#40DayChallenge Day 16 – Practical limitations of Self Completition Questionnaires

Today’s 40 Day challenge is on research methods. Given that 2 of the 8 ten mark questions across the 3 papers are on either Theory or Methods this is the eighth theory methods question I have asked. These questions are much harder to predict and so for revision I would suggest as a minimum you know 2 Practical, 2 Ethical and 2 Theoretical strengths and limitations of each of the key methods on the specification: Questionnaires, Experiments, Observations, Interviews and Secondary sources – including all variations of these. I have uploaded some blank Research Methods worksheets under Revision Materials

About the author

The Sociology Guy is a pseudonym originally used by Craig Gelling when he was working in an FE College to provide an outlet for his frustrations with how he was expected to teach and strict rules around intellectual property in his former employer. The Sociology Guy name came from his early years as a supply teacher, where students would often not know his name and ask for ‘the sociology guy’ when coming to the staff room. Initially set up in 2018 as an anonymous You Tube channel, Craig has since written, recorded and presented for many different organisations and education providers. His purpose is to try and make sociology both accessible and understandable for all students and support teachers to inspire the next generation of sociologists.
