This is a student guidance booklet for undertaking an independent RESEARCH PROJECT into SOCIAL INEQUALITY for the OCR A Level Sociology (new specification) topic of RESEARCH METHODS & SOCIAL INEQUALITY.
It is designed to be given to students after having taught research methods and social inequality content, they can then undertake their own mini-research project to fully apply their understanding of methods in the context of social inequality. The student booklet outlines the steps they should take and points to consider for using a secondary data, questionnaires and interviews, and the analysis, write-up, presentation and evaluation of their own project.
Student could pick their own topic, I have a list of key areas that I tend to give to the students, for example age and poverty, gender and employment, ethnicity and education and so on, which guides them to a more narrowed down focus. Students can work in pairs and present their findings to the class which also adds to the overall class knowledge and understanding of specific inequalities.
Included in this pack:
Student/Staff booklet
*This could be easily adapted to meet the requirements of AQA Sociology for students to research an education topic for their methods in context skills.
*You could also adapt this for practicals in Psychology as A Level or GCSE, you would need to change a couple of the evaluation guidance points to cover GRAVEDS for Psychology, and if used for Pearson Edexcel A Level, then it’d need changes to specific methods as per the requirements of the specification for each topic; for example questionnaires for Social, experiments for Cognitive etc.

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 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.

**OCR Sociology A Level
Exam Revision Questions **
Set of example questions students can use for targeted revision.
The questions include a breakdown of question type and AO spread for each section of the exam paper.
These are designed for students to engage in targeted revision in order to practice the exam style questions. You could also use them to build assessments in the run up to the exams.
Please note, these are not OCR questions, these are questions I have devised that follow the exam style of questioning, but also enable students to target a range of possibilities in question wording for exam practice.
There are a range of questions for:
Paper 1 Section A (Socialisation, Culture, Identity)
Paper 1 Section B (Youth Subculture)
Paper 2 Section B (Social Inequality)
Paper 3 Section A (Globalisation and Digital Media)
Paper 3 Section B (Crime and Deviance)
I have not included Paper 2 Section A Research Methods in Context as these are based on source materials, and I tend to use studies I have used from across the social inequality topic to tackle those questions and extend understanding, so I don’t have questions for that section in this pack.
