This is a student guidance booklet for undertaking an independent RESEARCH PROJECT into SOCIAL INEQUALITY for the OCR A Level Sociology (new specification) topic of RESEARCH METHODS & SOCIAL INEQUALITY.
It is designed to be given to students after having taught research methods and social inequality content, they can then undertake their own mini-research project to fully apply their understanding of methods in the context of social inequality. The student booklet outlines the steps they should take and points to consider for using a secondary data, questionnaires and interviews, and the analysis, write-up, presentation and evaluation of their own project.
Student could pick their own topic, I have a list of key areas that I tend to give to the students, for example age and poverty, gender and employment, ethnicity and education and so on, which guides them to a more narrowed down focus. Students can work in pairs and present their findings to the class which also adds to the overall class knowledge and understanding of specific inequalities.
Included in this pack:
Student/Staff booklet
*This could be easily adapted to meet the requirements of AQA Sociology for students to research an education topic for their methods in context skills.
*You could also adapt this for practicals in Psychology as A Level or GCSE, you would need to change a couple of the evaluation guidance points to cover GRAVEDS for Psychology, and if used for Pearson Edexcel A Level, then it’d need changes to specific methods as per the requirements of the specification for each topic; for example questionnaires for Social, experiments for Cognitive etc.
