COURSE Geography (Intermediate 2)
During the Course at Intermediate 2 level emphasis is placed on providing geographical experiences
which lead candidates to an understanding of concepts, key ideas and relevant terminology. These
experiences also develop evaluative and investigative skills. At this level candidates are introduced to
a number of less familiar concepts and areal contexts. This is achieved through a set of Units with
different areal contexts and which focus on the identification of features and the processes involved in
their formation:
♦ Geography: Physical Environments Unit — this has a British Isles context and studies a selection
of landscape types.
♦ Geography: Human Environments Unit — this has a wider context and studies detailed examples
from economically more and less developed countries.
♦ Geography: Environmental Interactions Unit — this has a stronger emphasis on global issues and
evaluating of strategies adopted to manage these. The issues studied may have a bias toward
either the physical or human environment but they exemplify the interactions between these two
environmental types.
There are three mandatory Units in the Course:
♦ Geography: Physical Environments Unit — this has choice embedded within it insofar as centres
can choose which areas they wish to include as case studies.
♦ Geography: Human Environments Unit — this has choice embedded within it insofar as centres
can choose which areas they wish to include as case studies.
♦ Geography: Environmental Interactions Unit — this has a wider range of choice. In this Unit
centres are able to choose any two from a list of five environmental interactions and once that
choice has been made they can select the areal context and case study examples they wish to
cover.
A range of skills is included within all Units. These build on skills developed during previous study of
geography or other social subjects. The techniques may be taught through actual fieldwork, or
simulated fieldwork in the classroom. The application of selected methods and techniques to present,
interpret and analyse information will be part of the Course and Unit assessment. Opportunities
should be provided for candidates to make use of a range of maps, including Ordnance Survey (OS)
maps at a variety of scales. External assessment will use either 1:25000 or 1:50000 Ordnance Survey
maps. Further details of these skills are contained in Appendix 1 and in the specification for the Units
