Dear Psychology Students,
This unit is aimed at students in both Year 11 and Year 12. It covers the essentials of psychology research methods through a number of handouts and interactive online activities. There are also some highly recommended links and videos listed below.
At the bottom of this page, you will also discover some downloadable materials, including a class presentation, an accompanying handout and finally a transition booklet that you can print out and work through. This booklet contains many graduated exercises, tasks and explanations that will help prepare you for the research component of the Year 12 course. You will also find a glossary of key terms on the last two pages.
I hope that the activities and materials on this blog page will help you to grasp the complexities of this challenging topic.
Kind regards,
Roslyn Green
