Paper 1 - Education with Theory and Methods Within the Education and Methods unit students will undertake the study of Education and how it has changed. Students will also examine why some social groups such as girls and the middle class do better than others within education. As part of this unit, students will also study the research methods sociologists’ use and the strengths and limitations of such techniques. Paper 2 – Topics in Sociology As part of the Families and Households topic, students will learn about trends within family life in the UK, such as marriage and divorce rates. They will explore different theoretical perspectives on the Family such as Marxism and Feminism and will discuss the emergence of childhood. As part of Beliefs in Society, students will look at the place of religion and science within society. They will discuss whether religion prevents or causes social change and examine religion in the postmodern age, thinking about the emergence of sects and cults and the extent of secularisation. Paper 3 – Crime and Deviance with Theory and Methods This unit will explore patterns in crime, ethnicity, gender, social class as well as reducing crime, punishment and the role of the criminal justice system. Research methods will be revisited here and studies developed further.
