Fieldwork can be challenging, informative, sometimes messy but frequently fun. Fieldwork has a strong track record of motivating and providing students with the geographical and 21st Century skills they need to progress in the contemporary world. 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.  \nEdexcel International GCSE Geography (9–1) Fieldwork Guide © Pearson Education Limited 2017  \n1  \n(1) Introduction  \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:  \n• pre-fieldwork planning – designing a fieldwork investigation, as per the qualification content.  \n• primary field skills – undertaking a field investigation; the need for sampling, data collection and recording techniques.  \n• presentation and analysis skills – using a range of data presentation and analytical techniques to illustrate and interpret data. These should include graphs and maps (GIS), as well as statistics, such as calculations of central tendency, spread and cumulative frequency (e.g. median, mean, range and the IQR) .  \n• conclusions and evaluative skills – drawing evidence based conclusions and linking these to theories. Identifying implications of the results for people and the environment. Evaluating the reliability and validity of the techniques used and the conclusions drawn.  \nFieldwork and enquiry-based learning should also support wider practical skills.  \nIn particular:  \n• graphical skills – the construction of appropriate graphs, including bar charts, pie charts, and pictograms.  \n• cartographic (map) skills –using and understanding grid references, scale, symbols, and contours; on both print and digital maps.  \n• photo-interpretation skills – reading vertical and oblique aerial photographs and satellite images, including 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 – the use of simple statistics, including means, medians, percentage changes and ranges; and the ability to describe relations in bivariate data.  \n• conflict resolution skills – identifying the views of interested people (stakeholders), recognising that stakeholders may have strongly different attitudes and feelings towards a particular issue.  \n• evaluation of findings – appraisal and review of data and information, to see if these are accurate, suitable for the purpose or misleading and unreliable.  \n2  \nEdexcel International GCSE Geography (9–","cbCaiiokSOUTz3KQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiokSOUTz3KQ","pdf",3624590,22,"English","# Introduction\n# Assessment Overview","[{\"question\":\"Why does the guide emphasize fieldwork in International GCSE Geography?\",\"answer\":\"Fieldwork is presented as the best way for students to experience geography in action, strengthen skills, and motivate learners.
