Sociology Revision Booklets: 6. Culture and Identity
Somewhat surprisingly, at least to me, there seems to be a positive dearth of Culture and Identity related revision material, at least of the Word / Pdf variety (PowerPoint users seem much better served). Why that should be I don’t know but I have managed to find a few resources you and your students might […]
Raised Without Gender
Culture and Identity is an important part of the a-level sociology specification for a number of Boards and this 30-minute film might be a good way to get your students thinking about both cultural norms generally and gender / sexual identities in particular. The film looks at the idea of “gender neutrality” through the lens […]
Psychology Students YouTube Channel
I came across this Channel after following a Twitter link to one of its videos (Experimental Design in Psychology – well worth a watch if you’re interested in knowing more about Independent Groups, Repeated Measures or Matched Pairs designs). Overall, the Channel offers three types of video: 1. “To Camera” video lectures, which although quite […]
Education PowerPoints: Part 2
Part 2 of the Education Presentations gives you more of the same, only less of it. More PowerPoints, in other words, but fewer of them than in Part 1. Most of these are fairly straightforward “Teaching Presentations” but some contain YouTube videos (again, I’ve converted the links so they will play directly inside the Presentation) […]
Education PowerPoints: Part 1
Alongside the Revision Guides I seem to have collected a large number of Education PowerPoints that, while not explicitly geared towards revision, could be used in this way. Alternatively, they could just be used as part of your normal classroom teaching. The Presentations are by a mix of authors (where known) but the majority are […]
Sociology Revision Booklets: 5. Education
Another day, another set of A-level revision booklets. This time, as you may have guessed from the title, it’s the turn of Education with 5 resource packs of varying length, depth and complexity for your revising pleasure. Where known I’ve identified the author and, as ever, most are AQA with the odd-sop thrown in the […]
The Sociological Detectives: Hiding in Plain Sight
In this third outing in the Research Methods series, the Sociological Detectives investigate Overt Participant Observation through a simple piece of hands-on research. This PowerPoint Presentation – the 3rd in the Research Methods series (the others being The Research Process and Non-Participant Observation) – combines a hands-on approach to doing Overt Participant Observation with a […]
The Sociological Detectives: BOLO
In this research methods simulation students take on the role of Sociological Detectives to investigate formal and informal norms using non-participant observation. In the second simulation in the Research Methods series – the first, Trial and Error, introduced the Research Process – students again take-on the role of Sociological Detectives. This time, however, they are […]
