The course begins with students learning about key Sociological theories, this brief introduction provides a foundation of knowledge that they will build upon during each unit of work that is studied. The first main unit of work focuses on families and households. They look at the structure and evolution of families, what different groups of Sociologists have to say about the position of families within society. The second unit of the course is the unit of education. This is something that all students can relate with as they have spent more than 10 years studying within the education system we are examining. Following this, students then begin to study what research methods are used by Sociologists. These methods are also linked to educational contexts and students must learn the strengths and limitations of using particular research methods for specific investigations. In the Summer term we start Yr2 content - Beliefs in Society.
