Aims & Hypothesis | Geography for GCSE/IGCSE - Year 11 PDF Download

Aims & Hypothesis

  • Fieldwork revolves around investigating a 'real life' issue, connecting it to the syllabus content, and then applying it to a specific location.
  • Every fieldwork activity commences with establishing aims and hypotheses.
  • Aims clarify the purpose of the investigation. For instance, examining changes in beach shapes at Mappleton Beach or assessing the effects of constructing a wind farm in rural Lincolnshire.
  • Hypotheses must be precise, directional, and measurable. They are statements open to testing, like "River discharge increases with distance from the River Dove's source" or "Environmental quality improves with distance from a new housing estate in Swanland, East Yorkshire."
  • Aims and hypotheses can draw from existing knowledge on the subject. For example, considering Bradshaw's model in river studies.
