The aim of this digital resource is to guide you or your students through the steps involved in creating a good geographical enquiry title.
Each section builds on the contents of the previous one to lead to the generation of a suitable enquiry title.
The resource also assists in the identification of what data needs to be collected, the methodology and sampling strategies as well as how the data can be presented and analysed.
Activities are included in the resource to guide you to ask questions about what you are doing and why it is relevant to the enquiry title you are considering.
Each section includes text boxes into which content necessary for the enquiry planning sheet will be entered by the participant. This information can then be printed off and used in the planning stage of the enquiry process.
Additional information on specific terminology can be accessed by rolling over words which are in bold and underlined.
Nod yr adnodd digidol hwn yw eich tywys chi neu'ch myfyrwyr drwy'r camau i'w dilyn i lunio teitl da ar gyfer ymholiad daearyddol.
Mae pob adran yn seiliedig ar gynnwys yr adran flaenorol er mwyn arwain at lunio teitl addas ar gyfer yr ymholiad.
Mae'r adnodd hefyd yn helpu i nodi pa ddata y mae angen eu casglu, y fethodoleg a'r strategaethau samplu, yn ogystal â sut y gellir cyflwyno a dadansoddi'r data.
Mae'r adnodd yn cynnwys gweithgareddau i'ch helpu i ofyn cwestiynau am yr hyn rydych yn ei wneud a pham ei fod yn berthnasol i deitl yr ymholiad rydych yn ei ystyried.
Mae pob adran yn cynnwys blychau testun y bydd y cyfranogwr yn eu defnyddio i nodi'r cynnwys sydd ei angen ar gyfer taflen cynllunio'r ymholiad. Wedyn, gellir argraffu'r wybodaeth hon a'i defnyddio yn ystod cam cynllunio'r broses ymholi.
Gellir dod o hyd i wybodaeth ychwanegol am derminoleg benodol drwy rolio dros unrhyw eiriau sydd mewn print du ac wedi'u tanlinellu.
The most common way to start to plan your enquiry is by deciding if you are interested in a Location or a specific Geographical context. You need to have both but you can start with either one.
Y ffordd fwyaf cyffredin o ddechrau eich ymholiad yw drwy benderfynu a ydych am ddewis Lleoliad neu Gyd-destun daearyddol penodol. Mae angen y ddau arnoch ond gallwch ddechrau gyda'r naill neu'r llall.
Geographical context can be described by specific Geography words, for example processes or concepts. Look through the five Geography words below and decide which word(s) help explain your Geographical context.
Gellir disgrifio cyd-destun daearyddol gan ddefnyddio geiriau Daearyddiaeth penodol, er enghraifft prosesau neu gysyniadau. Edrychwch drwy'r pum gair Daearyddiaeth isod a phenderfynwch pa air / pa eiriau sy'n helpu i esbonio eich cyd-destun Daearyddol.

Gwybodaeth bellachDeciding what type of enquiry question(s) you are going to create will give you a framework to help plan. You will need to decide which of the five categories your location and geographical area of interest best fit into.
You may find you want to blend two types of enquiry; this is possible but you will need to be sure that you have a specific justification for this, otherwise the investigation may get too large and unfocused.
Bydd penderfynu pa fath o gwestiwn (cwestiynau) ymholi rydych yn bwriadu ei lunio (eu llunio) yn rhoi fframwaith i chi er mwyn helpu i gynllunio. Bydd angen i chi benderfynu pa un o'r pum categori sy'n gweddu orau i'r lleoliad a'r ardal ddaearyddol dan sylw.
Mae'n bosibl y byddwch yn penderfynu yr hoffech gyfuno dau fath o ymholiad; gellir gwneud hynny, ond bydd angen i chi wneud yn siŵr bod gennych gyfiawnhad penodol dros wneud hyn, neu gallai'r ymchwiliad fynd yn rhy fawr a cholli ei ffocws.
Warning! This resource is not optimised for use on mobile devices.
Rhybudd! Ni ellir defnyddio’r adnodd yma ar ffonau symudol neu dabled.
There are 5 different types of enquiry. Match the type of enquiry question to the definitions by dragging each one to its correct location.
