hi
i am a psychology A level student from nepal
and hearing of this dvd that has helped you is remarkable
we dont have those resources here as A levels is still a new area of education here. yes we are limited to theorical studying styles which makes psychology difficult for us in nepal.

I just checked the preview and looks interesting. I think I’m gonna buy the DVD. I already have a video related to this research, I can only hope that it is not the same.

I really enjoyed teaching this on the new edexcel spec. It was disappointing for my students that there were no really good clips on you tube unlike most of the other parts of social influence
We had to make do with 3 very short trailers. I have used video so much more this year – YouTube has some great stuff – I think the best videos are those with no explanation the students really enjoy doing that bit themselves. If I have the luxury of an explanation I always pause before it to get the students thinking “why” on their mini white boards then we can watch the psychologists explanation this makes them immediately critical building their evaluative skills

I taught this very badly too, so much detail to go into. I always learn from my mistakes though and next year I will teach it much better! One thing which helped my students a lot though is this timeline from the bbc prison study website. Check it out http://www.bbcprisonstudy.org/resources.php?p=114
