The next video is on Developmental Psychology - Incl. information on Learning Theory & Bowlby's Thoery, Privation, Disruption of Attachment, Day Care. Minus the first couple of minutes (as it took the girls a while to settle!) the video is good and will help you alongside your revision.

All this leaves for you to do now is to revise Reseach Methods, collating all the information we gathered in class via notes / powerpoints and texts.

Good Luck and see you all in the New Year - Not forgetting we will be starting Unit 2: Social Psychology.

Good luck and work hard revising please.

Work for Friday 2nd December - 12.4 (P2)

Continue working your way through the PowerPoints - Remember to do as we do in all lessons, and use the textbooks in order to develop understanding on the topic areas. Spend some of this lesson completing the Hypotheses and Variables PowerPoint (30mins Max).

Next, use the Handout on designing your own experiment (anything you do not understand on the handout research for yourself). You can use the experiment example on the handout first. Then attempt an area of interest to yourself. Be creative! Use sugar paper to present your idea. You may work in pairs (not 3s or 4s) - Make sure the work you produce is of a good standard!

For Monday I would like the PowerPoint on Hyp & Vari completed with extra notes and I would like to see your experiment ideas. See you Monday! Keep up the hard work!

Work for Friday 2nd December - 12.5 (P1)

Having completed the PowerPoint on Hypotheses and Variables, I would like you to move on to Research Designs and Implementation. You will need to refer to textbooks in order to gather as much information on areas you are unsure of. Don't rush through the PP, take your time in order to grasp the concept and develop understanding of the topic area.

For Monday just ensure all your notes are upto date with todays lesson and that you can show me your work from tuesdays lesson.

Keep up the hard work and see you all monday!

Research Methods - Explained! (Unit 1)

This will be a challenging area of Psychology. We will be looking into experiments and analysing how they form evidence for us to study.
In the first couple of lessons we will be looking at the following:

* Independent / Dependent and Extraneous Variables
* Laboratory / Field and Natural Experiments
* Non - Experimental Techniques - OBSERVATIONS / CASE STUDIES (HM)
* Sampling Methods - Self Report Techniques incl. Interviews / Questionnaires
* Structured and Unstructured questions - what do avoid when writing questions!
* Qualitative and Quantitative data
* Context Analysis
* Hypothesis & Variables

As we progress through this part of the unit we will also cover Ethical Issues. These arise in ALL experiments, so please be aware of them. 

The remainder of this term leading up to the Christmas break is going to be extremely busy. I have high expectations of ALL of you. 

Also, be aware, that the first week back after Christmas YOU WILL HAVE A MOCK EXAM ON UNIT 1 - COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY, DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY & RESEARCH METHODS. This will be 1hr and 30 minutes long. You must ensure you are prepared and revise well.
