  3. Background to the study 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

  4. 8way thinking 8way thinking In 2006 Ian Gilbert devised a thinking skills project called 8way thinking. 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.

  5. Outline of the task Module Title: Level 4 Geography Fieldwork Assignment: Pitlochry: a sense of place The human geography day consists of: Visit to a whisky distillery Compilation of a sense of place podcast in Pitlochry The 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 information To 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.

  6. Outline of task Good answers will exhibit a variety of characteristics, including: Recording detailed observations in podcast form Critical interpretation of observations Evidence of wider reading Evidence of engagement with the three themes definition and representation of place, questions of cultural identity and place and questions about global-local relations Evidence of engagement with three of the 8way thinking themes
