I have written a set of unofficial exam papers for the Research Methods section of the exams. This is the 8th set.

The comprehensive mark scheme allows for easy marking and peer marking.
This paper tests:
Direction of hypotheses
Hypothesis writing
Strength & Limitation of a Volunteer Sample
Ethical issues
Dealing with ethical issues
Controlling for investigator bias
Mathematical symbol > (greater than)
Identification of direction of correlation from a table of results

This resources is a lesson for Year 12 (first year A Level/AS level) on introduction to statistical testing.
It covers number 23 on the specification: introduction to statistical testing.
The video can be used for flip learning and covers:
The purpose of statistical testing
Hypthesis testing - falsification
1 and 2 tailed hypotheses (what they are and when to use them)
The reasons for selecting the Sign Test (nominal data, test of difference, repeated measures/matched pairs design)
How to carry out an experiment to test telepathic ability and interpret the results using the sign test
Calcluated value of S
Critical values of S (critical values tables)
N Values
Comparing the calculated value of S to the critical value of S to test for signifiance
Probability
How to report significance
Apply your knowledge questions
Praticing reporting the sign test using handout RM19
The PowerPoint and handouts accompany a teaching and a revision video on YouTube (search Psychology Students for my channel.)
The PowerPoint contains everything for a full 16 mark question on the Psychodynamic Approach. The PowerPoint follows the structure for the essay.
There are some YouTube videos embedded (see notes section for links, and/or hover over the pictures) to help understanding of the Psychodynamic Approach.
It contains A01, A02 and A03 materials to cover everything for the exam and activities for students to do during class to help consolidation of learning.
I reference all my handouts in the header which is why the handouts are labelled below:
04 - PowerPoint with activities embedded for a whole lesson (double lesson, about 2 hours 40 mins)
04a - PowerPoint Activity for students to consolidate learning
04b - PowerPoint of a memory story for easy recall of the 16 mark essay
AP08 - a booklet for students to complete at home to help consolidation of learning
AP12 - a short answer test (10 minutes recommended) for the start of the next lesson.
AP12a - the answer sheet for the short answer test (best to get everyone to mark each other’s straight away to save time for the teacher.)
NB I usually have my margins on ‘narrow’ for Word documents. I presume when you download them this will be automatic, but if the formatting seems a bit off, change the margins to narrow and it should be fine.
