Fieldwork: Presenting survey data
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can present survey data using a range of data presentation techniques.
Key learning points
- Fieldwork data can be presented using graphs and maps.
- Where a comparison is needed, the data presentation technique needs to allow any comparison to be seen.
- Spatial data is best shown on a map.
- All graphs need a title and labelled axis so that they can be read easily.
Keywords
Data presentation - Data presentation is the graphical way that data is shown to help the reader better understand it.
Spatial data - Spatial data is data that has a distinct location associated with it.
Bar chart - A bar chart is a form of data presentation where bars are drawn to represent the size of a piece of data.
Radial graph - A radial graph is a type of data presentation in which scaled data can be presented.
Common misconception
The purpose of data presentation is to make the data more attractive.
The purpose of data presentation is to allow geographers to identify patterns and relationships in the data.
Teacher tip
Model the drawing of graphs in real time with students so they can appreciate the time and attention to detail required.