Mae pump gwahanol fath o ymholiad. Parwch y math o gwestiwn ymholi â'r diffiniadau drwy lusgo pob un i'w leoliad cywir.
Well done. You have matched them all correctly.
Da iawn. Rydych wedi paru pob un yn gywir.
Descriptive | This enquiry is focused on identifying what is happening through detailed description of the characteristics and/or behaviour of the sample population. |
Comparative | A known geographical model or theory is compared with a specific location or time frame to analyse how applicable the model is. Alternatively, two different locations could be compared. |
Explanatory | Primary focus is to explain relationships. Usually attempts to explain how the different variables relate to each other and asks why this happens. Often used to identify the extent and nature of cause and affect relationships. |
Exploratory | Exploration of a situation or problem. Usually identifies key issues affecting a situation. Purpose is to understand more about the situation or problem. Often leads to further research. |
Experiment | Uses control of variables to test the independent variable. Often uses hypothesis. Effects of variables are usually reduced in fieldwork by taking measurements at sites where significant dependent variables are similar. |

You need some primary and secondary data to help you answer your enquiry, it could be qualitative or quantitative.
Your data is likely to be a sample of all the possible available data.
Bydd angen rhywfaint o ddata sylfaenol ac eilaidd arnoch i'ch helpu i ateb eich ymholiad, gallai fod yn ddata ansoddol neu feintiol.
Fwy na thebyg y bydd eich data yn cynnwys sampl o'r holl ddata posibl sydd ar gael.
Click on the button on the right to see your draft sub-questions. Identify the words that are relevant to collecting data. These are likely to be the Geography words that you choose for your sub-questions, which came from your mind-map. Remember you can go back to previous stages of the process to refine your answers, for example if you can’t identify variables from your question then refine your questions.
Now complete the table, an example has been done already.
Which age group has the most positive perceptions of X in the summer?
What information and evidence do you need to collect to answer your question?
This should link directly to the highlighted words in your title and sub-question.
Age groups into under 16, 16-21. 21-35. 35-50, over 50, so that a variety of age groups can be identified.
Perceptions of what people think about X, so I can see if X is more likely to appeal to a specific age group.
Which surveys, measurements or observations are you doing?
Give instructions that others could follow. Is it a group effort or on your own?
Questions using a Likert scale asking about feelings, environment and enjoyment.
Likert scale survey allows a range of perceptions from negative to positive.
Where are you going to stand to collect your data? Which website(s) will you use?
Along the main visitor centre walkway in X
You can’t measure everything, so what method are you going to use to decide what you can measure? Why pick this method?
Random sampling using number tables, as this helps eliminate bias, is simple and everyone passing has an equal chance of selection.
Have you got a data recording sheet that will enable you to record often and how many measurements you take?
What might go wrong with the plan? How could you overcome this while you are collecting your data? How will you record what you did?
Age groups might not be represented equally. Some people asked might not stop to answer, so I will ask the next person after them. Might not reveal their age, so I will guess & note how many people I had to guess for.
Cliciwch ar y botwm ar y dde i weld eich is-gwestiynau drafft. Nodwch y geiriau sy'n berthnasol i gasglu data. Mae'n debygol mai'r geiriau Daearyddiaeth fydd y rhain y byddwch yn eu dewis ar gyfer eich is-gwestiynau, a ddaeth o'ch map meddwl. Cofiwch y gallwch fynd yn ôl i gamau blaenorol y broses i fireinio'ch atebion, er enghraifft os na allwch nodi newidynnau o'ch cwestiwn yna mireiniwch eich cwestiynau.
Nawr cwblhewch y tabl, gwnaed enghraifft i chi'n barod.
Pa grŵp oedran sydd â'r canfyddiadau mwyaf cadarnhaol o X yn yr haf?
Pa wybodaeth a thystiolaeth y mae angen i chi eu casglu er mwyn ateb eich cwestiwn?
Dylai hyn gysylltu'n uniongyrchol â'r geiriau a amlygwyd yn eich teitl a'ch is-gwestiwn.
