4.2 Term 3 – Research task  Two examples of typical research tasks are provided below.  4.2.1 Learner guidelines for conducting research  Research framework for assessment (Guideline on administration of research task) 

In choosing a topic for research, isolate topics in specific areas in the Geography CAPS content that you have studied  in Grade 12. 

4.2.2 Guidelines for research  Research Task   Step 1: Formulating a hypothesis/problem statement   As Geographers we seek to understand and explain the interactions amongst humans, and between humans and the  environment in space and time. This is achieved by asking questions or making informed geographical decisions. This  entails the development of a hypothesis or a problem statement to be tested. 

• You have to choose a specific area of study where a geographical problem exists.  
• During this stage, a geographical question showing a problem is asked. 
• Identify the problem from a local area. 
• Formulate a hypothesis or a problem statement. (Hypothesis research is used to prove that certain variables  are dependent on or independent of each other. Problem statement research is only to highlight that a specific  problem exists in a specific community.)  
• You should then follow the steps of research to ensure that the geographical question is answered.  

Other possible hypothesis-type research examples: 

• The value of property along north-facing slopes is higher than the value of property along south-facing slopes in  Meyersdal, Gauteng (choose local area).  
• The cause of rural-urban migration in Ndwedwe, KwaZulu-Natal (choose local area), is the lack of service delivery  in the health sector. 
• Climate change will impact negatively on grape farming and related industries in the Western Cape. 
• The closing down of many primary schools in Lusikisiki (Eastern Cape) (choose a local area) is due to a decline  of the population in the age group 7 to 15 years. 
• The poor condition of roads (specify the names of the roads) leading to/in Harrismith, Free State (choose local  area), is due to the lack of proper planning by the local municipality. 
• The impact of building a dam along the Jukskei River in Gauteng (choose local area) upstream of Alexandra will  reduce flooding and the subsequent loss of life in Alexandra. 
• The e-toll system will impact negatively on the economic position of people using private transport in Gauteng. 
• The e-toll system will impact positively on traffic flow to the major urban centres in Gauteng. 
• Informal settlements in the Vhembe district of Limpopo have low levels of development due to the lack of provision  of basic needs (choose ONE informal settlement in your local area). 
• Overcrowding of informal settlements is due to the lack of proper planning by the local government (choose local  area). 

Step 2: Background information about an area of study 

• You must explain where in South Africa the study area is located. (This can be indicated on the map.)
• Describe the study area in terms of its exact position (degrees, minutes and seconds). 
• Provide relevant information about the area, for example population of the area or climate of the area. 

Step 3: Mapping 

• You must provide a map of the area in question. 
• During this stage you must create a buffer zone around the area where the geographical problem exists. 
• The map should have a clear legend/key and must be drawn to scale. The scale must be indicated on the map.
• If the map used covers a wider area, buffer zones around the area of study should be created.
• The map used should be the most recent map of the study area. 

Step 4: Methods of data collection 

• The use of questionnaires
• Observations
• Field trips
• Newspaper articles
• Government department statistics

Step 5: Analysis and synthesis of data 

• Use collected data now to formulate a discussion around the existing geographical problem. 
• At this stage you should represent some of the information graphically where necessary, for example graphs and  sketches. 
• Analyse graphic information during this stage. 

Step 6: Recommendations and possible solutions 

• You should now make recommendations to solve the geographical problem in question. 
• You should present your original and realistic opinions as far as you possibly can.  

Step 7: Conclusion – accept or reject the hypothesis 

• You should now take a decision to either ACCEPT or REJECT the hypothesis. 
• Give reasons for either ACCEPTING or REJECTING the hypothesis.

Step 8: Bibliography 

• You must include a comprehensive bibliography. 
• List websites in full. 
• You must include annexures of questionnaires and interviews conducted. 

Step 9: Submission 

• You must include graphs, tables, diagrams and pictures where necessary. 
• On submission, ensure that a suitable cover page is included. 

