AS Level Sociolagy

[Al Qiyamah]

As Salaamu Alaykum

:embar: well I needed some help, and just wanted to see if any of the members here can perhaps be of some sort of assistance to me Insha-Allah - I was wondering if someone could possibly help me on finding a sociological study. I'm basically looking for a study to help support my coursework hypothesis. This is all the information I have on it:

Cocket, M. & Tripp, J. (1994). The Exeter family study: Family breakdown and its impact on children (University Report). University of Exeter, Exeter, U.K.

thats the particular study I'm looking for, :( ..hmm Subhan-Allah I've been looking for it for ages but can't seem to find it! *sigh* I wonder how tru muslimah's getting on with her coursework :S

JazaakAllahu Khayr :up:

the PDF I have, its of no use at all ... :torture: :(

:jkk: for the second link I'll check it out Insha-Allah

hmm and is the persons name Cocket or Crokett ? :S its spelt the first way in my sociology book :scratch: are they the same person?

:up: are you able to access those al qiyamah?

yes habeebty :) :love:

[Al Qiyamah]

I've read and seen most of the articles from the Google search link

I need to find a study and another form of source that support my hypothesis hmmm...this is my hypothesis, perhaps it'll give an idea of what sort of information from the studies I'm looking for:


.....“Divorce rates within the ethnic minority community have increased overtime due to it now being less stigmatised.” .....


Cocket/Crockett & Tripp apparently have some parts in their study which have info on what my hypothesis is based on..I just can't find it :S

[pearl_of_wisdom]

Assalamu alaykum

I like your hypothesis, i had this massive book a couple of days ago..could have checked for you init but inshallah i'll check for you tomorrow.

You know sometimes you have to change a word or two in your hypothesis so that it either suggests your hypothesis to be correct or incorrect, so maybe you could change it a little.

If you need anymore help then feel free to ask me, ive just done my coursework so yeah just ask if you need anythin.

are you doing AS Sociolagy too sis?

I also have the extremely large book, :rubeyes: is it called: Haralambos and Holborn : Sociolagy Themes and Perspectives by any chance? :p I have the 6th Edition ...but maybe your right...perhaps I should change my hypothesis wording around ...hmm...but that'd mean starting from scratch again :smack: and its time consuming I have other assignments to do as well :( *thinking*

:jkk: neway sis :) :up:

[Nawar]

I think I did mine on religion and gender, young muslim women in Britain or something :p :p :p

yeah i am :)
Yeah its that book, it could put you to sleep..thats how big it is.
Nah dont change your hypothesis so that you'll have to change your context because that would be a waste of time. Try using other sociology books if you want? I'll search around for you tomorrow inshallah

How many studies have you got so far?

[pearl_of_wisdom]

Assalamu alaykum

sis, all sociology teachers love to talk, they can just go on and on and on..its crazy

[Al Qiyamah]

Lol, seems like tooo long ago now.

It was interesting, I always used to debate with my sociology teacher :smack: they love to just talk :p

lool my Sociology teachers are quite nice, Masha-Allah and I'm usually on their side when it comes to debating certain issues :embar: which I get told off for lol :p

hmmm ...sis what kind of studies did you support your hypothesis with? have sociologists actually studied Young Muslim women in the UK? :eek:

We've been taught the Families and Households section of the Sociology course, and are now learning the Eduction Part of it :nuts: tru muslimah's one is nice and easy, she did her's on how girls do better in education than boys :D ...I had to choose a complicated one :smack:

Masha-Allah :)

hmmm ...I have 3 sentences of 1 study :D doesn't that sound Excellent!! :rolleyes:

[pearl_of_wisdom]

Masha-Allah :)

hmmm ...I have 3 sentences of 1 study :D doesn't that sound Excellent!! :rolleyes:

yeah thats crazy.

The easiest hypothesis's to choose are those linked with education. I got told to do the one that muslima's doing however i did it on lone parenthood increasing due to the over generosity of welfare benefits. It was kind of difficult to find studies for.

You could always change the whole thing if you cant find any other studies but i'll ask for you tomorrow inshallah and see what i can find for you.

[tru muslimah]

AQ how much u done so far?
i still cant fynd ma second study and i dnt have any idea how to link the first one :(

[pearl_of_wisdom]

Sis, whats your hypothesis? ive got a few studies on what your doing :)

Link the study by saying how it suggests your hypothesis to be either true or inaccurate.

