Conduct geographic research with consultation
This standard asks you to run your own geographic research project about a real place or environment, collect your own data (like surveys or measurements), and present your findings using maps, graphs and diagrams. You'll need to explain what you found, connect it to geography concepts, and reflect on whether your research method was reliable.
You conduct the full research process from aim through to evaluation, collect primary data, present it properly with geographic conventions, analyse findings using geographic concepts, and assess how reliable your research method was.
You present your data effectively using correct terminology, analyse findings in detail by consistently linking them to geographic concepts, write detailed conclusions that fully address your aim, and thoroughly evaluate how your research method affected the validity of your findings.
You critically analyse findings by deeply incorporating geographic concepts, and critically evaluate your research process by discussing alternative methods you could have used and what impact those choices would have had on your results.
