sociology 12 markers - evaluate
Watch
Announcements
How do you evaluate your 12 markers? How do you address the 'how far...'? I always do it, and have gotten 12/12 recently on the 12 markers (always worry that the teacher is too lenient) but what do you all say to evaluate the statement?

I always say, :
In conclusion X sociologists will agree with this argument to a large/small extent because of reason A and B (summarise what you said in your supporting paragraphs) then compare it to the opposing side of the argument so: whereas X sociologists disagree to a large/small extent because their beliefs and values (Reason C and D) are strongly against the argument. Link back to the question and make sure you refer to how far sociologists agree or disagree. (large/small extent)
Are you sitting the sociology exam tomorrow?

I'm aiming for an A* too but i'm worried i might lose out by a few marks.
Yeah i hate those questions where you can't really argue from a specific type of sociologists point of view but for the supporting agrgument i would talk about:
- The Butler Education act which offers every student a state education regardless of their social class.
- The introduction of Pupil premium and EMA which has helped to encourage students to stay in further education aswell as helping pupils from materially deprived background who have fewer life chances than the upper class.
- Vocational education has also helped students to learn "more hands on" subjects if they are academically less able.
- For the opposing argument i would talk about Marxists and how they believe that schools exist to reproduce class inequality between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
- Some Sociologists would disagree as educational opportunities for the disadvantaged are not effective as cultural capital still exists in the U.K. which benefits the middle class as the norms and values of the middle class are the ones taught in school so disadvantaged students are immediately at a disadvantage for educational opportunities.
This is a very hard question though, hopefully the other 12 mark option for education is better suited to us!!

How would you answer this question in the studying society section. They usually link to context when they ask you something like "Describe one way in which sociological research has helped government and schools to reduce the number of students being bullied"
It's a 4 mark question but i just don't understand what they mean by sociological research. Is it the same as research methods?

Hopefully!! For some reason I have a gut feeling that one of the four markers will be on triangulation - I've got some weird hunches about the questions this year!

Using more than one research method to check the accuracy of data right?

Thank God I'm not the only one doing it on here. Hopefully we all should be fine because most of the paper should be logic except the 12 markers which you need to know the content. I'm aiming for an A*, I'm guessing you are too? How are you finding it so far?

I'm aiming for A*, but since I've done it out of school as an extra it could go VERY wrong! But hopefully not....

I'm not sure about that one, do you have any idea? I'd probably say how primary/secondary and sampling methods are being used to reduce the number of students.

Problem with this question is, I don't know if they've actually done that. I don't have a policy I could refer to, so would kinda just make something up.....

Triangulation?
Triangulation?
I don't know why, but since I saw it in the textbook I've just had a hunch.

However in tomorrow's exam i highly doubt the context will be about bullying
it can be about anything but just remember to try and link it to the context and explain how sociological research can help.
