Description of activity
In this activity students work with the results of a class survey on the impacts of technological change. Having collated data, students construct graphs, interpret data and communicate their findings on a scaffolded worksheet (Worksheet 3 – Survey summary and analysis). This activity may take approximately 30 minutes.
Context
This assessment for learning activity occurs in a unit on Global Change (4G3). Students are learning about globalisation, how technology has changed over time and the impacts of technological change. Students are also learning to use information gathered in surveys. They will have examined survey methodologies, interview techniques and methods and conventions of graph construction. After designing and conducting a survey, students will bring the results to class where they are collated, interpreted and communicated.
Areas for Assessment
Outcomes
A student:
4.1 identifies and gathers geographical information
4.2 organises and interprets geographical information
4.3 uses a range of written, oral and graphic forms to communicate geographical information
4.7 identifies and discusses geographical issues from a range of perspectives.
Criteria for assessing learning
(These criteria would normally be communicated to students with the activity.)
Students will be assessed on their ability to:
- construct graphs using the appropriate conventions
- accurately represent survey data
- identify and describe a range of technological changes
- discuss technological change from a range of perspectives.
