the relationship between different social groups and religious/spiritual organisations and movements, beliefs and practices While a lot of the content is focused on the AQA A-level sociology specification, much of the substantive content will be relevant to other A-level specifications (just not the exam material, which is specifically for the AQA). Students studying under syllabuses should also find the revision notes and diagrams useful, but probably less so the exam advice, given that this is specific to the AQA. Such students are advised to consult their own exam boards materials for specific advice on assessment such as the format of exams and mark schemes. Switch topics regularly when revising (this is called “ interleaving” and it will help you to identify connections between different topics)

The contents are carefully mapped to the AQA A level specification, so you can be sure you are studying exactly what you need to. I quit full time teaching in 2018, which I was able to do thanks to income earned from this blog and have spent the last five years keeping the material up to date.

This month at AQA

Develop proficiency in critical analysis with up-to-date case studies and questions focused on analysis and evaluation You are competing against people who are going to put in a hell of a lot of hard work so you need to work as hard as or harder than them.

The resources have been designed for A-level sociology and cover the core themes on the AQA’s specification but are suitable for new 16-19 students studying any specification.

The very existence of this blog is an experiment in the use of educational technology. Personally I think it is ‘evolutionary’, but please feel free to disagree!The revision and exam advice is not endorsed by the AQA or any other A-level sociology exam board. The information and advice given is the author’s own interpretation and students use this at their own discretion. sources of data, including questionnaires, interviews, participant and non-participant observation, experiments, documents and official statistics Using this information should get you a decent grade, but is no guarantee of it, and it is advised that candidates read the AQA’s specification and exam advice thoroughly for themselves in preparation for their course of study and exam!

These resources contain all the core sociology knowledge students need for a through introduction sociology, illustrated with numerous up to date contemporary case studies and statistics. While the primary focus of the blog started out targeting A-level sociology students specifically, I have since expanded the scope of the content and included a range of material that should be of relevance to students studying sociology more generally, history, economics, politics, business studies and education and both A-level and degree level, focussing more recently on critical analysis of contemporary news events and summaries of the latest social research and statistical releases.

HOWEVER, I do not have an entirely rose tinted view of the use of technology in education, and one of my interests is in critically evaluating the effects of the use of educational technology on students, teachers and wider society more generally.
