This is the all new Psychology MySpace for psychology students everywhere, but especially the fantastic psychologists at Maghull High School.
What We Do:
OCR A Level Psychology
This means that for the first year (AS level), we look at 20 studies selected from the following psychological approaches:
Cognitive
Developmental
Physiological
Social
Individual Differences
Then in the second year (A2 Level), we cover two of the six areas of applied psychology listed below:
Education
Health
Organisations
Environment
Sport
Crime
This year (2006-7) we have been studying Crime and Health.
Primary Research
AS Level
During AS Level, we conduct four small pieces of research that develop our understanding of different methods of collecting and analysing data. These use questionnaires, observational methods and statistical tests.
There is an exam at the end of the year that asks questions about the four pieces of research.
A2 Level
A2 Level involves a larger scale study, which is 50% of the coursework for this level, and can use any methods to investigate any aspect of psychology.
