a) Outline the biological explanation for the development of gender identity. (5 marks AO1)
b) Assess the evidence supporting this explanation. (4 marks AO1 + 16 marks AO2/3)
For part a) you need a fairly brief (one paragraph) summary of the chromosoms/genes > hormones > neuroanatomy explanation of gender development.
Part b) needs to be around 600 words. Organise it into paragraphs dealing with the three strands of evidence we have looked at (animal, case study and correlation). Description of these needs to be very brief - it's all about the evaluation.
You need to include a research methodology issue (e.g. reliability, validity, generalisability, cause & effect) and an IDA (issue, debate or approach) related discussion for higher mark bands.
Word processed and turned in via Edmodo in time for our next lesson on Thursday 29th September please.
