AQA A Level Sociology: Book 2

Product Information

I’ve found Infographics extremely useful for livening up many topics in A-level sociology, and I’ve developed an interest in learning how to create my own. 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.

The book focuses on the key topics of Beliefs in Society, Crime and Deviance, and Theory and Methods to achieve the depth of coverage required for top grades. The authors are experienced chief and principal examiners, teachers and authors who have written extensively for AS and A level students and teachers. Reflecting on the extent to which Buddhist philosophy and ethics might help us lay the foundations for leading a good life and constructing the ‘good society. 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. Topics covered on ReviseSociology.comThe 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. I qualified as a teacher in 2001 and then went on to teach A-level Sociology for 16 years full time until 2018, ten of those years as Head of Department. I have also worked as an examiner on all of the modules for the AQA for a decade, so trust me, I know what you need to know.

Theory and research methods including applied methods, aka methods in context (Papers 7193/1 and 7192/3) Wall displays – Just something I enjoy doing that I thought other teachers might like. Print these out in colour on A3 and laminate to supplement yer wall display! Other interesting stuff available on ReviseSociology.com

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. Not only this, they are easy to improve and update while painting the overall structure. In short – blogs, I think, have many advantages over text books. I’m currently in the process of developing a range of interactive, educational infographics in the following areas: I believe blogging is one of the powerful forms of educational technology available for presenting the core knowledge relevant to A-level and degree level subjects in clearly structured, accessible and understandable format.
