First year BA and BSc undergraduates had had
two separate lectures on place before the fieldwork – the first discussing Rose’s ideas.
The second discussing ideas by Massey and Harvey
8way thinkingIn 2006 Ian Gilbert devised a thinking skills project called
8waythinking. He drew on Multiple Intelligence Theory (Gardner
1993, 1999, 2004) and the Philosophy for Children approach to
produce a ‘multidimensional polycognitive enquiry tool’ (Gilbert 2006
p. 17)
In this work it gave students a framework for their questions, helping them to approach strangers.
Module Title: Level 4 Geography FieldworkAssignment: Pitlochry: a sense of placeThe human geography day consists of:Visit to a whisky distilleryCompilation of a sense of place podcast in PitlochryThe podcast will be assessed at the end of the day by the staff. The aims of the assessment are:To experience human geography field methodologies including observation and synthesising informationTo connect theory and lecture materials to observation in the field.To examine place using the framework of ‘8way thinking’, acknowledging that sense of place can be experienced in a number of different ways. To produce a podcast of a sense of place of Pitlochry and to present this for assessment at the end of the day’s work.
Good answers will exhibit a variety of characteristics, including:Recording detailed observations in podcast formCritical interpretation of observationsEvidence of wider readingEvidence of engagement with the three themes definition and representation of place, questions
ofcultural identity and place and questions about global-local relationsEvidence of engagement with three of the 8way thinking themes
