OCR Issues and Debates

Eleanor Austin presents a tasty approach to synoptic evaluation

As you will know if you are studying the OCR specification, you need to be good at understanding psychological issues and debates. You also need to be good at synoptic evaluation, which is your application of these issues and debates to the studies you are learning about. To this end, Section B of the Core Studies paper is dedicated solely to synoptic evaluation questions.

Psychology students consistently find these ideas hard to properly understand and tend, as a result, to lose marks on these questions in the exam. It is well worth your time to delve a little deeper into issues and debates and learn how to answer these Section B questions.