4.2.3 Compiling a bibliography for a research task 

• For a book: Author (last name, initials). Title of Book (Publishers, Date of publication). Example: Dahl, R. The BFG. (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1982). 
• For an encyclopaedia: Encyclopaedia Title , Edition date. Volume number, ˈArticle Titleˈ, page number(s). Example: Encyclopaedia Britannica , 1997. Volume 7, ˈGorillasˈ, pp. 50–51. 
• For a magazine: Author (last name first), ˈArticle Titleˈ. Name of Magazine . Volume number, (Date): page number(s). Example: Jordan, Jennifer, ˈFilming at the Top of the Worldˈ. Museum of Science Magazine . Volume 47, No. 1, (Winter 1998): p. 11. 
• For a newspaper:  Author (last name first), ˈArticle Titleˈ. Name of Newspaper. City, state publication. (Date): Edition if available, Section,  page number(s). Example: Powers, Ann, ˈNew Tune for the Material Girlˈ. The New York Times . New York, NY.  (3/1/98): Atlantic Region, Section 2, p. 34. 
• For a website: Quote the name of the website in full and underline. Example:  http://www.sahistory.org.za/topic/womens-struggle-1900-1994
• For a person:  Full name (last name first). Occupation, date of interview. Example: Smeckleburg, Sweets. Bus driver. 1 April 1996.

4.2.4 Proposed cover page for a research task 

STATEMENT OF AUTHENTICITY  I hereby declare that ALL pieces of writing contained in this research task are my own original work and that if  I made use of any source, I have duly acknowledged it.  

Learner’s signature: __________________________________ Date: _____________

4.2.5 Exemplar: Research task 1 

• Curriculum content: Key human-environment interactions in urban areas: People and places – inner-city problems 
• One (1) research task must be done. 

Compile your research by completing the activities outlined below. 

Step 1: Formulate the hypothesis/problem statement 

• Formulate your own hypothesis based on a problem you have identified, for example: The increasing number of informal settlements (choose localised informal settlement) in and around urban areas in  South Africa has resulted in higher crime rates within the inner city due to higher unemployment. (Focus: More people  in surrounding informal settlements result in unemployment causing people to turn to crime.)  

Step 2: Background information about the study area  Give a brief introduction and description (background information) of the city (study area) you have selected in terms of: 

• Historical background 
• Population 
• Description of the location of informal settlements in relation to the inner city 
• Other relevant statistical information 
• Provide a map showing the position of the informal settlement in relation to the city that you have identified for  your research task. (It is easier to choose your local area as an area of study.) 
• The map should clearly indicate buffer zones where informal settlements are located.
• The map should include areas of the city that are regarded as crime ˈhotspotsˈ. 
• The map must have a clear legend/key. 
• The scale of the map must be indicated.

Step 4: Data collection  Collect data using at least THREE methods, for example: 

• Questionnaires 
• Interviews 
• Field trips 
• Photographs and maps 
• Literature research (newspapers, magazines, books, et cetera) 
• Internet research 
• Analyse the data that you have collected, and formulate a report on your findings. Support your findings with  graphs, photos, et cetera. 
• Briefly discuss how the existence of informal settlements contributes to crime in the inner city. 
• Briefly discuss the contribution of high unemployment rates in the informal settlement to crime in the inner city. 

Step 6: Recommendations and solutions 

• Provide suitable recommendations and solutions to the problem. 

Step 7: Conclusion – accept or reject the hypothesis  

• Based on your findings in Step 5, you may either ACCEPT or REJECT the hypothesis. 
• Give reasons for your conclusion. 
• Compile a bibliography for your research. If you have done any Internet research, you must provide the website(s)  that you have used in full. 
• Collate all your information.  
• Include a table of contents. 
• Ensure that you include a copy of the questionnaire and/or questions asked in your interviews as annexures. 
• Design a suitable cover sheet. 
• Submit your research.

4.2.6 Exemplar: Research task 2 

• Curriculum content: Physical Geography (fluvial processes) 

Choose a river close to your school or where you live as an area of study, and conduct your research by following the  steps outlined below.  Step 1: Formulate the hypothesis/problem statement

5. CONCLUSION  This document provides you with a framework to develop your own research task. It also provides you with a framework  of expectancy for data-handling tasks. The framework for data-handling tasks can also be used to prepare for external  examinations where data-handling-type questions can be asked.  A clear guideline has been developed on how to conduct research. This guideline can be applied to any topic within the  CAPS in which you wish to conduct research. The marking rubric that has been included will also provide you with a  clear guide on the time that should be spent on the various phases of doing research.  The high standard of these tasks will provide a platform for you to develop skills such as research, interpretation of  resources, integration of resources and graphs, all skills required for the final external Geography examination. These  are also skills that can be put to use at a later stage in your life.
