology, I have other resources available for the GCSE, and AQA & OCR A Level topic areas. These are full topic packs that are ‘ready to go’, so are especially helpful for anyone who is a PGCE student or NQT.
