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.
