Item A
There is a gap in educational achievement between girls and boys. This gap is present
in primary school and carries on through to university. Some sociologists see factors
outside of school as the main cause of gender differences in educational achievement.
One factor is the change in the roles of men and women in society. Girls now have a
wider range of female role models in society to aspire to than before.
Other sociologists suggest that factors inside the school, such as the presence of
laddish anti-school subcultures, may have a greater effect on gender differences in
educational achievement.
Applying material from Item A and your knowledge, evaluate the impact of external factors
on gender differences in educational achievement.

Methods in Context outside the
box
Item B
Bullying is a sensitive problem for schools. Schools have procedures and policies in
place to deal with bullying. If a school is perceived to have high levels of bullying, it
could prove damaging to their reputation within the community. Bullying can take a
number of different forms. When researching bullying, sociologists often look at pupil
peer groups in school and at power differences between pupil groups.
Applying material from Item B and your knowledge of research methods, evaluate the
strengths and limitations of using unstructured interviews to investigate pupils’ experiences
of bullying in schools.
