Fieldwork is an important aspect of geography and helps develop an array of useful life skills. Fieldwork can be challenging, informative, sometimes messy but often a lot of fun. It allows students to explore issues and questions in a real-world context and to question their own findings. It nurtures analytical and critical thinking and helps to build resilience.
Take a look at our fieldwork videos and explore our free resources to help develop the skills you will need.

Bobby Seagull, maths teacher, author, TV presenter and Chair of the Power of Maths Roundtable gives his take on maths anxiety.
At the Geographical Association (GA) conference in April 2019, Pearson polled geography teachers to find out what they felt was the most important skill their students would need in the future to be successful. The results clearly show that ‘critical thinking’ is the most important key skill that their students will need in the future to be successful. As a result of this poll Pearson asked me to share my thoughts about critical thinking and to provide some tips and tricks to help develop high-order thinking skills.
