Just some resources for AS Level Sociology on types of Experiments. Use in conjuction with the Reliable-Valid worksheet I uploaded. Simple, but effective. Enough to get some good discussions out of the class. No PPT. I never bothered with a PPT for this topic. I used videos of Milgram, Jane Elliot, Stamford Prison Experiment and Bandura’s Bobo Doll.

Print this off double sided and complete at the end of every method. Even the small ones like Semiology. I’ll stick this up for free so I can get a one star review and someone telling me it doesn’t contain any information.

This a full lesson, probably two if you drag it out, on how Natural Science knowledge systems conflate with Religious knowledge systems. It’s all here and good to go, though please see the notes before you teach it. It is easy to understand and follow. It’s really designed as a follow up to my previous two lessons on this topic.

Here is a lesson which is about TOK and the Universe. It ends with Poppers falsification theory. It’s all about the scientific method and how do we gather scientific knowledge. Watch this before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy7NzjCmUf0&t=325s

This is a whole lesson for TOK based on Climate Change, Natural Science and Contested Knowledge. Follow the PPT. Check the notes for the link to YouTube videos and the relevant articles. It should follow on from the Natural Science lesson I did on Space which is uploaded as well.

This is a presentation/discussion on the Universe and Theory of Knowledge. Two lessons worth, mainly discussion with some activities, mainly questions, thrown in. Video links are in the notes section. You don’t have to know much about as astronomy here, a precursory knowledge is enough.

This is just designed to help students structure a research project in Year 10. It’s designed to have students go over previous topics, then work to put some ideas together. Some of it will need adapting, the section on Chinese consent forms probably not relevant to a lot of people. Insert the PPT where the blank page is.

This is 2-3 lessons worth of activities designed to develop students knowledge of various ethical positions. Follow the PPT and complete the activities. The text on the cases of James Bulger and Baby P is designed as stimulus material for the questions as part of the last activity. Links for the videos are in the Notes sections of the PPT.

Nothing fancy. Just a structured revision guide for students. This is to be based off classwork and textbook. It does not reproduce any information found elsewhere. It should cover most things they need to know for the topic for either A-Level or IB. Probably needs a bit of editing to fit what you’ve taught yourself.

This should be enlarged to A3. Designed with IGCSE in mind but could also be used for AS level. Fine for all syllabus.

Do you teach Humanities in China? Are you tired of being blamed for the kids inability to read? Do you want your admin department off your back re: differentiation? Try my new English and Chinese Humanities Literacy Mats. For a reasonable price, prove that you are doing more English language teaching than your English department.

Pretty detailed matching task on Sociological concepts. Ideal for AS revision.

This is a basic task which should be completed near the start of any research method topic. It’s a pretty basic sort the cards out into the right box task, the actual table should be printed on A3 and the cards cut out on card. Once stuck on correctly, students should have this table on their desks whilst each individual method is being taught.

A very simple and quick task designed to help students sort through types of sources and data. Use near the start of any research methods topic. Useful for pre and post-16

A 4 page booklet on Public and Personal Documents, plus a little advantage and disadvantage sheet. Easy to follow. Takes one lesson, maybe longer.

This task is designed to be completed at the end of each method. It takes approx ten minutes, and students have to state how reliable, valid, representative and generalisable each method is on a sliding scale, then justify the answer. Could be cut down to just reliability and validity for GCSE.

A collection of resources to help teach Longitudinal Studies. This was inspired by a particularly tricky CIE AS Sociology question a few years ago. You will need access to the UP Series, which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0l541FH_W0TPrwYHx7P7M-XhNzLN4uUb

This is a basic revision sheet for Research Methods. Mainly suitable for IGCSE students, especially weaker students, but could be used elsewhere if enlarged to A3.

Very basic task about choosing a research method. Create some introductory questions yourself and get the students to figure it out. Useful as introduction, revision, MIC etc.

This is a large mix and match task covering a lot of the key terms for any Research Methods course. Very useful for revision.
