Enquiry Skills
Enquiry skills can be broke up in to tow sections
GATHERING TECHNIQUES AND PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
At General level you’ll be asked to name a techniques and justify it with a reason
At Credit you’ll be asked to name a techniques and justify it with reasons.
Gathering Techniques
There are 6 gathering techniques1. Extracting information from maps2. Fielding sketching3. Measuring (rivers, weather)4. Recording observed information on a map5. Observing and recording, traffic flows,
weather)6. Compiling and using questionnaires
EXTRACTING INFORMATION FROM MAPS
Example: site of a settlement, land use changes, land use conflicts
Reasons for use: Maps are a good source of information, maps from different times can be used to show changes
FIELDSKETCHING
Examples: Industrial landscapes, river features
Reasons for use: It is more selective than a photograph, can be used to highlight important information, can be used against maps and photos of the past.
MEASURING
Examples, elements of the weather, river depth and flow.
Reasons: provides original data, source of accurate information, weather elements over time to show changes.
FIELDSKETCHING EXAMPLE
Looking to your right. (That’s the one opposite from the left or the window)
Draw a labelled sketch of the view from the classroom.
Features you need to pint out will include, types of housing, transportation links, recent activity.
Date and time your sketch.
RECORDING OBSERVED INFORMATION
Examples: differing land values/uses, sphere of influence of a town/shop
Reasons: a good way of storing observed information, can be stored and used for comparison of information.
OBSERVING AND RECORDING
Examples: Traffic flow, elements of the weather, quality of the environment.
Reasons: gathers information at the source, able to show environment quality, information can be processed, analysed and compared.
PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
Classifying, tabulating and matrixingDrawing graphs (bar, line, pie and scatter)Drawing MapsDrawing cross-sections/transectsAnnotating maps, graphs and field
sketches
Reasons for usingCalculating, Tabulating and Matrixing.
Easier to make sense of information Can be studies and compared to show trends Matrixing is a good way of storing information.
REASONS FOR DRAWING GRAPHS
Bar graphs – Used to compare information – Can be used with maps to combine information with location – Can be used to show +/- values
Line graphs – Show a trend or change over time – Show amount or rate of change, steepness and degree of change
Pie chart – Shows how the amounts are shared out – The relative importance of parts / sectors – Can be put on a map to aid comparison between places
Scatter graph – Way of testing connections between two sets of data
REASONS FOR ANNOTATING MAPS, GRAPHS AND FIELD SKETCHES.
Provide a sample of an area to bring out key features
Enhances information Can be used to name and identify
features Draw attention to relationships, patterns
