It explains how learners should think like geographers through framed and independent enquiry, including posing questions, collecting and evaluating evidence, and drawing evidenced conclusions. The handbook describes progression across enquiry stages, supports classroom questioning using 7 Ws and an H, and highlights how meta-cognition strengthens future fieldwork and classroom investigations.","GCSE  \nWJEC Eduqas GCSE in GEOGRAPHY A  \nACCREDITED BY OFQUAL  \nTEACHER  \nTeaching from 2016  \nVersion2January2019  \nHANDBOOK  \nThis Ofqual regulated qualification is not available for candidates in maintained schools and colleges in Wales.  \nContents  \nAims of WJEC Eduqas GCSE (9-1) in Geography A 2  \nUnderstanding the Assessment Objectives 5  \nDeveloping programmes of study for WJEC Eduqas GCSE (9-1) Geography A 8  \nIntroduction to Component 3 15  \nFAQs for fieldwork in WJEC Eduqas GCSE (9-1) in Geography A 18  \nThe use of mathematics and statistics in geography 21  \nUseful interactive resources 25  \nAims of the WJEC Eduqas GCSE (9-1) Geography A  \nThe overarching aims of this qualification are that learners should develop the ability to think‘like a geographer’. That is to say, learners will develop the skills necessary to conduct framed enquiries in the classroom and in the field in order to develop their understanding of specialised geographical concepts and current geographical issues. By following this specification learners will achieve the following objectives. They will develop the ability to think:  \n• creatively, for example, by posing questions that relate to geographical processes and concepts that include questioning about spatial pattern and geographical change  \n• scientifically by collecting and recording appropriate evidence from a range of sources, including fieldwork, before critically assessing the validity of this evidence and synthesising their findings to reach evidenced conclusions that relate to the initial aim of their enquiry  \n• independently by applying geographical knowledge, understanding, skills and approaches appropriately and creatively to real world contexts. In so doing they should appreciate that geography can be ‘messy’, i.e. that real geography does not always match typical or predicted outcomes.  \nWJEC Eduqas GCSE (9-1) in Geography A develops an enquiry approach to the study of geographical information, issues and concepts. It is based on the principle that geographical education should enable learners to become critical and reflective thinkers by engaging them actively in the enquiry process. Content is organised around key questions and learners should develop the ability to pose geographical questions of their own.  \n\n|  | Closed task | Framed enquiry | Independent enquiry |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | A task is presented.\u003Cbr>Questions are not explicit. | Enquiry questions are selected by teacher, but are explicit. | Students decide enquiry questions, framed by teacher input. |\n| | Decisions about fieldwork procedure are made by teachers. Data is presented as authoritative evidence. | Decisions about fieldwork procedure are made largely by teachers. Data is presented as information to be interpreted. | Students are involved in key decisions about fieldwork procedure and data sources. |\n| | Activities devised by teacher to achieve predetermined objectives. Students follow instructions. | Methods of representation are open to discussion and choice. Analysis is independent. | Students independently analyse evidence and make decisions/reach conclusions. |\n| | Predictable outcomes. | Students discuss what they have learnt; different outcomes. | Students consider the validity of\u003Cbr>evidence/reliability of data and methods. |\n\nFigure 1 Progression through geographical enquiry (based on an idea presented by Margaret Roberts, former senior lecturer at Sheffield University)  \nFigure 1, based on an idea presented by Margaret Roberts, indicates the degree of independence (columns) of the student at each stage of the enquiry process (rows) . The diagram represents a continuum between tasks that have been set by the teacher on the left and an enquiry process that is driven by the learner on the right.
