Creating Research Questions (NEA)
A series of key words students should consider when formulating their research questions for their NEA.
Levels of Independence in the NEA
A simple graph which can explain to students undertaking the NEA in which sections they should be working independently and where they might be able to collaborate.
Types of Data
This brief guide highlights to students the different types of data they might like to consider in geographical research. Each data type is described and an example of use in geographical research is given.

What is the data?
A worksheet designed to support students in becoming more independent as they start and complete their NEA.
Students are asked to define the different forms of data they may need to collect as part of their NEA. This encourages students to think more widely about the nature of data and how different forms of data might be collected independently.
Design the perfect field research
A worksheet designed to support students in becoming more independent as they start and complete their NEA.
Students are asked to design their perfect, no-limits fieldwork research for their NEA. Once teachers then give the parameters for the fieldwork, such as location and timescale, students then scale their ideas to work logistically. This activity encourages students to think big and take greater ownership with their research, improving their motivation to be independent.
Independent Title: Balloon Debate
A worksheet designed to support students in becoming more independent as they start and complete their NEA.
Students are asked to justify their choice of title via a balloon debate - the worksheet highlights some of the key areas that their justifications should cover. This enables students to see the relative strengths and weaknesses in each others’ titles and encourages them to make their NEA titles as strong as possible.
