Advanced Higher Geography

This week we'll cover the first of our inferential statistical techniques. Pearson's Product is the most powerful test we learn and is useful when trying to determine if there's a relationship between two sets of data.

It's might seem daunting, but if you follow each step you'll be able to get a correct result. Most successful Geographical Studies use an inferential statistical technique such as Pearson's Product.

This week we'll spend some time (indoors - it's December!) learning about how to design interviews and questionnaires. We'll cover:

• When an interview or questionnaire is most appropriate

• Structured, semi-structured and informal interviews

• Closed and open questions

• Quantitative and qualitative date

• How to structure both interviews and questionnaires to encourage helpful responses

We'll use resources from the Open University and the RGS to support our learning.
