i have a question, the advanced topic list said consensus, conflict, structural and social action theories for theory and method. is that just for paper 3 or for paper 1 too? im so confused right now


paper 3
the advanced notice is only for 20/30 markers

marxism wont come up paper 1 as it will be in paper 3 as its a conflict theory


It is quite unlikely marxism will come up in paper 3 as it came up in june 2019. There is also feminism, consensus, structural and action theories on the advanced info, literally any one of those could come up in paper 3. It is still possible for marxism to come up as a 10 marker in paper 1 as there will a 10 marker at the end that could either be theory or methods. They haven't provided info for theory/method and method in context for paper 1 so it's hard to tell but i suggest looking at the past questions that have recently come up.

anyone know if there is a possibility if the 30 marker could be asked on privatisation ALONE? or would it be asked alongside marketisation? :wink:

my teahcer said they can do that its possible

no it didnt the question for paper 1 was " Outline and explain two arguments against the positivist view that sociology can be
scientific"

Which is a Theories question. Paper 3 10marker was on policies which is also a theories question
wait would you be able to link equailty policies like GIST and WISE or EMAs as a marketisation policy?

no its a debate question. theories are marxism, funct, feminism, modernists etc

also its theory and method. not theory alone
You can use them as criticisms if the question asks about educational policies in general but GIST/WISE and EMAs are not marketisation policies and you can't link them as one.

there is either that or methods - interviews/questionnaires

there could be one theory question perhaps
the 20 marker on paper 3 is literally theories - conflict/consens/structural/action
guys i'm so stressed about this i haven't been taught **** for paper 1. i only found out the other day that it's more than methods in context and is actually covers all of theory and methods which i hadn't learned. absolutely ******** myself and basically teaching myself the whole paper this weekend. i'm so ****ed. anyone else?
