To people doing the new spec - do you think there's a possibility they'll go easier on us during marking due to this being a new specification so resources such as past papers are limited at best? :-/

Just remember to link the topic, group and method through out, don't talk about the method separately and then the topic and then the group, but keep making links through out e.g Parents who are middle class are more likely to be pro-school, so will have an interest in their child's achievement so they are more likely than working class to participate in *method, e.g completing a questionnaire*. This means that the sample may be unrepresentative as it will mainly be made up of mainly middle class parents, blah blah blah

Dunno if you're gonna read this is time (I hope you do!), but here it is:
Remember PERVERT
Practical (time, cost, etc.)
Ethical (consent, deception, vulnerable groups)
Representative (sample size, who is the sample made of, where is the research being done)
Validity (how in depth are the answers? can you find the 'root cause'?)
Examples (if it's MiC, just relate it back to the question)
Reliability (would you get the same kind of result if you repeated the research?)
Theoretical (i.e. Positivist or Interpretivist, and why they would like/dislike)

Good luck everyone! :h:

Good luck all

Last question was on group interviews so I just discussed the advantages and disadvantages.

The 4m question was on marketisation policies so I wrote about the funding formula.
