About Course

The course is designed to give students a deep understanding of the human mind and how it works. Students will learn about the different psychological theories and perspectives, as well as the research methods that are used to study human behavior. The course is assessed through a combination of written exams and coursework. The written exams cover all of the topics that are taught in the course, and the coursework allows students to demonstrate their understanding of the subject through essays, practical experiments, and presentations. The Cambridge AS and A Level Psychology course is a challenging but rewarding course. It is a good choice for students who are interested in studying psychology at university, or for students who want to pursue a career in a field where an understanding of human behavior is important, such as social work, counseling, or teaching.

Cambridge International AS & A Level Psychology is designed to give students an understanding of psychological concepts, theories and research methodology. It provides candidates with opportunities to consider the approaches, issues and debates and research methodology that underpin all aspects of psychology. At AS Level candidates study four psychological approaches:

Biological psychology: This topic explores the biological bases of human behavior, such as the nervous system, hormones, and genetics.

Cognitive psychology: This topic explores how people think, learn, and remember.

Social psychology: This topic explores how people interact with each other and how social factors influence behavior.

Developmental psychology: This topic explores how people develop and change throughout their lives.

Each approach is exemplified though 12 core studies. The core studies illustrate a wide range of research methods used in psychology, such as experiments, self-reports, case studies, observations, correlations and longitudinal studies. By exploring the relationship between the content of the study and the research methods, candidates will gain a broad understanding of how psychologists study experiences and behaviors and why the research took place.

Chapter 07 – Physical and Chemical Changes

Chapter 08 – Transmission of Heat
Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of thermal energy between physical systems.

Chapter 09 – Dispersion of Light
When white light is passed through a glass prism it splits into its spectrum of colours (in order violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) and this process of white light splitting into its constituent colours is termed as dispersion.
