Yeah-thanks, so I weigh up the overall, general use of interviews as opposed to applying them to a situation in education?

Yeah basically
Predictions for 20 mark essay on education:
- Social Policy
- Marxism
Over a 5 year period, the whole specification has to be covered, so it has to be one of these. However, social policy has come up as a 12 marker before, so Marxism is more likely for the big 20 marker.

Possible definitions:
CVA (contextual value added)
Hidden curriculum
Ingration
Cream-skimming


Possible reasons for something:
EXTREMELY likely to be why boys underachieve

Hope this helps
Good luck for Thursday- any comments, I will reply ASAP
Everyone is predicting different things!! I wouldn't rely on predictions, just revise EVERYTHING. I'm not trusting predictions this time, we were lucky with unit one but doesn't mean its going to happen again! Good luck everyone

Yes
Social policy came for unit 1, so will it come up again?

I think Marxism will come up, maybe new right (hasn't come up before I don't think), how gender and underachievement of boys?

Isn't the education 20marker referring to Marxism?
And what is contextual value added and ingestion?
Predictions for research? I was thinking experiments or questionaires

Haha thanks! and when talking about positivists or interpretivists in your conclusion you basically just say which one favours the research method more and why and then why the other might disagree, if i can find my essay i can send it to you as an example.

And you have a point it is most definitely going to be policies that will come up and my prayers would be answred if we get a question in material/cultural deprivation!


Hey
Could i see your example essay? :smile:

Ah thank you! So the downside is if I don't do well on unit 2 tomorrow I could bring everything down :frown:

In the book this is a samll topic i hope it doesn't come up as more than a 6 marker.

For gender all i have is GIST helping girls and subject choice
for ethnicity i have assimilation, social inclusions and multicultural education
