What is the position of fieldwork in reformed GCSE?
“Fieldwork is crucial to the strong role envisaged for geography in the revised and more challenging curriculum at all levels”
“The scheme of assessment must include an identifiable element or elements assessing fieldwork. This must include assessment of students’ own experiences of fieldwork”
“Fieldwork will be assessed though examination only. It will comprise 15% of the total assessment weighting”

Presentation aims
1. Get students thinking geographically throughout the enquiry process with a view to improving current and future assessment outcomes
• Explore strategies for engaging students in fieldwork enquiry
• Analyse Assessment Objective (AO) weightings and consider what these tell us about possible future models of assessment of fieldwork

Closed task Framed enquiry Independent enquiry
Questions
A task is presented. Questions are not explicit.
Enquiry questions are selected by teacher but are explicit.
Students decide enquiry questions, framed by teacher input.
Data
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.
Making sense
Activities devised by teacher to achieve pre-determined 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.
Reflection
Predictable outcomes. Students discuss what they have learnt; different outcomes.
Students consider the validity of evidence / reliability of data and methods.

Observation skills
• Verbal field sketches• ‘Geography Parrot’• Breaking News
![Page 25: STARTER ACTIVITY What enquiry questions could you pose at each of these field sites?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164cc550346895dd6efc4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Verbal field sketches
• In pairs facing each other• Person A describes. Person B marks according
to a predefined mark scheme• The twist..... Person A is describing the
landscape behind them, without looking.
![Page 26: STARTER ACTIVITY What enquiry questions could you pose at each of these field sites?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164cc550346895dd6efc4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
‘Geography Parrot’
• Only ever says one sentence...• Encourages next steps on from
labels in field sketches• Begins to consider
– Processes– Consequences– Implications– Future scenarios
So what?
![Page 27: STARTER ACTIVITY What enquiry questions could you pose at each of these field sites?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164cc550346895dd6efc4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
‘Breaking News’
• Either as preparation to the study or on-site• News Headlines
• Brief summary• Information (including details/facts)
• Analysis• Letters to the Editor
![Page 28: STARTER ACTIVITY What enquiry questions could you pose at each of these field sites?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164cc550346895dd6efc4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Developing Questions
• Questions are generated through observation
• Best done prior to fieldwork to enable ‘whole enquiry’ approach
• In-situ questioning allows ‘anomalies’ to be identified
![Page 29: STARTER ACTIVITY What enquiry questions could you pose at each of these field sites?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164cc550346895dd6efc4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Assessment of fieldwork
Which parts of the enquiry process do we assess / could we assess?

Does assessment of AO3 focus our attention on a sub-set of fieldwork skills?
Could we assess this sub-set of skills using other assessment models?

Do we provide opportunities for students to demonstrate that they can apply their wider geographical understanding to the study area – what we currently term AO2?
![Page 32: STARTER ACTIVITY What enquiry questions could you pose at each of these field sites?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164cc550346895dd6efc4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How do students access AO2 in their fieldwork enquiry?
How many of you have visited the Lingen Alps in Norway?

Grade C descriptionAO1 Candidates recall, select and communicate knowledge and understanding of
places, environments, concepts and locations across different scales. They use geographical terminology appropriately.
AO2 They apply their knowledge and understanding of geographical concepts, processes and patterns in a variety of both familiar and unfamiliar physical and human contexts.They understand relationships between people and the environment, identifying and explaining different problems and issues and making geographical decisions that are supported by reasons, including sustainable approaches.
AO3 They select and use a variety of skills, and appropriate techniques and technologies to identify questions and issues to undertake investigations. They collect and record appropriate evidence from different sources, including fieldwork. They analyse and interpret evidence and recognise some of the limitations of evidence to reach plausible conclusions.
