Re: Sociology - AQA Unit 2 - Education and Research Methods Jan 2011I've just started it but I'm taking the exam in May.. both Unit 1 and Unit 2. I'm very scared because I need A's and I'm doing this through distance learning so it's hard
I don't know how I'm going to do it.

Re: Sociology - AQA Unit 2 - Education and Research Methods Jan 2011Yep I'm doing it on Tuesday, got a B in it last year but I'm resitting in attempt to get an A. I'm also just starting rev(Original post by teaandcoffee)
Anyone doing this next tuesday? How are you finding it? I'm just starting revision today
, I do Psychology so to an extent I already have knowledge on research methods but it's applying them to Sociology and then of course Psychology teaches me nothing on education specifically. My problem is though I have poor quality notes from lessons and some of them seem to have gone missing, anyone know any good websites for sociology revision for this module?
thanks -

Re: Sociology - AQA Unit 2 - Education and Research Methods Jan 2011Hey, I'm taking it on Tues, and I've been teaching myself - I started out distance learning with ICS but they turned out to be the stupidest people known to man, so I demanded my money back and have since been doing it all on my lonesome! I was after A's but I don't think I'm going to get them, it's so hard to do it on your own!(Original post by akemikat)

Re: Sociology - AQA Unit 2 - Education and Research Methods Jan 2011Yeah, i'm also taking it on Tuesday.. Predictions for the 20 mark essay for just 'education' is most likely marxism and class difference in achievement. Does anyone know how to set out an essay structure?

Re: Sociology - AQA Unit 2 - Education and Research Methods Jan 2011For this type of question you would definatly need to put in the marxist view of education, for example how it reproduces and legitimises existing social inequalties.(Original post by mrsay)

You would neet to put in neo marxist Althussers theory on how education brainwashes future workers with the values and skill needed to be good workers.
You would also need to definatly put stuff about the hidden curriculum and correspondece principle ( put forward by Bowles and Gintis).
These factors, from the marxist perspective, lead to differences in achievement between working class and middle class students.
Hope this helps I feel scared about the method question!

Re: Sociology - AQA Unit 2 - Education and Research Methods Jan 2011Education - last time social policies and class came up so DEFINITELY revise ethnicity and gender.
Methods - last time questionnaires and PET came up so DEFINITELY revise interviews/PO/secondary data.
Remember to make sure to specificially link the METHOD to the SPECIFIC TOPIC for the M in C question. -

When you say "last time" do you mean the Summer 2010 exam or the January 2010 exam. I know it might sound stupid, but trust me, I've read on other places, people refering to "last time" as Last January

Re: Sociology - AQA Unit 2 - Education and Research Methods Jan 2011Ethnicity and gender came up in tha january 2009 paper. From 2009 and 2010 all education questions have been asked EXCEPT marxism education, class differences internal factors and external factors. So i would say revise them three essay questions thoroughly. As for the methods, my class hada feeling about experiments as it was only asked in the january 2009 paper and perhaps questionnaires, PO and interviews
, I do Psychology so to an extent I already have knowledge on research methods but it's applying them to Sociology and then of course Psychology teaches me nothing on education specifically.
