The material has been developed to help students aged 16-19 studying Hume’s Enquiries as a set text for AQA A2 Philosophy. Section X on miracles is included to make it suitable for the revised A2 specification for 2009. The material is presented in a lively and accessible manner, and is structured for exam success. Key concepts are clearly illustrated, with text exercises and a teacher pack with suggested answers. Supporting PowerPoint presentations are provided, and can be produced as further handouts.
The topics are divided into sections relating to the AQA syllabus, including Theory of Ideas, Mitigated Scepticism, Belief, Causation, Liberty and Necessity and Miracles. Materials are presented so that they can be distributed as an entire pack, or broken down into topics.
The materials make this difficult text both accessible and enjoyable to students of a range of abilities and learning styles. In some sections, more advanced material is included for more able learners and the PowerPoint presentations give visual support to the topic booklets. Students (and teachers) find that the breakdown of topics makes the text seem less daunting, and guides them clearly on how to include key information in exam questions. There are frequent extracts from the text to familiarise students with the original language in manageable chunks.
Trials of this long-overdue resource have proved to increase achievements to about national benchmarks.
Once purchased, the CD can be freely copied and networked throughout the school.
