Edexcel BTEC Level
3 Nationals specification in Health and Social Care – Issue 1 – June 2010 © Edexcel Limited 2010 1 Unit 7: Sociological Perspectives for Health and Social Care Unit code: M/601/2402 QCF Level 3: BTEC Nationals Credit value: 5 Guided learning hours: 30 Aim and purpose This unit aims to enable learners to gain an understanding of the different sociological approaches that can be used when studying and how these approaches can be used to study health and social care. Unit introduction Sociology is the study of society, and is a method of enquiry and explanation. In this unit learners will gain an understanding of sociology as a discipline and the different sociological perspectives. They will then consider the application of different sociological approaches to the understanding of a number of concepts within health and social care. This will include exploring the social dimension of health and illness. Sociologists argue that health and illness have two aspects to them. The first of these is biological, and there are clearly distinct states of discomfort, pain and abnormality that can be considered to be ill health. The second aspect, however, involves how the concepts of health and illness are themselves considered, and sociologists consider the cultural dimensions of these concepts. Learners will also examine health inequalities among different groups of people in society, and the range of explanations that sociologists have suggested for these inequalities. The unit will encourage learners to be reflective, and will be valuable to those learners intending to work with people in a caring capacity. It will also be useful for learners who intend to progress to study at a higher level. The sociological approach is embedded in several other units in the programme and is extended in Unit 19: Applied Sociological Perspectives for Health and Social Care. Learning outcomes On completion of this unit a learner should: 1 Understand sociological perspectives 2 Understand sociological approaches to health and social care.

Edexcel BTEC Level
3 Nationals specification in Health and Social Care – Issue 1 – June 2010 © Edexcel Limited 2010 4 Essential guidance for tutors Delivery This unit should be delivered using a mixture of tutor input and learner-led activity, such as research, role play and case studies and, where appropriate, guest speakers from a variety of health and social care settings and other appropriate practitioners. Initially, learners should explore the principal sociological perspectives and their relevance to approaches to health and ill health. Learners could work in small groups to identify these different sociological perspectives, and then apply them to the study of health and ill health. From this information learners will move on to assess both the biomedical and socio-medical models of health and, where appropriate, supported by the tutor apply these models to their lives so far and also within the health and social care sector. Once learners are familiar with the principal sociological perspectives, approaches to health and ill health, and both the biomedical and socio-medical models of health, they should progress to investigate patterns and trends in health and illness among different social groupings. Many learners find this very interesting and they will be able to source up-to-date patterns and trends in health and illness by accessing ‘social trends’ from the Office of National Statistics website. They will then investigate these different patterns and trends by applying the different sociological approaches already studied. They should focus on two different social groupings for this. They will evaluate this for a distinction grade. It is important that P1, P2 and M1 are delivered and covered before P3, M2 and D1, as without these three initial criteria being covered/achieved learners will be unable to successfully approach P3. Learners should be given opportunities, and time, to develop and practise their research skills when carrying out their investigations for this unit. Arrangements for interactions within the workplace should be discussed and agreed with the tutor and work supervisor/mentor. In addition to learners accessing a health or social care setting for workplace experience it would be very useful to bring the world of the workplace into the classroom, giving learners applied learning opportunities and also the opportunity to question practitioners. Therefore time should be put aside for learners to prepare questions for visiting practitioners before their visit to get the most out of these opportunities. Learners should be encouraged at all times to be reflective and to develop an awareness of their feelings, thoughts and experiences relating to the different models, patterns and trends of health and ill health.

3 Nationals specification in Health and Social Care – Issue 1 – June 2010 © Edexcel Limited 2010 6 Assessment This unit should be delivered and assessed with as much employer engagement/workplace learning opportunities as is appropriate and relevant. The learning outcomes can be met through two different assignments where learners are asked to present their evidence using a variety of methods. Assignment 1 could be presented in the form of an information booklet. This can be produced however learners prefer, but it must be explanatory in nature and not just descriptive to meet the requirements of P1. Assignment 2 could take the form of a report/essay or presentation as appropriate. Learning outcome 1 is achieved by meeting P1 and M1 and learning outcome 2 by meeting P2, P3, M2 and D1. Assignments set can be assessed whenever is the most appropriate time the tutor and learners, the order in which they should be completed is important, Assignment 1 should be completed first in order for learners to have the knowledge required to be able to approach Assignment 2. In order to pass the unit learners must achieve a pass grade for each learning outcome, all three pass criteria are spread across both assignments, and both assignments must be covered and assessed. All three pass criteria must be achieved before merit grade criteria can be assessed. The merit criteria must be achieved before distinction grade criteria can be assessed. Pass grade learners will, on the whole, produce evidence that is an explanation. Merit grade learners, in addition to the above, will also produce evidence that shows they have carried out an assessment and examination. Distinction grade learners, in addition to the above, will also include an evaluation in their evidence. Learners may like to carry out their plans and investigations/research in small friendship groups, this is acceptable but final evidence for assessment must be individually produced pieces of work. Tutors are encouraged to embed personal, learning and thinking skills (PLTS) for as many opportunities as is appropriate within classroom-based activities, applied learning/contextualised activities and assessment.

3 Nationals specification in Health and Social Care – Issue 1 – June 2010 © Edexcel Limited 2010 Programme of suggested assignments The table below shows a programme of suggested assignments that cover the pass, merit and distinction criteria in the assessment and grading grid. This is for guidance and it is recommended that centres either write their own assignments or adapt any Edexcel assignments to meet local needs and resources. Criteria covered Assignment title Scenario Assessment method P1, P2, M1 Sociological approaches You work for local government. At work you have been asked to investigate the need for a new, larger health centre for the locality. You ultimately need to investigate the social trends regarding health and illness in your locality to discover whether there is a need for a new health centre. You will share your information with your colleagues. Information booklet. P3, M2, D1 Patterns and trends in health and illness Investigation report/essay. Links to National Occupational Standards (NOS), other BTEC units, other BTEC qualifications and other relevant units and qualifications This unit forms part of the BTEC Health and Social Care sector suite (see Appendix A) and has links with units from other qualifications in that suite. See Appendix E for NOS links and Appendix G for a mapping of the NHS Knowledge and Skills Framework against particular units in this qualification. Essential resources Learners will require access to library facilities, including relevant texts, professional magazines and journals, CD ROMs, current newspapers and ICT facilities including the internet, with tutor guidance to avoid inappropriate use. Guest speakers who work in the statutory, private and voluntary sectors will enhance learning. Social trends, particularly regarding health patterns and trends, are an essential resource and can be accessed via a central library or the Office for National Statistics website. Employer engagement and vocational contexts Visits from speakers employed within the health and social care sectors and representatives of particular bodies in society associated with health inequalities and trends will enhance learner understanding. Learners would also benefit from visits to organisations. The local authority will be useful for this unit. The local authority will have several departments who deal with health as part of their daily work. The first point of contact for this unit in this context will be the local authority human resources department.
