A-level sociology of education summary grids

Last Updated on January 15, 2019 by Karl Thompson

I’ve been designing some sociology of education summary grids to try and summarise the AQA’s A-level sociology of education specification as briefly as possible. I’ve managed to narrow it down to 7 grids in total covering…..

• Perspectives on education (Functionalism etc)
• In-school processes (labelling etc.)
• social class and differential achievement
• gender: achievement and subject choice
• Ethnicity
• Policies
• Globalisation and education (I couldn’t fit it in anywhere else!)

Here’s a couple of them… I figure these should be useful for quick card sorts during revision lessons. And let’s face it, there is only ONE thing students love more than filling in grids, and that’s a card sort!

Of course I couldn’t resist doing fuller versions of these grids too, but more of that laters!
