AQA SOCIOLOGY DEBATES: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEORY AND METHODS
This pack is designed for approximately three lessons to cover the debates content about theory and methods.
The relationship between theoretical perspective and preference for particular research methods and sources of data. e.g. Positivism and quantitative data Interpretivism and qualitative data
The powerpoint contains the links to the student booklets and gapped areas for them to complete from the presentation as you work through the lessons. The teacher booklet has the answers and relevant links back to the ppt.
The booklets and powerpoint usually take me three lessons, allowing time during these for students to recap on the pieces of research evidence they have covered in their topic areas to add them to their notes or an A3 mind map as examples of how and where the main ideas (positivism, interpretivism, micro, macro, pardigms and theoretical issues) may have influenced the research undertaken across sociology.

**OCR Sociology A Level
Exam Revision Questions **
Set of example questions students can use for targeted revision.
The questions include a breakdown of question type and AO spread for each section of the exam paper.
These are designed for students to engage in targeted revision in order to practice the exam style questions. You could also use them to build assessments in the run up to the exams.
Please note, these are not OCR questions, these are questions I have devised that follow the exam style of questioning, but also enable students to target a range of possibilities in question wording for exam practice.
There are a range of questions for:
Paper 1 Section A (Socialisation, Culture, Identity)
Paper 1 Section B (Youth Subculture)
Paper 2 Section B (Social Inequality)
Paper 3 Section A (Globalisation and Digital Media)
Paper 3 Section B (Crime and Deviance)
I have not included Paper 2 Section A Research Methods in Context as these are based on source materials, and I tend to use studies I have used from across the social inequality topic to tackle those questions and extend understanding, so I don’t have questions for that section in this pack.
