Extended Writing: It is often useful to:

  1. develop the meaning of a concept by following a term with ‘– this means that……’. For example: reliability – this means that a standard measuring instrument such as a questionnaire has been used.
  2. be able to give examples to explain what you mean. For example, with regard to a hypothesis, the following could be tested – pupils in receipt of free school meals will do less well at GCSE than pupils who are not.
  3. be able to evaluate or question concepts. For example, to what extent can any research be value-free? Questionnaires may claim to be value-free but the researcher who designed the questions will have made decisions as to which questions to ask.
