Edexcel A Level Psychology taster transition introduction session x3 social cognitive learning

PowerPoints for three one-hour lessons to introduce year 11 students to the topics covered within A Level Psychology and an accompanying scheme of work. The resources were created with reference to Edexcel, however the general themes will be relevant to most specifications and the PowerPoint can be edited as required.

These PowerPoints have been used both in the classroom with students working in small groups, supported by current A Level students, and virtually during lockdown with students working independently and emailing the teacher their research proposals.
