Succeed at A Level Sociology Book One Including AS Level: The Complete Revision Guide

Product Information

Our new editions of the UK’s number one best-selling introductions to sociology for AS and A level students are fully revised and updated to fit the new AQA AS and A level specifications perfectly. Written by our outstanding, experienced author team, they provide everything students need for success at AS and A level sociology. 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. You might also like these teaching resources for the sociology of education. They are specifically designed for A-level sociology students and consist of several versions of key concepts definitions (80 concepts in total), gapped summary grids with answers covering the entire sociology of education specification and 7 analysis activities. 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!

The book focuses on the key topics of Families and Households, Education, Methods in Context and Research Methods to achieve the depth of coverage required for top grades. 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.All of the first year A-level content is also relevant to the AS level in sociology, and there are some posts dedicated to the AS exams.

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. The problem I’ve found is that however pretty they are, infographics are only as good as the data used in their construction, and I’ve found that the infographics available rarely have all of the information I need when teaching a particular topic. It follows that I’ve developed an interest in producing data visualisations, which in turn has taken me down the route of learning more about the strengths and limitations of quantitative data and different techniques of data analysis.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.com Exploring and raising awareness of alternative lifestyles and networks which offer more self-fulfilling and sustainable ways of being.
