Books for OCR psychology
October 31st, 2007 | by Mark Holah |
This will be the first of a number of posts on which books are going to be available for the new specifications.
As you may know, the awarding bodies all now have their own “official partners” and for psychology OCR have gone to bed with Heinemann
Heinemann are to publish an AS Book (available from March 2008) and an A2 book (available from September 2008).
Apparently, both books come with a free CD, which will have “a wealth of extra exam preparation in an exciting interactive format” and the A2 book covers all four of the options.
For a whopping £250 each you can also buy an A2 Psychology Planning and Delivery Resource File and CD-ROM, and an AS Psychology Planning and Delivery Resource File and CD-ROM
You can find more details here where you can also view a sample of the books.
Of course, there will be many non-endorsed books available for OCR psychology. So far I have noticed that their will be a new edition of the wonderful Introducing Psychological Research by Banyard and Grayson which will cover the new studies for AS and has an extended chapter on methods and statistics. I have already ordered my copy, which is due out in December.
As more books become available, I will let you know.
