New GCSE Sociology Knowledge Organisers

Following from a safe distance the recent batches of A-level Knowledge Organisers (A Few More A-level Sociology Knowledge Organisers and Even More Sociology A-Level Organisers) comes something similar for GCSE. These are largely for AQA but there are a couple of sets aimed specifically at WJEC/Eduqas. Chase Terrace Academy: Although I’ve previously posted Organisers for […]

More GCSE Sociology PLC’s

Following from the original GCSE Sociology Personal Learning Checklist post I’ve found a few more PLC’s for different exam boards. These are a combination of teacher-created PLCs and what appear to be some professionally-created efforts. Most follow the familiar “RAG” (Red, Amber, Green) format, or simple variations thereof, but I’ve included a few for the […]

A-Level Revision Booklets: 1. Beliefs in Society

On the basis that you can’t have too many revision booklets (although, thinking about it, you probably can) I thought I’d post a few more I’ve somehow managed to collect, starting with three really-quite-comprehensive booklets covering Beliefs in Society (AQA), although they also cover useful stuff on Religion (OCR, Eduqas, CIE etc.). • Beliefs in […]

Measuring Crime

While, as you might expect, the magazine contains material (CPD events, important dates and recommended textbooks) specific to these particular exam boards, […]

Crime and Criminology PowerPoint 3

The third WJEC Criminology offering – again I’m thinking it’s by Janis Griffiths – focuses on Sociological theories of criminality and serves as a brief introduction to: • Marxism, • Functionalism, • Interactionism and • Realism. The main content here is basically a one-screen summary of key points so it’s probably best seen as a […]

Psych’d Magazine

Psych’d is a twice-yearly (October and July) Psychology Magazine, published by WJEC (formerly the Welsh Joint Examining Committee) and designed, in the words of its editor, “to provide key information, suggestions for teaching, updates and news as well as interesting features relating to our WJEC and Eduqas Psychology qualifications”.  Although the magazine contains stuff (applying […]

Those helpful people at the Welsh (Cymru) National Grid for Learning produce a range of free sociology and psychology resources to support the WJEC / Eduqas exam board Specification. For Sociology, you might find these two Sociology texts created for the new 2015 Specification particularly useful: AS Sociology eBook A2 Sociology eBook Psychologists might also […]
