Introduction to Psychology (Edexcel) - Week 1, 4 lessons

A collection of 4 lessons that introduce the main themes we will study throughout the course.
The first lesson focuses on new vocabulary and approaches in psychology (social, cognitive, learning, biological or psychodynamic approaches).
The second lesson introduces the conventions of report writing. Students look at some psychology research papers to observe the correct format.
The third lesson focuses on issues and debates in psychology (ethical, gender, cultural, reductionism, nature/nurture)
The fourth lesson looks at credibility, validity, reliability,
generalisability, objectivity/subjectivity of theory and research.

I have included notes, videos and pair work activities in the lesson.
