Choosing fieldwork methods
In this Geography video, teachers are supported in helping the children choose the most suitable data collection methods for their fieldwork enquiry. Building on their selected enquiry question from the previous lesson, the children consider the data they need to gather and which techniques will help them answer their question most effectively.
The video explores how the children can evaluate different perspectives, such as the opinions of residents, shopkeepers, commuters or tourists. It encourages them to think critically about who their data sources should be. Teachers are guided on supporting the children to design their own data collection templates and to review and adjust any sensitive questions before fieldwork begins.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Geography fieldwork videos. It supports teachers to develop confident, inquiry-based learning experiences that connect pupils with real-world issues in their local area.
