A lesson to outline and then evaluate 2 explanations of obedience. A number of activities are included starting with a discussion based around the Nuremberg trials. This is then followed up with some teacher input and then an associated cloze activity for students. Students then complete an application style exam question (suggested answers attached). Finally there is an evaluation task where students need to use prompts to complete 'effective evaluation'. Finally students consolidate their knowledge with 'dominos' to review key terms for both the outline and evaluation of the theories. A suggested homework to review the My Lai Massacre is also included.

This lesson should take place after learning all four definitions (failure to function adequately, deviation from ideal mental health, statistical infrequency and deviation from social norms). It is designed to help students consolidate/review their knowledge of all four definitions. The lesson begins with a matching task with requires students to identify whether the evaluation points are strengths or weaknesses and more importantly which definition of abnormality they relate to. The students are required to complete an application task which requires them to read scenarios and identify which definition of abnormality would deem the behaviour abnormal and why. There are then two application style exam questions with answers (for self-assessment). Finally students one of two activities to review all definitions. ‘Numbered heads together’: (groups of 4 and ask them to number themselves 1-4. Put one of the questions on the powerpoint up and give students 1 minute to dicuss. Finally, select a number at random and one person in each group must offer some feedback. Quiz Quiz Trade: These are pre-prepared flashcards (see attached) with a question and answer. The aim is to have students work in pairs/groups to ask questions and answer questions. When they are the ‘question master’ their role is to check the respondents answer and to prompt for more information when needed.

This is a revision lesson. It is designed to help students to calculate and report the findings of the sign test as well as define and answer questions relating to type I and type 2 errors. This is a fully resourced lesson with both a presentation and student handout. The lesson starts with definitions of key terms e.g. statistical testing and probability. The powerpoint then provides a step-by-step demonstration of how to calculate the sign test and how to report the findings of the statistical test. Then students are given 2 examples of studies which require them to calculate the sign test and report their findings. An extension task is provided which requires students to report the findings of 3 other studies using the sign test. Finally students are given a definition of a type 1 and type 2 error, with 3 exam-style questions to complete(suggested answers in the ‘notes’ box on the powerpoint.

A fully resourced lesson covering 2 definitions of abnormality. The starter requires students to organise the card sort into behaviours/characteristics that are abnormal or normal with a justification. Then the powerpoint outlines the key aspects of each of these definitions allowing students.Students then organise the behaviours again but to include some justification using the content which they have learned. A short application task requires students to apply their knowledge of the two definitions (from page 135 of the green hair girl book). The final task helps students to evaluate the two definitions. This starts with two discussion tasks in which students consider the strengths and weaknesses of each definition and then they are provided with a framework (evaluate-student handout) to help complete this using the powerpoint.

A fully resourced lesson to outline and evaluate two definitions of abnormality (Failure to Function Adequately, and Deviation from Ideal Mental Health) The lesson starts with a ‘teacher outline’ of Failure to Function Adequately. Students then consolidate and apply their understanding of the definition through watching the video of Denise (Hoarder.mp4). Then there is a short student task and teacher outline for ‘Deviation from Ideal Mental Health’. Students then consolidate their understanding by transforming the content into pictures and symbols (using student handout AO1). To help students evaluate the definition there are some discussion prompts on the powerpoint followed by an independent matching task. As a plenary and/or homework task students are asked to review ‘The Naked Rambler’ and apply their knowledge of these two definitions (and potentially others) to this situation

A student-centered lesson provided for revision of ‘Asch & Milgram Variations’. Students were given a choice of 5 activities to complete (with the idea being they would complete at least 2 of these. The ‘powerpoint’ provided outlines these options e.g. matching task, exam questions, QQT, independent revision etc. Revision Notes: These are the key aspects of the studies & variations which students could use to either assist with their completion of the matching task or to help with their independent revision if required Matching Task (Matching Task Answers): This is a card sort activity to help students to review their understanding of the key studies and variations (AO1). Students working in pairs are provided with the ‘name’ of the study/variation ‘description/procedure’ and ‘finding’ and have to match these three aspects. The answers are provided in a separate document (see attached) and on the powerpoint to allow the class to self/peer assess if needed. Quiz Quiz Trade (Flashcards): These are flashcards provided for students to help students test each other on key aspects of the studies and variations (AO1 and AO3) A small selection of mostly short answer questions related to each of the topics. These begin with simpler ‘knowledge’ based questions and end with more application style questions. There are mark schemes attached which could be used for self/peer/teacher assessment.

This is a fully resourced revision lesson to help students outline and evaluate experimental design and sampling techniques. This is predominately a student led lesson with a range of activities such as think-pair-share, matching task, exam questions, and quiz quiz trade.

A student-centered lesson provided for revision of ‘working memory model’ Question and Answers ’ Loop’: This helps students to review the key aspects of the WMM (AO1).The answers provided (on page 2 of the document) were printed, cut stuck up around the room. Students were then given the questions and had to find the relevant answers. There is answer sheet provided. Revision Map: This helps students to review key aspects of WMM (AO1/AO3) requiring students to answer a series of short-answer questions to review the model. There are some suggested answers written in brief. They could then be asked to write an essay (or create an essay plan) for a 16 mark question “Dicuss research into Working Memory Model” Quiz Quiz Trade (Flashcards): These are flashcards provided for students to help students test each other on key aspects of the theory Cloze Activity: A ‘model’ essay which has key terms missing to help students to engage with specialist vocabulary within WMM and help consolidate their understanding.
