This blog is designed to tell you what might be useful for you in some way on the TV and radio over the coming week. We look so you don't have to!Have a check to see if it might provide you with some future resources...Students, it's great for you too!
| Sunday 13th July | Big Daddy Sky Comedy at 620pm ( or search for clips on YOUTUBE) | A Hollywood film, that is all about a hapless man who takes a friend's child under his wing. This provides lots of examples of social learning theory in action.... perfect for clips to introduce the approach |
| Tuesday 15th July | Exposure: Don't Take My Child ITV at 10.40pm | This could provide case studies for the application of attachment theory. It's about whether to remove a child from their biological mothers i.e. when is it the right thing to do? This has the potential to be very harrowing though.... |
| On the radio... | ||
| Monday 14th July | The Infinite Monkey Cage Radio 4 at 4.30pm | With psychologists Keith Jensen and Katie Slocombe, Brian Cox examines what makes humans unique. This is great for considering extrapolation and the use of animal studies in Psychology. Valid or not valid? |
| On i player... | Common BBC iplayer | Last week's drama on conviction when you are guilty by association. Great for definition of crime...it's on the new AQA specification! |
