Good data visualisations are powerfully efficient educational tools: they are the most engaging way of presenting a lot of quantitative information in a condensed form and I’ve found them especially useful in A-level sociology for livening up topics such as ‘gender and subject choice’ and ‘family and household diversity’. 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. And you need to think about what hard work really is. the relationship between positivism, interpretivism and sociological methods; the nature of ‘social facts’ ReviseSociology.com provides free revision resources for A-level sociology students, focussing on revision notes, revision mind maps and diagrams, and model answers for all types of exam questions written for the AQA A-level sociology specification (2015 onwards).The attractive, full-colour design and thought-provoking photos stimulate students' interest and engagement.
