Field Science & Environmental Monitoring skills assessment
Field scientists collect data in real environments. This scorecard covers survey design, sampling, instruments, safety, data quality and reporting.
- 12 skills to score
- 1–10 scale on every skill
- 6 starting levels
The 12 Field Science & Environmental Monitoring skills you can score
These are the default Field Science & Environmental Monitoring skills in SkillScorer. Each one is scored from 1 to 10 for every researcher, and you can edit, remove or add skills at any time.
Field Survey Design
Designs surveys with suitable sites, replication and timing to answer the research question.
Sampling Procedures
Collects samples using standard methods and avoids contamination.
Field Instruments and Sensors
Sets up, calibrates and reads field instruments and sensors correctly.
GPS and Mapping
Records locations with GPS and prepares maps of sites and results.
Field Safety and Remote Work
Plans for remote work risks, including communications, weather and first aid.
Data Recording and Quality Checks
Records field data clearly and checks it for errors before leaving the site.
Species or Sample Identification
Identifies species or samples accurately using keys and reference material.
Weather and Site Judgement
Judges weather and site conditions to decide whether it is safe to work.
Permits and Ethics
Obtains permits and follows ethical and environmental rules for fieldwork.
Team Fieldwork
Works well in field teams, sharing tasks and responsibilities.
Sample Transport and Storage
Preserves, stores and transports samples so they remain valid.
Reporting
Reports field results and methods clearly.
Levels included with Field Science & Environmental Monitoring
Field Science & Environmental Monitoring starts with 6 levels, which SkillScorer calls “Seniority Level” for science & research, so researchers can be grouped and compared fairly. Rename, reorder or replace them at any time.
- Student
- Research Assistant
- Scientist
- Senior Scientist
- Group Leader
- Director
How Field Science & Environmental Monitoring works in SkillScorer
Score
Each researcher in a lab is scored on the Field Science & Environmental Monitoring skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank researchers, compare two side by side, or compare your labs against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Field Science & Environmental Monitoring skills need attention. Reports also follow each group leader's lab.
Field Science & Environmental Monitoring scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Field Science & Environmental Monitoring scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Field Science & Environmental Monitoring scorecard covers 12 skills: Field Survey Design, Sampling Procedures, Field Instruments and Sensors, GPS and Mapping, Field Safety and Remote Work, Data Recording and Quality Checks, Species or Sample Identification, Weather and Site Judgement, Permits and Ethics, Team Fieldwork, Sample Transport and Storage and Reporting. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are researchers scored in Field Science & Environmental Monitoring?
Every researcher is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one lab and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Field Science & Environmental Monitoring?
Field Science & Environmental Monitoring starts with these levels (called “Seniority Level” in the app): Student, Research Assistant, Scientist, Senior Scientist, Group Leader and Director. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Field Science & Environmental Monitoring skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In science & research the app talks about researchers, labs and group leaders, and you can change any of those words too.
