Most people when they hear the word ‘psychology’ think of mental disorders and crazy abnormal behaviour. BUT – psychologists are not just interested in such behavioural extremes; many are interested in investigating very ordinary, everyday behaviour such as memory, aggression, thinking, obeying others and sleeping, to name just a few research areas. So, psychology is ‘the scientific study of human behaviour and experience’. It aims to describe and explain behaviour which, in turn, allows us to predict and modify behaviour. It is a FANTASTIC subject, because it is about you, me and everyone around us and it tries to explain why we do the things we do!
Entry requirements for each subject will be detailed accordingly as a guideline (usually a grade 6 in the subject studied).
In May and June of Year 2 students will sit three papers, each 2 hours in length, 96 marks and worth 33.3% of the final A level grade. The exams will measure how students have achieved the following assessment objectives. • AO1: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures. • AO2: Apply knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures: o in a theoretical context o in a practical context o when handling qualitative data o when handling quantitative data. • AO3: Analyse, interpret and evaluate scientific information, ideas and evidence, including in relation to issues, to: o make judgements and reach conclusions o develop and refine practical design and procedures.
