Week 9
- 1. Contemporary Issues in Psychology: debates Gather relevant source material by applying searching and evaluating skills Discuss information and ideas in a group Create an action plan as a group
- 2. Group debates: next week What is a debate? Each side of the debate presents their argument (their position) on a statement. They then question each other and so can the other people who are watching. These questions are meant to challenge them and make them defend their position, or sometimes to just ask for more information and explanation. Often the audience is asked which side they think was most persuasive and therefore ‘won’.
- 3. What will you debate? Men and women have different brains • Group 1 – support the statement • Group 2 – oppose the statement The body positivity movement helps to promote health in society. • Group 3 – support the statement • Group 4 – oppose the statement • These are important and current issues in Psychology at the moment that often lead to different views and arguments. • Think about how you built up an argument today.
- 4. Preparation • You have your position/argument – so where will you find the evidence to support it? • How will you structure it? What language will you use? • What kind of questions do you think you might get asked? Prepare for these too. Use the question handout you’ve been given, if you want. • Remember what you now know about how to work well as a group. How about making an action plan? What would be in it? What do you personally think you could contribute to your group’s work?
- 5. Online learning and homework • You may want to review some of the online activities on building an argument. • Work on your group debate preparation by searching for source material and preparing your argument. Try using OneDrive to share your work within the group.

- We should only be with them 20-30 minutes max. They need to then go off on their own as groups to start preparing and building up a plan for the week. Last week, we were there to support them as they worked on their presentations, but this week, we’re not (we can get on with marking!)
- Just to remind them of what they need to do – possible questions could be whether they need PowerPoint (if they want – they need to make that decisions, or they could just use notes). Do they all need to speak? (No – but those who don’t present may want to answer questions – as long as they show they’ve engaged with it , that’s fine – this is especially so those with anxiety don't feel put off). Give them the question-forming handout. Emphasise that they’re free to go/do what they want – they could get a coffee and talk about how they will share out the work/go to a group work space in the library/stay in the room, or go back to their IT room from earlier in the semester. The point is, we won’t be with them and they need to take responsibility for preparing this. Last week was to show them how they can do it. Reiterate their earlier comments about effective group work
- We can just show them this to clarify before they work in their groups. Give them the forming questions sheet to help them to preare questions for the other side, and to prepare possible responses to questions themselves.
