3.2.1.2 Global systems
Issues associated with interdependence including how unequal flows of people, money, ideas and technology within global systems can sometimes act to promote stability, growth and development but can also cause inequalities, conflicts and injustices for people and places.

Learning outcomes
This lesson will help students to understand:

• what the effects are of the unequal flows of people, money, ideas and technology on countries.
• why these flows are unequal and why they predominantly ‘flow in one direction.

3.2.2.3 Meaning and representation
How places may be represented in a variety of different forms, such as advertising copy, tourist agency material and local art exhibitions in diverse media (eg film, photography, art, story, song, etc), that often give contrasting images to that presented formally or statistically, such as cartography and census data.

3.2.2.2.2 Quantitative and qualitative skills

• Students must engage with a range of quantitative and qualitative approaches across the theme as a whole.
• Quantitative data, including the use of geospatial data, must be used to investigate and present place characteristics, particular weight must be given to qualitative approaches involved in representing place, and to analysing critically the impacts of different media on place meanings and perceptions.
• The use of different types of data should allow the development of critical perspectives on the data categories and approaches.

Learning outcomes
This lesson will help students to understand:

• The difference between accuracy and reliability of data.
• How statistics can sometimes be misleading.
• The origins and uses of census data.
• The application of Geographical Information System (GIS) in the study of place.

Suggested timing

Learning outcomes
This lesson will help students to understand:

• The different sources of energy found in coastal environments.
• How wind impacts wave types and coastal processes.
• The differences between constructive and destructive waves.
• The different characteristics of low and high energy coasts.
