Pilot GCSE - Specification
The Pilot GCSE specification is underpinned by five concepts: - Uneven development
- Globalisation
- Sustainability
- Futures
- Interdependence
It comprises a core and optional units (the core plus two optional units equates to a full GCSE award). The core has three sections: - My place – living in the UK today
- An extreme environment – exploring landscape and process
- People as Consumers – the impact of our decisions
The place-based unit is likely to relate to a centre's own location, nevertheless practitioners can share effective practice and resources via the Resourcespage.
Centres then choose from the following nine optional units. The links in this list allow you to download background information. The full requirements for each optional unit can be found in OCR’s Specification document. - Coastal management
Geographical information systems
Geography in the news
Travel and tourism destinations
Planning where we live
Urban transport for sustainability
Geography through fieldwork
Living with floods
Introducing Cultural GeographyEach section and optional unit develops the elements of the underlying concepts. The challenge of the specification is to support candidates in refining and progressing their conceptual understandings and to support their deep geographical learning. |
