OCR Psychology for AS Karon Oliver, Louise Ellerby-Jones
December 29th, 2007 | by Mark Holah | 
Hodder Education have promised that their textbook for the new OCR AS specifications will be due before April 2008
The textbook is written by Karen and Louise and for 20 quid you get the book and an interactive CD.
The book will obviously be good. For example, the blurb states that the book is “highly accessible and readable, with useful guidance on comparing studies, applying themes, and learning key concepts and terminology. Each study is introduced in detail, with Background, Aims and Methods to fully contextualise it, and includes Focus on Themes and Focus on Research Methods boxes to aid students. There is also a separate chapter dedicated to Research Methods, and numerous hints and tips for top exam performance”
I am looking forward to the “unique Dynamic Learning Student CD, including: • self-test exercises • knowledge quizzes • multiple-choice questions • wordsearches • crosswords • evaluations and summaries of the core studies. These comprehensive digital resources bring learning to life, allowing students to test their knowledge and understanding of all key areas.
Here is the link to the book

A bit disappointed that we (OCR) only get a CD whereas AQA get ‘blended learning’. I might switch for the blended learning. Sorry Holah.co.uk

Note from the publisher: sorry about the terminology, rest assured that the Dynamic Learning CD provides ‘blended learning’ for the OCR package.
