Description
Google Preview: ''This is overall a well presented, student friendly psychology text. It offers a fresh and refreshing insight into AS Psychology. Along with familiar favourites I enjoyed reading the many new studies not usually featured in AS Psychology textbooks. I particularly liked the `Take a Closer Look` feature of the `Study in Focus` section as this encourages the skills needed for effective evaluation. All psychology departments should have access to this book, whether they use `AQA` `A` or not.''- Claire Barker, Head of Psychology, Wells Cathedral School''This book is exactly what it claims to be: a student's handbook which should also have a wide appeal to overworked, hard pressed teaching staff. It covers the new specification fully and includes both well established Key Studies, such as Holmes and Rahe and the Stanford Prison study (how we love them !) and also includes a good deal of pertinent recent research material, up to and including 2007. The amount of good new material is unusual in an AS text and the authors should be commended for taking their readers (staff and students) seriously and not just trotting out the usual suspects. As an experienced teacher I would recommend it as the class text because it is so thorough and consistently draws the student back to the examination requirements without becoming boring. I loved the Ask the Examiner sections!This text covers the whole specification in colour-coded, clear and concise chapters. The philosophy behind this book is to facilitate a smooth transition between the current and the new specifications. The authors have looked closely at the way the new A level is designed, and have developed this text to ensure that the material you are familiar with, and for which you have lessons and resources, can be worked into the new design. Some changes in the specification are subtle, some are more obvious, but, throughout the book, the authors make it clear how the specification should be addressed. Electronic resources will also be available to enhance your provision.Short-listed in the Education Resources Awards, Best Secondary Resource or Equipment - non ICT, U.K. 2009.; Google Preview content
