Section B: Fieldwork
Question
- A. Determine the data collection methods
- B. Identify the enquiry questions or hypotheses
- C. Select the fieldwork location
- D. Gather secondary data sources
Answer
The correct answer is Identify the enquiry questions or hypotheses.
Explanation
The correct option is Identify the enquiry questions or hypotheses. Identify the enquiry questions or hypotheses is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to select appropriate physical and human data for a chosen enquiry. This belongs to Fieldwork within Section B: Fieldwork, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Fieldwork, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Data Selection Mistake
Students often select data that is not relevant to their geographical enquiry, leading to weak conclusions.
Ensure that the data chosen directly relates to the aims of the enquiry and supports the analysis.
