This worksheet describes the approaches and debates in psychology which are embedded in the new OCR spec. Students can learn about these through discussions or group work.

A general introduction to Islam and the 5 pillars

(0)
Key stage 3 RE - a good introduction to Islam. The lesson begins with a linking activity which enables students to write in the first oval what they know already about the religion, then fill in the second oval as a review task at the end of the lesson. The lesson uses clips and key questions for students to make notes on the basics about Islam. Later on the presentation, it moves onto the 5 pillars of Islam and enables a learning from religion activity for students to try and relate some of the principles of Islam in a non-religious way. This could be adapted to work over 2 lessons.

The newspaper template is good for extended writing and to allow students to apply knowledge at the end of a topic or for a homework task. It can be enlarged to A3 and applies to loads of different learning activities. The linking chart is good for a starter/review task when commencing a totally new topic. Students write what they know in the first oval, then write their new knowledge in the second oval as a review at the end of a lesson or series of lessons. The middle section should encourage students to ask, how they learned. The postcard is best printed onto coloured card and can be used in any subject, the blank side could be used for a summary with diagrams and pictures of the topic and the address side used for students to use extended writing to apply their descriptions and explanations of the topic learned. Suitable for any year group.

The starter activities link to research methodology and get students to think critically about questionnaires. Then this lesson follows on from the core study. It allows you to teach the main weaknesses of the study and ask students how they can expand on them. Students should then try out a 13 mark question or write about how the study could be improved.

Multi Store Model of Memory - A Lesson that should follow the teaching of this theory.

(0)
This works to revise the theory and has a quick recap then the main task is for students to work in pairs on reconstructing the diagram of the MSM. The blank diagram is for students and should be printed and enlarged to A3. The idea is that students are allowed to “peep” at the original which is fully annotated, then take turns to build up their copy with the correct descriptions of the components of this theory. At the end of the power point there are 2 slides that can be differentiated in lots of ways to support independent writing about the theory.

DIY student experiment in chunking

(0)
This lesson is designed to take student through the chunking experiment that links to capacity and duration in the MSM. It has full instruction to explain how to get started and a printable results table for students to gather the raw data. It provides a good opportunity to link in to research methods and develop student’s understanding of and ability to write about how research in psychology works. It is accompanied by a help sheet for students to write up the experiment once they’ve carried it out. This could be given as a homework task following the DIY lesson. Both these resources link to pages 125-126 of the new spec (OCR)textbook. Finally, the homework sheet can be easily adapted for use on writing up any of the other student DIY tasks (now for some maths!)
