Psychology GCSE

This course helps students to learn to question and discuss psychological issues that may affect their own lives and the direction of society. Critical analysis of theories and studies help students to consider behaviour from an 

individual and global perspective and consequently the role of psychology in everyday life. Lessons will involve discussions, individual and student group presentations, teacher led sessions and practical research activities.  There is a lot of reading and note taking involved, with new terminology and a large number of research studies.  

Areas of study include:

• Unit 1 You will study Psychological problems, Criminal Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Research Methods (designing your own investigation).

• Unit 2 You will study Social Influence, Sleep and Dreaming, Memory and Research Methods.
