Essential skills for A-Level/Higher Tier GCSE
It is increasingly important for A-level and higher tier GCSE students to get to grips with a range of geographical techniques. This valuable publication offers departments a highly versatile and practical resource for introducing, reinforcing and revising essential techniques.
Departments could use individual sheets in lessons or compile sets of sheets to create their own booklets for use by different groups of students.
40 key techniques in self-contained units
The techniques used and the balance between sheets providing instruction and exercises is entirely up to the department.
Over 40 techniques are covered; these involve:
- primary fieldwork collection, eg writing questionnaires
- using secondary sources, eg photographs
- analysis, eg Spearman rank correlation
- presentation of data, eg proportional flow maps.
Each technique is covered in a self-contained unit. Each unit offers step-by-step instructions and a worksheet taking pupils through an exercise in that technique. These elements can be used together or separately. Many units are linked together to reinforce one another.
