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 For Eduqas GCSE Geography qualifications this means students will not be assessed on their own fieldwork in Component 3, but they will still be assessed on ‘unfamiliar’ fieldwork. This means that the final questions on students own fieldwork in Part A and Part B of Component 3 will be removed. WJEC (Eduqas) encourages centres to undertake fieldwork with students wherever possible and practical. This will support learners’ understanding of the enquiry process and help to develop a range of fieldwork and geographical skills which may still be subject to assessment. These fieldwork experiences could involve data collection in the field and/or remotely and/or via the use of virtual fieldwork methods. 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. independently by applying geographical knowledge, understanding, skills and approaches appropriately and creatively to real world contexts. In so doing they should appreciate that geography can be ‘messy’ i.e. that real geography does not always match typical or predicted outcomes.

The enquiry approach taken by Eduqas GCSE Geography A, in both classroom and fieldwork contexts, should enable learners to develop the ability to think ‘like a geographer’. develop as critical and reflective learners, able to articulate opinions, suggest relevant new ideas and provide evidenced argument in a range of situations.
