Allowing students to explore issues and questions in a real-world context that frequently produces uncertain or ‘grey’ outcomes encourages them to question their own findings and nurtures analytical and critical thinking, as well as building resilience.  \nFieldwork can strengthen skills and reach learners that other approaches fail to reach. Please make sure your students get the best fieldwork experience your colleagues and resources can provide, whether it be local days out, formal teacherled field-trips, or working with a fieldwork provider.  \nIntroduction and assessment overview  \nThroughout their course, learners need to acquire a range of geographical skills through fieldwork and linked practical exercises.  \nFieldwork and enquiry skills in readiness for assessment must include the following:  \n● Pre-fieldwork planning – designing a fieldwork investigation, as per the qualification content. This may include a degree of planning research.  \n● Primary field skills – undertaking a field investigation; the need for sampling, data collection and recording techniques.  \n● Presentation, analysis, conclusions and evaluation skills – using the range of data presentation techniques; analysis of data and drawing conclusions; evaluating the techniques used and the conclusions drawn.  \nIn the context of this, fieldwork and enquiry-based learning should also support wider practical skills, in particular the following:  \n● Graphical skills – compiling graphs and flow lines; using proportional symbols; annotating maps; diagrams and photographs.  \n● Map skills (including digital maps)– using grid references; understanding scales; recognising symbols; identifying landforms and human features of the landscape.  \n● Photo-interpretation skills – reading vertical and oblique aerial photographs and satellite images, including geographic information systems (GIS) .  \n● Sketching skills – communicating ideas through simple sketch maps and field sketches.  \n● Spatial awareness – identifying the relative locations and relationships between features.  \nCognitive enquiry skills  \n● Analysis of findings – reviewing and interpreting quantitative and qualitative information using appropriate media.  \n● Use of statistical skills – simple descriptive statistics, such as lines of best fit, means, medians, modes, etc.  \n● Conflict resolution skills","cbCaitbM5trk1SYO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitbM5trk1SYO","pdf",2785270,"English","# Introduction and assessment overview\n## Fieldwork standards, requirements and the route to enquiry\n## Assessment of fieldwork in the examination\n## The route to enquiry\n# Planning and delivering an integrated fieldwork strategy\n## Fieldwork progression\n## Organising a field trip\n## Funding for self-led and provider-led fieldwork\n# Undertaking geographical fieldwork\n## Pre-fieldwork and planning\n## Design: where and how many\n## Equipment and primary data collection\n## Data processing and presentation\n## Analysis, conclusions, and critical reflection\n# Suggested fieldwork opportunities\n## Investigating river processes and pressures\n## Investigating coastal change and conflict\n## Investigating dynamic urban areas\n## Investigating changing rural areas\n# Resources to support fieldwork and research\n## Virtual fieldwork\n## Further guidance and support","[{\"question\":\"What are the key fieldwork and enquiry skills learners must develop?\",\"answer\":\"Learners need pre-fieldwork planning, primary field skills (including sampling, data collection, and recording), and presentation, analysis, conclusions, and evaluation using appropriate data techniques.
