policies is very likely to come up, and maybe a perspective on education as there was not on one unit 1. If it is as easy as unit 1 i will be happy, i hope reasons for the underachievement of boys is the 12 marker.

Lab experiments are done artificially an the researcher has full control of the variables and field experiments are in genuine social contexts but still involves a researcher.

Theoretical issues are if the test is reliable, who uses it and why so either positivists or interpretivists, if it is valid and if the research represents the target population or study.
Ethical issues are whether it is dangerous, illegal if it has after effects or moral effects.
Practical issues are cost, time, size and skill of research team, recording and also if there is any funding.

Re-sitting this exam tomorrow to attempt to get an A overall, crazy scared for it since I only started research methods a few days ago :s-smilie:

I have a feeling ethnicity will come up and marketisation/social policies which isn't bad. Would much prefer gender :frown:

Yeah sorry I meant methods in context I find those so tricky! Also, the research methods are you gonna learn the advantages and disadvantages of each method parrot fashion like word by word? Cos I'm confused between ethnographic and triangulation...don't they both use lots of methods?

ethnographic is: study of a setting
triangulation
&
methodological plursim

use multiple methods.

research methods is pretty simple. i can give you a essay examplee

I'm thinking lab experiments might creep up in MIC too since that hasn't been around for years. Field exp was 2012. Lab will be alright though, pretty easy to make up even if you can't remember haha.
