NOTICE - This is a Lesson Unit For The Old - Chapter 3 - AS Sociology - There Is A Newer Version For Sale - This Version Offers A More In-Depth Perspective. I also feel that in terms of cohesiveness this version is better organized and easier to follow.

I teach AICE/Cambridge Sociology - this follows chapter 3 of Methods of Research. I have my students take Cornell Notes for this PPT. I also have a Cornell Notes Template available for free to download. These materials contain a 139 slide PowerPoint Presentation, Key Terms, Key Terms Quiz and Answer Key, Individual Activities/Worksheets, Chapter Test (2 Forms), Chapter Test Answer Keys, and a Chapter Test Answer Booklet

The PPT covers the items listed below. It follows the AICE/Cambridge Coursebook.

** The difference between primary and secondary data and between quantitative and qualitative data

** The range of different research methods and sources of data used by sociologists and an assessment of their strengths and limitations

** The stages of research design: deciding on research strategy; formulating research problems and hypotheses; sampling and pilot studies; conducting the research; interpreting the results and reporting the findings.