[Al Qiyamah]

yeah thats crazy.

you see we've just started the Education topic therefore I thought doing a coursework on it may be even more difficult as we haven't covered all the studies etc n because I was interested in the things which we are yet to be taught it was best to leave it and do something on the Family topic instead @)...Education does sound a lot more interesting though!

hmm sis ok, but please remember, only if its in your free time or something... I wouldn't want to inconvenience you in anyway :o - and I appreciate your help :jkk: :up:

divorce increased in ethnic minority groups?¿? ryt??? :scratch:

[tru muslimah]

Sis, whats your hypothesis? ive got a few studies on what your doing :)

Link the study by saying how it suggests your hypothesis to be either true or inaccurate.

my hypotehsis is
girls tend to do better in education then boys due to them havin a more positive attitude then boys in the classrm
this is what i got so far dunno if it makes sense tho
My first context is based on the findings of Eirene Mitros and Ken Browne. They believe that boys are under-achieving in education although girls are disadvantaged.
Under-achieving is my first concept and it refers to the boys performing less well and receiving lower grades in education.
They argue that …“Girls do better than boys in every stage of National Curriculum SAT results in English, Maths and Science, and they are now more successful than boys at every level in GCSE, outperforming boys in every major subject… except physics.
They identify 5 main reasons on why girls’ achievement has improved. One of the reasons are that girls are more motivated than boys in doing school work Mitros and Browne claim that ‘ research shows that the typical 14 year old can concentrate for 3-4 times as long as her fellow male student’ and that girls tend to be better organised than boys.

yeah i used the same reason as you for not doing the coursework on education.
Inshallah your hard work will pay off :)

Dont worry sis, i have plenty of time to kill and my teachers always willing to help, she spends most the time talking after class anyway or going through my coursework so inshallah i'll ask her and go through some books

What about doing it on cohabitation? or something else, its much easier to find information on.

Divorce in ethnicities is kind of difficult because their aint really any studies on it. Is there any statistics on it because you could use that too

[Al Qiyamah]

i dunno how many wrds it is
besyds i aint even redone it lol

:smack: lol ..Insha-Allah you should do it so that it flows nicely with your concepts and contexts bit ...I've finally done mine lol

lol hmm I think I'm going on a searching spree ...

Planning coursework — some general principles

These are the main things to remember about your coursework:

* If anything can go wrong, it will.
* If you leave it to the last minute then you are very likely to write a load of rubbish.
* Your teacher is there to be a source of help and guidance, but cannot support you unless you have made some effort on your own behalf.

As soon as the work is set, begin putting together ideas and write them down.

Start gathering information as quickly as possible.

Write your letters early as these will probably not be answered and you may need to pester people politely.

Your first draft will need very careful re-editing because it is never as good as you think it is; leave yourself plenty of time for re-drafting and editing.

At the end of the process, you will almost certainly feel that this was the part of the course that gave you the most satisfaction and which you really enjoyed.

Doing the courswork is likely to make you a better sociologist, so think about what you are doing and learn the lessons.

A serious mistake in the process is a bonus because you will then have plenty to write about.

The emphasis of the coursework in terms of marks is not the knowledge that you gain, but your understanding of and insight into the research process.

If you put off doing coursework, you will feel lousy and stress yourself out. If you have collected lots of ideas and bits of paper, then you will be able to begin when you feel relaxed and enthusiastic and you will have fewer problems.

Best of luck and enjoy yourself with the research.

^ good tips

Van Houtte, M. (2004). Why boys achieve less at school than girls: the difference between boys' and girls' academic culture. Educational Studies, 30, 159-173.

Recently, research into gender differences in achievement has mainly concentrated on the underperformance of boys in comparison with girls. Qualitative research in particular points to the importance of the gender-specific cultures adolescents experience. The purpose of this article is to test quantitatively the explanatory value of academic culture with respect to the stated gender differences in achievement. Use is made of data of 3760 pupils in the third and the fourth year of secondary education in a sample of 34 schools in Flanders (Belgium). A distinction is made between general schools preparing students for higher education and schools offering technical and vocational education. It is demonstrated that boys' culture is less study oriented than girls' culture and that this difference can be held responsible for the gender differences in achievement, at least in general schools. In technical/vocational schools, boys seem to oppose the study culture.
