Answers

A-Level Geography H1 Quiz - Fieldwork: Answer Key

Topic: Fieldwork
Total Marks: 40
Level: A-Level H1

Section A Answers (Q1–8)

Q1 [2 marks]
Answer: One defining feature is that Cluster 2 fieldwork focuses on either community response to climate change OR needs analysis of the elderly living in an urban neighbourhood (syllabus-prescribed focus).
Teaching note: The 2023 H1 syllabus specifies only these two foci for Fieldwork; unlike open topics in Cluster 1, students must study one of these. Mark awarded for naming the specific focus.

Q2 [2 marks]
Answer: Face-to-face allows clarification for elderly who may have low literacy or hearing issues; builds rapport and improves response quality.
Teaching note: Elderly respondents may struggle with written/online forms; personal contact increases completion and accuracy.

Q3 [2 marks]
Answer: Informed consent must be obtained before interview/survey.
(Other acceptable: anonymity, confidentiality, right to withdraw.)
Teaching note: Ethical fieldwork protects vulnerable groups; consent is foundational.

Q4 [2 marks]
Answer: Schedule visits at non-rest hours (avoid meal/Medical times); or use quiet public spaces for interviews.
Teaching note: Minimising social impact is part of AO1 fieldwork skills.

Q5 [2 marks]
Answer: Survey responses / interview transcripts / observational field notes.
Teaching note: Primary data collected directly by students; not from books.

Q6 [2 marks]
Answer: Semi-structured interviews allow follow-up probes, revealing deeper context than fixed closed questions.
Teaching note: Flexibility yields qualitative depth.

Q7 [2 marks]
Answer: Trip/fall hazard on home visits; or fatigue of respondent.
Teaching note: Risk assessment is required before fieldwork.

Q8 [2 marks]
Answer: Use stratified sampling by age band or block to reflect neighbourhood profile.
Teaching note: Representativeness reduces bias.

Section B Answers (Q9–14)

Q9 [4 marks]
Strength [2]: Interviews give rich qualitative detail on why residents respond to climate change as they do (e.g., personal coping).
Limitation [2]: Small number (10) limits generalisability; interviewer bias possible.
Marking: 2+2; accept any valid pair.

Q10 [4 marks]
Pattern [2]: Scores rise with age (2.1 → 3.4 → 4.2), showing transport difficulty increases for older elderly.
Reason [2]: Physical mobility declines with age; fewer can walk to MRT/bus.
Teaching note: Table in Q10-fig1 must show exact values; pattern description must reference numbers.

Q11 [4 marks]
(i) [2] Randomise question order for sensitive items.
(ii) [2] Use neutral wording; avoid leading phrases like "climate change is scary".
Teaching note: Bias reduction is AO2.

Q12 [4 marks]
Limitation [4]: Spatial bias – results unrepresentative of whole neighbourhood; north-east only may miss flood/heat issues elsewhere. Map Q12-fig1 shows all sites in NE quadrant, confirming cluster.
Marking: 4 for clear spatial bias explanation linked to map.

Q13 [3 marks]
Method [1]: Bar chart (or histogram).
Reason [2]: Shows count per age group clearly for categorical age data.
Teaching note: Correct graph type for age bands.

Q14 [3 marks]
Answer [3]: Pilot test reveals confusing questions, estimates time, and improves validity before full rollout.
Teaching note: Piloting is standard AO1 method improvement.

Section C Answers (Q15–20)

Q15 [3 marks]
Frame [1]: Residents Committee elderly roster.
Reason [2]: Official list covers local elderly, enabling systematic sample.
Marking: 1+2.

Q16 [4 marks]
% = (40/100)×100 = 40% [2].
Explanation [2]: Shows behavioural adaptation to heat; relevant as climate-change response indicator.
Teaching note: Calculation must show division and ×100.

Q17 [4 marks]
Usefulness [4]: Photo shows real impact (void deck flood) → concrete evidence of local climate effect [2]; but single image lacks frequency, cause, resident perception → limited for community response [2]. Image Q17-fig1 must show flood depth mark.
Marking descriptors: 4 = notes both strength and limit with photo link.

Q18 [4 marks]
(i) [2] Use large-print or read-aloud format.
(ii) [2] Replace written scale with verbal showcard (happy/sad face).
Teaching note: Accessibility modification.

Q19 [4 marks]
Test [2]: Compare survey need scores across estate types (t-test or mean diff).
Limitation [2]: Self-report may miss hidden poverty in private estates; small n.
Teaching note: Method must be concrete.

Q20 [5 marks]
Strengths [3, 1.5 each]: (1) Mixed method triangulates perception with rainfall data; (2) Spatial link to low-lying blocks shows environment effect.
Weakness [2]: Survey n=120 may miss non-respondents; rainfall alone not full climate response.
Marking: 5 total; level-style concise.