Trefnwch eich grwpiau oedran i gynnwys o dan 16 oed, 16-21, 21-35, 35-50, dros 50, er mwyn gallu nodi amrywiaeth o grwpiau oedran.
Canfyddiadau o'r hyn y mae pobl yn ei feddwl am X, er mwyn imi allu gweld a yw X yn debygol o apelio fwy at grŵp oedran penodol.
Pa arolygon, mesuriadau neu arsylwadau rydych yn eu cynnal?
Rhowch gyfarwyddiadau y gallai eraill eu dilyn. Ai ymdrech grŵp ydyw neu chi ar eich pen eich hun?
Cwestiynau sy'n defnyddio graddfa Likert yn gofyn am deimladau, yr amgylchedd a mwynhad.
Mae arolygon graddfa Likert yn golygu y gellir nodi amrywiaeth o ganfyddiadau, o rai negyddol i rai cadarnhaol – gweler yr enghraifft yn yr atodiad.
Ble rydych yn bwriadu sefyll er mwyn casglu eich data? Pa wefan/wefannau y byddwch yn ei/eu defnyddio?
Ar hyd y prif lwybr drwy'r ganolfan ymwelwyr yn X.
Ni allwch fesur popeth, felly pa ddull rydych yn bwriadu ei ddefnyddio i benderfynu beth y gallwch ei fesur? Pam dewis y dull hwn?
Samplu ar hap gan ddefnyddio tablau rhif, gan fod y dull hwn yn helpu i ddileu tuedd, ei fod yn syml a bod gan bawb sy'n mynd heibio yr un siawns o gael eu dethol.
A oes gennych daflen cofnodi data a fydd yn eich galluogi i gofnodi pa mor aml rydych yn mesur a sawl mesuriad rydych yn eu gwneud?
Beth allai fynd o'i le â'r cynllun? Sut y gallech oresgyn hyn wrth i chi gasglu eich data? Sut y byddwch yn cofnodi'r hyn a wnaethoch?
Mae'n bosibl na chaiff grwpiau oedran eu cynrychioli'n gyfartal. Mae'n bosibl na fydd rhai o'r bobl y byddwch yn gofyn iddyn nhw yn aros i ateb, felly byddaf yn gofyn i'r person nesaf sy'n mynd heibio. Efallai na fyddan nhw'n datgelu eu hoedran, felly byddaf yn dyfalu ac yn nodi faint o bobl y bu'n rhaid i mi ddyfalu ar eu cyfer.
You will need to present your data so that you can analyse it and look for patterns which help you answer your enquiry question.
Data should be presented in a variety of Cartographical, Graphical, Pictorial, and GIS forms.
Your data needs to be presented using the appropriate method.
Bydd angen i chi gyflwyno eich data er mwyn i chi allu eu dadansoddi ac edrych am batrymau sy'n eich helpu i ateb eich cwestiwn ymholi.
Dylid cyflwyno data mewn amrywiaeth o ffurfiau Cartograffigol, Graffigol, Darluniadol, a GIS.
Mae angen cyflwyno eich data gan ddefnyddio'r dull priodol.
Use your Data Collection table to identify which data you need to present. Use your sub-questions to identify which variables you need to present (link) together.
Complete the table, an example has been done already.

Discrete – Data in which each field is unconnected to and does not affect the data in any other field. Each piece of data is independent of each other. e.g. a count of different types of traffic.
Continuous (Interval) – Data that is measurable on a scale where each value is equal distance apart from each other. e.g. a measure of the temperature of a site each hour.
Continuous (Ratio) – Data that is measurable on a scale where each value is an equal distance apart from each other and where the data has a definite ‘zero’ or end value. e.g. a measure of the height of different trees along a transect line.
Categorical (Binary) – Data that falls into one or two mutually exclusive categories. e.g. a count of responses to a questionnaire that requires either a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer.
Categorical (Ordinal) – Data that can be assigned to categories that have a rank or an order. e.g. a count of the responses to a survey question that asks respondents to rank something on a 1 to 5 scale.
Categorical (Nominal) – Data that can be assigned to categories that have no rank or order. e.g. a count of the number of individual plants of different species within a quadrat.
This is the relationship you want to try to show in your data presentation method.
