ALEVEL心理课程新考纲请查收!

  A-level心理学是围绕这一科目的六大核心领域展开的——社会心理学、 认知心理学、发展心理学、精神病理学、生物心理学、研究方法。

  考法有简答题、论述题、情景题和实验设计题等等,没有选择题或填空题。

  ALEVEL心理课程考纲更新,复习方向更明确

  【ALEVEL第1年】

  研究方法部分最主要的变化是去掉了Natural Experiment,增加了Longitudinal Studies,学习难度没有太大变化。

  In the research methodology section we have reviewed the content for clarity. The main changes are:

  removal of natural experiments

  addition of longitudinal studies

  revision of the ethics in animal studies to reflect the new core studies

  reorganisation of data analysis.
