This worksheet describes the approaches and debates in psychology which are embedded in the new OCR spec. Students can learn about these through discussions or group work. The second page shows how the theories and studies in the new spec link to the different debates and approaches and has a student task that can run throughout the whole GCSE as students learn to apply the debates in evaluating studies and theories.

Students work in groups to summarise each problem of the theory. Can be adapted to do a carousel activity, display clues on the board for each weakness, students have to read each one and match them up.

Background and context for students to plan, design and carry out a survey to study the link between strictness of parent and obedience levels. Worksheet to support this task.

The starter activities link to research methodology and get students to think critically about questionnaires. Then this lesson follows on from the core study. It allows you to teach the main weaknesses of the study and ask students how they can expand on them. Students should then try out a 13 mark question or write about how the study could be improved.

New OCR psychology spec. Background information and student activities all in one power point.

Student resources to develop writing answers to the 13 mark question. Plus a workbook on the different approaches in psychology.

New OCR spec: These lessons cover the key concepts of Assimilation and Accommodation, plus Piaget's stage theory, evaluation, exam practice and Conservation of number core study and evaluation. Everything to get you started on the new OCR cognitive development unit. Plus a student workbook. The lessons can be split up further into up to 6 or more lessons and have enough information to easily convert to worksheets or student research tasks.

Print onto card. Create a competition to win one of these, pair with some sweet treats. Happy days!

Print onto card to create sets for your students. Adaptable multiple uses for these, e.g. students create definitions and examples for each key term. Turn into a game round a board for prizes.

These aim to develop student's ability to write longer answers. Not a writing frame, but should enable students to get started on the essay style question. One for Criminal behaviour, the other Obedience.

Simple but useful room displays. Useful for students to refer to. Or use as simple starter tasks.

Year 7 geography. These resources will take up 2- 3 lessons and offer a range of differentiation. They encourage group research and presentation and over 2-3 hours are designed to develop skills as well as build knowledge about the diversity of the UK. Includes all the supplementary resources that are needed to deliver the learning planned and outlined on the slides. I assigned students into groups of 3-4 using Kagan principles. I was observed by my HOD and a lead inspector on this lesson and got an outstanding!

A philosophical lesson that enables learning different beliefs about god. Can be used with year 7's as an introduction to R.E. and philosophy. Can be differentiated easily by outcome. Includes some good examples of low, mid and high tariff literacy work to be shared and discussed before students commence the main written task.

This can work for any KS3 R.E class and can be differentiated easily. You can use the information page to do a text marking task or use it as a comprehension. The learning objectives are clear and you could support less able with a few starter sentences on the written tasks. Very flexible uses, you could read as a class and emphasise literacy or use the resources for some independent learning. You could also adapt and set some tasks as homework.

A mini-unit on Africa that can work for 4-5 lessons with tasks and group activities.

Use the presentation to teach about experiments and use the activities for students to write hypotheses and test their knowledge of variables.

Used together these allow students to revisit and recap knowledge of research methods and complete an independent activity to try out writing up research. Easy to differentiate and set targets for more/less able.

An adaptable options assembly presentation used for students and parents prior to the options process.

Lessons that compliment the new GCSE OCR spec. Background information on theories and concepts, plus student activities.

Useful active learning activity to enable students to familliarise themselves with the various methods in psychological research. Appllicable for any GCSE spec.
