ASSESSMENT TASK 1 : WEBSITE GAPMINDER WORLD
(WEIGHT 35%)
TASK DESCRIPTION
Your assignment is to use Gapminder World to write three sections investigating
development in your country from 1900. You will critically analyse what the data used in
Gapminder World means and how we measure ‘development’. You will discuss your
country’s ‘trail of development’, highlighting relationships, trends and events. You will
consider what conclusions you can draw from your data and the ways in which
Globalisation processes have shaped your country’s development.
This project will comprise 600 words and a selection of 3 images from Gapminder
World.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Source, select and organize information cohesively according to
academic conventions;

BRIEF
The aim of this assignment is to develop your data analysis, research, writing and presentation skills.
The assignment also aims to develop your understanding of global patterns and macro-trends, focusing
on key-aspects of global development as it relates to your home country. This will help you develop a
current, fact-based world-view that will provide a good grounding for further study on the dynamic
Globalisation processes impacting the world and your home country.
Using Gapminder World
To undertake the research necessary to complete this assignment you would need to attend your
scheduled Workshop in Weeks 2 and 3 where you will learn how to navigate Gapminder World.
Attached to this Project Brief is a User Guide that shows you how to use Gapminder in terms of
buttons and features.
Analysing your country’s ‘trail of development’
Use the ‘select’ panel on the right hand side to choose your home country to focus on.
You will examine average life expectancy and income per person over time and address
the following points:
Explain the importance of the Gapminder graph very carefully. “Life expectancy”
appears on the vertical axis (y axis) and “Income per person” on the horizontal axis (x
axis). Define what Life Expectancy and Income per person mean (which requires
defining “GDP per capita”).
Examine the data showing your country’s development since 1900.
During what time period does life expectancy change drastically?
During what time period does income per person change
drastically?
Use a number of “screen shots” to highlight the significant changes you have identified.
Your assignment must contain 3 screen shots.
Research historical events that may be likely reasons for these dramatic changes and
that help explain your country’s trail of development.
Look at web sources to figure out causes for the changes.
What possible conclusions can you draw?
What is the link between income and life expectancy? (think about why more money
may improve health outcomes)
Can you see any evidence of the impact of Globalisation in your
country’s trail of development?
Academic English component
This assignment aims to build your writing and presentation skills. Your assignment will need to include
written text components ( 600 words).
It is important that your written expression conveys ideas clearly. Your spelling and grammar needs to
be correct, and vocabulary choice and expression appropriate.
References
Your assignment must contain a list of all the research references used for your project. The list of
references must follow the UTS Harvard Referencing Style Guide.
