Uh, for predictions, it might be something like:
"Using the pre-release and your wider sociological knowledge, explain and evaluate the use of quantitative data/qualitative data/use of semi-structured interviews to research the importance of ethnicity within the children's playground?"
This is what I think, but the
"Using the pre-release and your wider sociological knowledge, explain and evaluate.." bit is always the same, unless the exam board decides to re-word the question differently this year

OMG I've got it as well I wasn't sure if mixed methods might come up as Holden doesn't just use one method? Also do you think the questions prior will be based on ethnic identities and the idea of socialisation,education and peer groups?

My teacher reckons it will be Using the pre-releaseand your wider sociological knowledge, explain and evaluate why a sociologistmight use quantitative data collection methods to research how childrenconstruct their ethnic identity. (52 Marks)
Plus she reckons the other questions will mirror this
8 marker - multcltaism, cultural diversity
Anyone got anything else on this?

The 16 marker could be on how one of the agents of socialisation, socialise you into an ethnic identity but I think its risky predicting the other questions.
An 8 marker is a definition. you get 4 marks for a textbook definition and 4 marks for 2 exmples.
a 16 marker has the same format but you do it twice as it will ask for 2 ways
24 marker is a mini essay like G672 33 marker you only evaluate in this question and the 52 marker.
Hope this helps

My teacher suggests that the 16-24mark is supposedly based on ethnicity whereas the 8 mark can be on culture and the formation of culture.

Yeah I think I got the same, is it ethnicity?
Uh, for predictions, it might be something like:
"Using the pre-release and your wider sociological knowledge, explain and evaluate the use of quantitative data/qualitative data/use of semi-structured interviews to research the importance of ethnicity within the children's playground?"

My teacher thinks the question wouldn't ask about one method but whether the methods Holden uses are fit for his purpose.
He hasnt told us an outline yet but could someone list order in which you would answer a 52 MQ.
Thanks

Aim of study?
Approach used?
Method (advantages/disadvantages)
Alternative method that may have benefited/more suitable?
That's all I have so far...

Is anyone just focusing their revision on ethnic identities, socialisation (all the agents) and of course methods (particularly questionnaires, observations, sampling, secondary data)?

My teacher thinks quantitative methods will come up, she's an OCR examiner and also writes some of the OCR revision books. I've done a practice question on quantitative methods and used the pervert scale to answer it. If anyone wants a copy I can send it to them but I'm not sure how many marks it would get.

Will the other 3 questions always link in some way to the pre-release? For example: In this years pre-release Holden conducts his research in school playgrounds, so a possible question would be about how education socialised individuals?

Also, Quantitative methods came up last year so I'm not sure it will again.
