FOR WJEC/EDUQAS A LEVEL RELIGIOUS STUDIES AS PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION 15 Sheet Resource Here are a set of revision sheets that can be used for WJEC/EDUQAS AS Level Religious Studies Philosophy of Religion Component. The sheets are best printed in A3 in either colour or black and white. Students fill them in themselves at the end of each topic or as final revision before the exam. These have proved popular with my students as a way of having a summary of the main points/concepts for each part of the specification as a reference point. These sheets have also been used by my students to complement other revision sources and strategies. The sheets don’t cover every eventuality (in particular a lot of the A02 material) but provide a good source to refer back to throughout the course as prompts or as revision material for assessments or the final exam. These can provide a good opportunity for retrieval practice which helps support students’ short-term and long-term memory. Templates can easily be adapted to suit your individual needs and could perhaps be adapted for other exam boards too. These may also be useful to support students with blended learning or full online learning as well as part of normal classroom practice, homework or personal private study. Could also be useful for staff cover or absence. This resource has been made with material from the internet. Every effort has been made to credit material.

FOR WJEC/EDUQAS A LEVEL RELIGIOUS STUDIES AS PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION 4 Page Resource This resource is a Personal Learning Checklist (PLC) for the WJEC/EDUQAS AS Philosophy of Religion Unit. It follows the wording of the Specification. Learners self-assess their understanding of the specification content after the lesson, after personal reflection (going over notes) and before the exam by ticking the relevant emojis. There is a space for short notes which could aid revision or track their understanding/misconceptions. The idea is that this PLC is used throughout year for the learner to monitor their understanding at various points. I find this is much more useful than printing a copy of the specification to just sit in a folder. Can be used in person or can be set to be completed electronically. Resource includes the Word version which can easily be adjusted/adapted to suit your needs.

Overview, self and teacher assessment, self-reflection document. I designed it to help me to keep a tight reign on the programme of study (I have a tendency to spend too long on this topic!) and to encourage my students to take more of an active role in their progress and learning. I'm hoping it will also help to encourage an open learning environment by encouraging the sharing of misconceptions etc.
