This is a blank workbook for students to complete covering the whole of the Research Methods topic, including the mathematical elements. It has been created for the AQA Psychology A-Level Specification. The page numbers throughout refer to the Illuminate textbooks, Year 1 and Year 2. Here is a list of the contents: Features of a Science The scientific report The peer review process The implications of psychological research for the economy Reliability Validity Ethics Aims and Hypotheses Self Report: Interviews and questionnaires Sampling methods Variables Operationalisation Experiments Experimental design Descriptive Statistics 1: Measures of Central Tendency Quantitative and qualitative data Observations Pilot Studies Primary and secondary sources of data Meta-analysis Content analysis Case studies Graphs Correlations Descriptive Statistics 2: Measures of Dispersion Levels of Measurement Inferential Statistics 1: Probability and Statistical Significance Inferential Statistics 2: Type 1 and Type 2 errors Inferential Statistics 3: The Sign Test Inferential Statistics 4: Parametric and Non-Parametric Tests (includes, Spearman’s Rank, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon, Chi-squared, t-tests (related and unrelated), Pearson’s R) This workbook is in PDF form - I will upload an editable Word version at a later date. I will also be uploading a completed workbook with the answers, which may be useful for non-specialists/ general time-saving! It is 47 pages long. This could be used as a self-study/ homework task to accompany taught lessons. I will be teaching Research Methods alongside the other Year 12 topics this year, and so this is something students will be required to complete throughout the year. I would welcome feedback on my resources so I can continue to make improvements! Please note: This workbook contains a limited amount of content in relation to statistics which I have adapted to be suitable for AQA from /teaching-resources/shop/nfminaker where it was shared on a Creative Commons ‘Sharealike’ basis.

For AQA A-Level Psychology, this is a blank knowledge organiser for Social Influence, for students to complete themselves, either as they progress through the topic, or at the end as a revision tool.

It is loosely based on the Illuminate textbook, and covers everything required by the AQA Specification for Social Influence. It is printable on A3 but is fully editable, so you can make adjustments to suit your requirements, or students could type directly into it. It is 3 pages altogether. I am in the process of creating a full set of blank knowledge organisers, for each topic of the AQA A-Level course, so I would love to receive your feedback on this to help me develop these resources.

This is a grid for students to complete with knowledge from the Attachment topic for Paper 1 of the AQA A Level Psychology course. This helps them to organise their knowledge, and check they are revising all the essential aspects of the topic. It holds everything they need on two sides of A4. This is an editable Word file.

This workbook contains the key points students need to know for each method, practical activities to consolidate these, then practice questions for AO1 and AO2 and some examination practice questions. Alongside the main research methods, I have included related content, such as science reports, peer reviews, implications for the economy and features of a science. There is also an accompanying answer book for the practice AO1 retrieval questions and the AO2 application practice. Mark schemes for the practice examination questions can be obtained freely from AQA so have not been included in the answer book. Each file is in PDF format. The content has been checked as being in line with the specification changes for 2025. I plan to use a lot more retrieval practice in my lessons next year, and this resource has been created to support this. I intend to use various activities to support students in memorising the key AO1 and AO3 points for each research method, and then they can turn the page in the workbook and try answering the questions from memory. We will check the AO1 retrieval first and only then move onto the AO2 application. I have included practical activities for most research methods to help make it more interesting and relevant for students, and hopefully to increase elaborative rehearsal and deeper learning. I think this will make my life a lot easier next year, and the students will be much clearer on exactly what they NEED to know. Hope this is helpful for you too!

This is a grid for students to fill in with key points from the Issues and Debates topic in Paper 3 of the AQA Psychology A-Level.

This is a grid for students to complete with key AO1 and AO3 points for the Paper 3 Stress topic. It helps them to organise their knowledge and to summarise information. It is an A3 editable Word document. Please note, I have taken into account the specification changes coming in 2025 here, but the only proposed change to Stress is the removal of mention of specific drugs (benzodiazepines and beta blockers). I have chosen to leave these in as examples of drug therapies, as I think students will still need to explain how drug treatments work for stress treatment using specific examples.
