It is therefore crucial that students have access to appropriate opportunities for meaningful research.  \nTeachers must also ensure that the fieldwork activities and environments experienced by students allow them to develop and demonstrate the full range, variety and diversity of skills required.  \nResearch and fieldwork skills in readiness for assessment (Unit 2) must include:  \n􀁸 pre-fieldwork planning and research:  \n1. Identification of the question for investigation  \n2. Contextualising the investigation  \n􀁸 primary fieldwork and data collection:  \n3. Methodology and design  \n4. Primary data collection, equipment and recording  \n􀁸 presentation, analysis, conclusions and evaluation:  \n5. Data processing, analysis and presentation  \n6. Explanation and conclusions  \n7. Critically reflecting on the results and process  \nRefer to Appendix 2 page 71 of the specification: Geographical investigation, for more details  \nFieldwork, research and enquiry-based learning should also support the wider suite of geographical skills, Appendix 1 page 69.  \n􀁸 Understand the nature and use of different types of geographical information, including qualitative and quantitative data, primary and secondary sources of data, images, factual text and discursive/creative material, digital data, numerical and spatial data and innovative forms of data, including crowd-sourced and‘big data’ and including dot maps, kite diagrams, linear and logarithmic scales, dispersion diagrams aerial/oblique/ground/satellite images, and GIS.  \n􀁸 Collect, analyse and interpret such information, and demonstrate the ability to understand and apply suitable analytical approaches for the different information types, including qualitative approaches such as coding and sampling and quantitative approaches such as measures of dispersion, measures of correlation and association from the following statistical tests: t-tests, Spearman’s rank, Chi-Squared, Gini coefficient, Lorenz curves.  \n􀁸 Undertake informed and critical questioning of data sources, analytical methodologies, data reporting and presentation, including the ability to identify sources of error in data and to identify the misuse of data  \n􀁸 Communicate and evaluate findings, draw well-evidenced conclusions informed by wider theory, and construct extended written argument about geographical matters.  \nA recent report (Lambert and Reiss 2016 (Institute of education, University of London, 2014/5), confirms the significance of high quality fieldwork as an integral part of being a competent geographer. Table 1 presents some reflective ideas that might be considered at the initial stages of thinking about an investigation. A good piece of enquiry work will likely reinforce some of these embedded skills and competencies.  \n\n| Focus | Skills and competencies |\n| --- | --- |\n| Application and evaluation of knowledge and understanding | 􀁸 Develops skills in “big data”\u003Cbr>􀁸 Embeds competencies in data handling and statistical understanding\u003Cbr>􀁸 Helps with skills of literature research and selection of material; can develop synthesis skills\u003Cbr>􀁸 May help with technology skills, e.g. spreadsheet manipulation or analysis using GIS |\n| Developing“deeper”learning | 􀁸 Helps “see” things differently\u003Cbr>􀁸 Encourages caution and reflectivity in data analysis, as well as taking geographical meaning\u003Cbr>􀁸 Enables critical thinking and the ability to challenge\u003Cbr>􀁸 Helps with skills of reasoning as well as geographical curiosity. |\n| Social\u003Cbr>dimensions | 􀁸 Helps foster independent learning\u003Cbr>􀁸 Creates an atmosphere for co-operation in problem solving\u003Cbr>􀁸 Teaches the skills of procedure which will be transferable to other situations and subjects.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Greater awareness of ethical considerations a","cbCaihRBUmnTwCoz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihRBUmnTwCoz","pdf",2018039,"English","# Introduction\n## Fieldwork, research, and assessment readiness\n## Geographical information types and data skills\n## Statistical tests and analytical approaches\n## Table 1: Reflective ideas and competencies\n## Structure of this guide\n## Section 1: Overview of fieldwork and research themes","[{\"question\":\"How many days of fieldwork are students required to complete for the geography research requirement?\",\"answer\":\"Students must complete a minimum of two days of fieldwork, excluding research time, to meet the requirements in the specification.\"},{\"question\":\"What skill areas are required for research and fieldwork readiness for assessment (Unit 2)?\",\"answer\":\"The guide groups skills into pre-fieldwork planning and research, primary fieldwork and data collection, and presentation, analysis, conclusions, and evaluation, including critically reflecting on results and process.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the difference between primary and secondary data in this guide?\",\"answer\":\"Primary data is first-hand data collected by the student (often within a group), while secondary data is information already collected by someone else as part of the research.\"}]","Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level Geography Research and Fieldwork Guide | PDF",1792472838,48]
