"Geography exam papers have seen more changes in the past 10 years than in the previous 100, with the emphasis now very much on the impact of human activity on the world. That’s the finding of research looking at geography papers for 16 year olds from 1867 to 2007 by Cambridge Assessment, which is this year celebrating its 150th anniversary.
The research looked at papers every tenth year from 1867 through to 2007. For the first 100 years papers concentrated on map skills, physical geography (natural features of the world as it is, including rock formations, plants and animals, climate and natural resources) and human geography (human activity, including agriculture, industry, and urban development) relating to different areas of the world, usually the British Isles or UK, Europe and North America.
While there was little change in the aims and purposes of studying geography over this time, there were changes based on developments in knowledge and teaching methods. This included the introduction of questions about weather systems and forecasting in 1947, fieldwork in 1967 and environmental damage and pollution in 1977.
It was not until the 1997 paper, the first GCSE paper in the study, that there was any real change to the structure of the paper. The focus now became mainly on human geography and candidates were required to look in more depth at a particular issue, often considering the impact of humans on physical geographical features, or the impact of physical features on humans. The 1997 and 2007 papers also had a larger proportion of questions on economic or environmental topics, such as greenhouse gases and climate change in 2007. There were far fewer questions about purely physical geography." Cambridge Assessment Press Release
