<p>Everything you need to teach Research Methods as a stand alone topic.<br />
Resources include all Research Methods topics for Year 1 and include loads of interactive activities and mini-practicals.<br />
Bundle also includes revision activities for Year 2, as well as practicals for students to put everything they have learned into practice and apply statistical testing.</p>
<p>A comprehensive pack of resources to successfully teach ‘ethical issues’ as part of research methods.</p>
<p>I teach ethical issues first to my new year 12 students - as such this resource is designed to both teach content but also act as an icebreaker and opportunity to discuss a range of research (to help students understand what psychology is all about).</p>
<p>If you do not start with research methods - the resources and lesson plan can be adapted easily and delivered in a shorter time period.</p>
<p>I’ve developed this resource over a few years and it is always a hit with students and I find it to be a really effective way to start the course.</p>
<p>**The following is included in this resource: **</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Lesson plan - outline of how and when I use the activities</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>PowerPoint 1 - for the first lesson - including a starter question to initiate some discussion.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Ethic card task and student handout: I use this as an icebreaker but can also be used later on in the course to build in discussion and an understanding of ethics. Activity includes 12 studies - students only have 1 study each - the walk around the room and have to find all 12 studies (by talking to each other) and complete a worksheet alongside where they have to make 2 decisions: is this study ‘ethical/unethical’ and is this study ‘real/fake’ (they are actually all real studies and it leads to some great discussion about the range of research across psychology.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Paired work task - ethics cards - focused questions that students have to research and answer and present back to the class.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Link to my Kahoot quiz with questions based on the lesson materials</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>PowerPoint 2: overview of the ethical issues</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Notes on what ethical issues are and the role of the British Psychological Society’s code of ethics.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Cut and stick activity - creates all the notes needed on each ethical issue, including how ‘to deal with them’. Answers included!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Group work activity - discussion scenarios (link to exam style questions - without them realising until after). Feedback provided on the PowerPoint.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Break down of all the problems a researcher may face when studying a school / the education system.</p>
<p>Lots of activities to engage students and get them to consider the context.</p>
<p>Exam practice to get the students thinking about how to link PET factors to context.</p>
<p>Worksheet to go with the PowerPoint.</p>
<p>Designed for AQA but could be used for other boards. This is a booklet of activities the students work through for revision on research methods. I have included answers for the statistics section of the booklet.</p>
<p>Includes:<br />
Hypotheses<br />
Variables<br />
Ethics<br />
Sampling methods<br />
Research methods<br />
Validity<br />
Reliability<br />
Statistics<br />
Data<br />
Distributions<br />
Features of Science</p>
<p>I have included a PDF version and a word version. The word version doesn’t always keep all its formatting when it is opened on different laptops so I would stick with the pdf version.</p>
<p>This was designed to work with a teacher presentation that can be found here:<br />
<a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/revision-for-research-methods-teacher-presentation-aqa-psychology-could-be-used-for-other-boards-11623128">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/revision-for-research-methods-teacher-presentation-aqa-psychology-could-be-used-for-other-boards-11623128</a></p>
<p>Lesson on the strengths and weaknesses of secondary sources e.g. official statistics, documents etc.</p>
<p>Activities embedded to engage students.</p>
<p>Worksheet included to go along with powerpoint.</p>
<p>Exam focus / question also embedded.</p>
