Research Methods flow chart/overview activity

This resource includes a flow chart poster in A3, as well as an acitivity that includes both an easy and hard level, or AS and A2 level worksheet task.

The activity document contains an instruction sheet for easy and hard as well as a blank flowchart for both difficulties.

The idea is to fit all the terms into the flowchart to complete the structure of a psychological study:

1. Great as an introduction for AS - the sections are colour coded and match up with future resources, this enables sectioning of the materials and easier delivery and understanding. This can be delivered as a starter to get students thinking or at the end of delivery to check learning and understanding.
2. Great as an overview for A2 after delivery of second year content, at this stage they should be able to complete the flowchart with ease.

Included is a blank A3 resource with cards for each of the elements that students can use in a more hands on way in groups, arranging the cards on the flowchart where they think they should go - there is an easy version with coloured cards and a hard version with boxes without colour. The different versions will stretch and challenge and can be used to cater to different levels of ability and learning.

More resources will be added on research methods, these will be colour coded to the specific areas on the flowchart.
