I. Pre-fieldwork discussion
1. What is your group's hypothesis?
2. How did you plan to carry out the data collection to test the hypothesis?
II. Analysing and presentation of data collected:
1. Start from review of your inquiry hypotheses
What is the purpose of your study?
2. Study the data you have collected as well as your graphs. Numbers and pictures have meaning.
Do you see any patterns in the data? (e.g. Chinese cultural elements in Chinatown are a blend of the cultural practices of the Chinese, local ethnicities and western influences as seen in the evidence gathered from land transect)
Do the patterns differ for the various streets of Chinatown?
3. Does the data support or not support your hypotheses?
· In what ways does the data support or not support your hypotheses?
· Are there any other emerging patterns or anomalies to your data?
4. Explain your findings.
a) Suggest some reasons why your hypotheses was supported or not supported, based on your knowledge, experience and any prior research you have done.
b) Are there any limitations to your data and evaluation?
You can refer to this post for how you can present your data: http://geogshare.blogspot.sg/search/label/Tourism
III. Post-field work reflection
Methods
What challenges did you face during the collection of data? How did you resolve them?
What is lacking in your data? What new data would you have collected?
Presentation of Data
· Based on your purpose and inquiry question, why did you choose these methods to represent your data?
· Are there any other ways of doing so? How would it have affected your analysis and interpretation?
Analysis and Interpretation of Data
How would you improve the analysis of data the next time?
What is still puzzling you?
