(c) counts such as pedestrian and traffic counts;
(d) Measurement techniques appropriate to river, beach, and weather studies
(Syllabus Theme 2.1 and 2.2).
(e) Methods used to process and to present data obtained by these enquiry skills
will also be tested.
These methods will include both cartographical techniques and statistical tech
niques. Enquiry skills and presentation skills are to be studied against the
background of the range of other aspects involved in field work. Questions
may involve the aims of particular studies and in this context will include,
for example, the development of suitable hypotheses appropriate to specific
topics. An ability to analyse data collected and to formulate conclusions, as
required by Assessment Objectives B and C, will be examined in this paper.
