CAPE® SUBJECT SBA REQUIREMENT ADMINISTRATION DECISION

GEOGRAPHY However, where VFTs are used and students
(cont’d) did not actually go into the field, this must be
stated in the methodology. CXC® will clearly
define VFT and what is expected for a
Geography VFT.
3. Conduct field trips in very small groups. This
might require more trips, if the teacher is

leading the field trips Small groups would
facilitate COVID safety protocols being
maintained. If the students are on their own
in the field, with the teacher guiding remotely,
then clear instructions and guidance are
critical.
4. Have the students undertake their filed work
within their communities to limit the need for
travelling or working in large groups.
5. Design questionnaires using Google forms or
Survey Monkey and send out via email or
social media.

6. Use telephone or online meeting platforms
such as Zoom to host interviews.
7. Consider field projects based on relevant
topics from the human and economic
geography sections of the syllabus e.g.
changes in settlement patterns, urban land
uses, factors of industrial location,
commercial activities.
8. Projects would still be expected to display the
students’ spatial awareness skills, so sketch
maps are still important, in addition to
pictures. While students can use Google
Earth, maps must be drawn, clearly annotated

and not just copied from Google Earth.
