How individuals function in groups, the effect of roles and norms, and the development of the person across the life span.
These are the statements the Community and Family Studies syllabus makes about Core 2: Individuals and Groups. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.
The roles an individual occupies, how those roles conflict, and how relationships are maintained across them.
The needs, capacities and social expectations attached to the earliest life stages.
Identity formation, increasing autonomy, and the transition into work and independent living.
Changing roles in mid and later life, and the care arrangements and policy settings that support ageing.
The kinds of groups people belong to, and how a group's purpose shapes the behaviour expected within it.
How norms are enforced, why individuals conform, and what happens when someone does not.
Leadership styles and their effect on a group, including the difference between authority and influence.
HSC Community and Family Studies - Trial Paper Shape is 100 marks in 180 minutes. Questions on Core 2: Individuals and Groups are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Community and Family Studies uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Core 2: Individuals and Groups is module 2 of 5 in Community and Family Studies. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses Community and Family Studies dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
