Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Fieldwork data can be used in purposeful ways, such as making informed recommendations for change
  2. We can think about possible, probable and preferred futures: how can we apply this thinking to our locality?
  3. An effective enquiry cycle evaluates how useful it has been and what the next steps might be

Common misconception

Recommendations might not have been enacted or responded to but the enquiry was not a failure

Highlight the cost of enacting changes and the restrictions on budgets and resources.

Keywords

  • Purposeful - Something that is purposeful is done on purpose to achieve an aim.

  • Preferred - Something that is preferred is liked or wanted more than the other options.

  • Futures - Futures are periods of time that are yet to come.

  • Presentation - A presentation is a talk that gives information about something.

  • Evaluate - To evaluate is to form an opinion or judgement on something after considering it carefully.

A follow up to this unit could be enacting some of the recommendations. For example, it would be nice to undertake a litter pick around the local area. You could then repeat the fieldwork and assess the impact of the change.
