2 2279/Sec3EOY/2023 Answer all questions. 1 Cluster 1: Geography in Everyday Life (a) A class of students from a Singapore school wanted to test the hypothesis: ‘When Singaporeans have good knowledge of global warming, they are more willing to take action to combat global warming.’ To do this, they decided to devise a close-ended questionnaire. The draft questionnaire after one round of class discussion is shown in Fig. 1 (Insert). (i) The students thought that further changes can be made to improve the questionnaire. Using Fig. 1, identify the issues with some of the questions and suggest improvement to them. [4] • Q1 on where students live is irrelevant to the hypothesis. Not about knowledge of global warming or willingness to combat global warming. • Hence should be removed from the questionnaire or replace with another question that would check how much knowledge know about global warming. [additional mark] • Q5: Insufficient response options being provided for the action that people can take. Only 3 provided • Provide more options and include an open-ended option on ‘others’ so that people can indicate in writing what other action that they would take [additional mark] • Q4 is about actions that can be taken by the country but the hypothesis is about actions that can be taken by Singaporeans • Change question to be actions that can be taken by Singaporeans • Q4: Students may not understand some of the terms like ‘mitigate’ and ‘adapt’ so they give inaccurate responses • Include a brief explanation of the terms in the questionn
