Rural 3 - Results Flashcards
Which of your results are quantitative (numbers) and which are qualitative (words)?
Quantitative (numbers) = EQS, Quality of Life Survey, Sphere of Influence (reg plates), Function Change
Qualitative (words) = Place check
Which of your results use discrete data (categories) and which show continuous data?
All our data for rural fieldwork was discrete since we were comparing 2 places
Why would we need to know whether the results are based on discrete or continuous data?
It helps us to decide which type of graph to use to display that data. Bar charts are best for discrete and line graphs are best for continuous.
What is the main disadvantage of using a chart/graph to display your results?
They lack spatial information - better if you plotted results /charts on top of a map to see the patterns
What should you include in your diagram when displaying your results?
Clearly labelled with scale and axes, annotations explain why the method is appropriate, they link to the enquiry question and show the impact of the results clearly.
How did you present your results about ‘sense of place’ / Place Check (the 10 words)
Word Cloud / Wordle
What was the modal word you used to describe Chillington?
Modern
What the modal word you used to describe Slapton?
Isolated
What is a modal word?
The ‘average’ word that came up the most often
What did the word clouds say about the difference between Slapton and Chillington?
Your first impression of Chillington was much more positive
Did we all have the same opinion of Slapton/Chillington?
No - you all had different opinion bases. But you did have two word clouds from the same class, so they were comparable.
Because you had 27 different opinions: it is less subjective. Why? Any extreme views in a large dataset are lessenned (they are less impactful)
