This fully editable lesson is designed for the AQA A-Level Specification (June 2019), focusing on Milgram’s Research into Obedience (1963). This lesson explores the procedures, findings, and ethical considerations of Milgram’s study, offering critical insights into why individuals obey authority figures even when asked to perform morally questionable actions.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Provides detailed explanations of Milgram’s aim, procedure, and findings, including the famous “shock experiment” and its implications for understanding obedience to authority.
Interactive Activities: Includes a “Do Now” task to engage students in thinking about why people obey authority figures, as well as “Think-Pair-Share” discussions on the ethical issues and validity of Milgram’s research.
Assessment Materials: Offers practice exam questions such as evaluating the methodology of Milgram’s study and discussing the ethical issues involved. Model answers and structured evaluation worksheets are included to support students’ exam preparation.
Ethical and Methodological Evaluation: Students are guided to critically evaluate Milgram’s study, focusing on both its methodological strengths (such as control and replicability) and its ethical challenges (such as deception and psychological harm). Discussion extends to modern ethical standards and how they emerged partly as a result of Milgram’s research.
This resource is perfect for both classroom teaching and independent study, allowing students to deeply explore the complexities of obedience, authority, and the ethical responsibilities of psychological research.
