Coastal Environments CPD – Erosional Erosion, Coastal Management, Deposition and Fieldwork on the Holderness Coast develop their knowledge of locations, places, processes and environments, at all geographical scales from local to global across the specification as a whole

WJEC (Eduqas) does encourage centres to undertake fieldwork ‘in the field’ with students where possible. This will support learners’ understanding of the fieldwork process and develop skills which are still being assessed. Fieldwork and enquiry skills should continue to be integrated into the programme of study; these experiences could involve data collection remotely and/or the use of virtual fieldwork methods. This is also essential for progression to GCE Geography. Talk. Talk to friends, family and teachers. You are not alone. These people are there to support you and may have a different perspective to help you get through this time. creatively, for example, by posing questions that relate to geographical processes and concepts that include questioning about spatial pattern and geographical change Direct access to our subject specialists who are on hand to give guidance and advice, with no call centres.This specification builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills established at GCSE Geography A or GCSE Geography B For Eduqas AS Geography this means students will not be assessed on their own fieldwork in Section B of Component 2, but they will still be assessed on ‘unfamiliar’ fieldwork. As a result, questions 4 and 5 will be removed from the examination paper. There are no previous learning requirements for this specification. Any requirements set for entry to a course based on this specification are at the school/college’s discretion. This specification builds on subject content which is typically taught at key stage 3 and is designed in such a way as to ensure progression in the following ways: Direct access to our subject specialist for support and guidance when delivering this qualification

As you may have already seen, geography is a subject that is usually split into two strands: physical geography (which studies natural events and processes) and human geography (which studies manmade events and processes). In the physical geography component of your course, you will learn about the challenge of natural hazards; the living world; and, physical landscapes in the UK. Meanwhile, in The course covers the required subject content at an appropriate level of rigour and challenge for a GCE A level qualification. The content is organised into the required core and non-core themes. The non-core content is presented as one compulsory theme and a series of optional themes based on contemporary issues in geography. These non-core themes allow for rigour and in-depth treatment and also provide flexibility for teachers to select themes to develop a course of study suited both to their interests and circumstances. The specialised concepts and geographical skills (quantitative and qualitative skills and approaches) as noted below in the aims and objectives are embedded in the core and non-core content. The Eduqas A level in Geography requires learners to: Revision distractions are everywhere. From Snapchat to Netflix it’s easy to lose focus and become distracted when you’re scheduled to revise. So, turn off your phone, TV and console and get on. Reward yourself after you’ve put some effort in. Staying Healthy improve their understanding of the ways in which values, attitudes and circumstances have an impact on the relationships between people, place and environment, and develop the knowledge and ability to engage, as citizens, with the questions and issues arisingbroadening and deepening understanding of locational contexts, including greater awareness of the importance of scale and the concept of global scientifically by collecting and recording appropriate evidence from a range of sources, including fieldwork, before critically assessing the validity of this evidence and synthesising their findings to reach evidenced conclusions that relate to the initial aim of their enquiry At A level, the NEA is retained. Primary and secondary data collection should be included in the students’ investigation. It is acceptable for primary data to be collected without “going into the field”, students can make use of technology to collect data by remote means. In this context, the “field” can include desk-based studies if there is an element of primary data collection. A balance between primary and secondary data has not been defined for past cohorts and this remains the same for 2022. develop their understanding of, and ability to apply, the concepts of place, space, scale and environment, that underpin both the national curriculum and GCSE, including developing a more nuanced understanding of these concepts

understand the fundamental role of fieldwork as a tool to understand and generate new knowledge about the real world, and become skilled at planning, undertaking and evaluating fieldwork in appropriate situations The Eduqas GCSE Geography A develops an enquiry approach to the study of geographical information, issues and concepts. It is based on the principle that geographical education should enable learners to become critical and reflective thinkers by engaging them actively in the enquiry process. Content is organised around key questions and learners should develop the ability to pose geographical questions of their own. Fieldwork is an essential aspect of geographical education and of this qualification. It is placed at the heart of this specification and teachers should embed fieldwork within any programme of study that they create. Learners should consolidate and extend their understanding of geographical concepts learned in the classroom by engaging with enquiries conducted outside of the classroom and school grounds. Furthermore, they should be challenged to apply what they have learned through specific fieldwork in local contexts to the wider context of UK geography. enhancing competence in a range of intellectual and communication skills, including the formulation of arguments, that include elements of synthesis and evaluation of material. Please note that centres are not required to submit the 2-day fieldwork declaration (AS) or the 4-day fieldwork declaration (A level) in 2022. recognise and be able to analyse the complexity of people-environment interactions at all geographical scales, and appreciate how these underpin understanding of some of the key issues facing the world today.An unique approach to fieldwork – providing methodological and conceptual frameworks for field enquiries in each assessment series, designed to help students move from relying on framed enquiries to becoming independent learners. It’s essential you stay healthy, both physically and mentally, as you prepare for your exams. Preparing for exams is stressful so you need to look after yourself. Simple steps to keep yourself healthy include: The Eduqas A level Geography specification encourages learners to apply geographical knowledge, theory and skills to the world around them. In turn this will enable learners to develop a critical understanding of the world’s people, places and environments in the 21st century. Learners should be able to develop both knowledge and understanding of contemporary geographical concepts together with transferable skills that will enable learners to progress to higher education and a range of employment opportunities. Ofqual has decided to carry forward the arrangements that were put in place for 2021 to 2022 for AS/A level Geography.
