Hi! I would like to know if I need to study an experiment on content analysis like Cumberbatch and Gauntlett. Would I need to know the aim, method, procedure, results and conclusion? Because it is pretty hard to write everything from the study as it is heavy in content.

no you don't need to know the studies in detail that go with the research methods in issues and debates. you just need to be able to describe their results, like you might get a question asking you to describe a research method including a relevant study for 6 marks

you don't actually need to know a 12 mark desc and eval for it though. I'd say 3 marks of desc, one strength and one weakness

That's good to know. Although I'm not really sure how to describe the experiment as the procedure of the experiment is very long and the results have many numbers that I need to remember. Sorry about this.

'Top 10 programmes watched by 10-15 year olds were watched over 3 month period. 256 programmes in totaly watched and 70% of these were soaps broadcasted before 9pm watershed. Analysis conducted included noting all scenes were drugs, alcohol and smoking were mentioned. 2,099 scenes noted.'
Results:
Scenes per hour:
Alcohol =12
Smoking = 3.4
Drug related= 1.7
Main characters as:
Drinkers = 37%
Smokers = 4%
Overall, 84% of messages on alcohol were neutral.
Hope this helps? ( Just noted the procedure and results)

What I've done is condensed it down to:

It doesn't specify in the spec how much detail you need to put into the study just "describe and evaluate" but considering it's the last unit 4 exam paper using this syllabus they can throw anything at you so it's best to be prepared

If you don't mind learning the extra content then fair enough, but bare in mind there are like 8+(?) research methods on the spec

Fair enough, each to their own no? But personally I'd say there is already a ridiculous amount of content to remember, without making more work for yourself. They will only ask about a "relevant study" in a question about a research method, so even if it was a 12 marker (the 18 marker is actually a 12 marker too), it would be describe and evaluate for a research method (and maybe some compare which is in with the evaluation), so the description of the research method in with the "relevant study" could only possible be worth 3 marks, which is arguably 3 marks for each, or maximum 4 marks for the "relevant study", of which 2 marks must be for description and 2 for evaluation.

I don't know if you've been told by your teacher but the majority of candidates struggle with Unit 4 because if the time limit, you get an hour per 45-mark-part, so with issues and debates you need to be really really concise
