Who? Why? When? Where?
If you've ever looked for answers Sociology is the subject for you! Studying GCSE Sociology helps you to gain a critical understanding and awareness of the complicated society we live in. During this two year course you will ‘become sociologists'! This will involve you:
Carrying out your own research using interviews, observations and questionnaires.
Analysing and interpreting information.
Evaluating information and statistical data.
You will look in depth at the following areas:
- The Family
- Education
- Work
- Social Stratification
- Gender
- Poverty and the Welfare state
- Power and control
- Crime and deviance
- Migration and Movement
In year 11 you will produce an extended piece of coursework which is worth 20% of your overall mark (the examination is worth the remaining 80%). Coursework titles involve you looking in depth at the following and other areas:
- Does the media stereotype people?
- Why does poverty still exist today?
- The relationship between social class and educational attainment.
