1. INTRODUCTION
Pacing is other method of measuring the distance by simply having pace factor. This
method will only require the student to walk on the prefer distance by their natural walk form
one point to another. By doing this king of method, it will give you the distance but not as
accurate as others because it will depend on the person doing the fieldwork.

(Add more research)

2.OBJECTIVES

The students shall be able to:

1. Gain individual pace factor.

2. Test the accuracy of the students in pacing out a given distance.

3. INSTRUMENTS: (Add pictures of actual instruments used)

1. 2 range poles – Range poles are used for sighting points and for lining up tape-
persons in order to keep them going in the right direction.
2. Chalk – Chalk is used for marking the ends of tapes at intermediate points while
taping.
3. 50-meter tape – A 50-meter tape is a flexible ruler used for measuring the course
length from one end of the tape to the other end.
4. PROCEDURES

For the first part of the field work, the determination of Individual Pace Factor, the following
procedures are:

1. The student will measure at least 5m line using a tape on a level ground.
2. The ends of the assigned line are marked with either hubs or marking pins or, by
chalk marks. Designate the endpoints as A and B.
3. Set or hold range poles behind points A and B or outside the line AB. These poles
will aid the students to travel in a straight path.
4. Each student will be pacing the line from A to B starting with heel or toe over A,
keeping their eyes focus on the range pole behind point B to keep themselves on the
straight path. One has to walk in their natural unaffected manner, and has to keep
counting their number of paces for the entire course being covered. A partial pace at
the end of the course should be figured out to the nearest one fourth of a pace.
Record this as the number of paces for Trial No. 1.
5. For Trial No.2, each student should walk from B to A in the same manner as in the
first trial.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to comply with the number of trials required by the instructor
(minimum number of trials = 5).
7. Data should be entered in the preliminary data sheet.

For the second part of the field work, the determination of an unknown distance of the
assigned line through pacing, the following procedures are:

1. The student will mark another points C and D with unknown length to be paced
by each student.
2. Range poles are to be set up outside the level course to straighten the path of the
student.
3. Each student paces the course with the minimum number of trials as required,
recording the number of paces for each trial (minimum number of trials = 5).
4. After all field notes are recorded, the student will make an actual taping of the line
CD to determine its actual measured distance.
5. COMPUTATIONS AND FORMULAS:

The computation of sample field notes is done in accordance with the steps listed
hereunder:

A) Computation of Pace Factor:

Where:
� PF = Pace Factor
�� = L = Length of Line
�
�= Mean number of paces

B) Computation of percent error

������ − ������
%����� = × ���%

3. A student tries to measure the perimeter of a small park of his community by pacing
around the area for three consecutive times. The number of paces was tallied at
535,543 and 539 respectively, for each trial. If the student’s pace factor is

.74m/pace, determine the actual perimeter of the land.

school from her boarding house and takes only a single route. For five consecutive
days, she tries to count the number of paces she makes. Monday morning’s number
 of paces made joy is listed as 345 paces. On Tuesday, 353 paces; Wednesday; 358
paces; Thursday, 348 paces, and lastly, on Friday 355 paces. That Friday afternoon,
a surveyor from city engineer’s office who is tasked to lay out a new drainage piping
system, measured the exact route she took and found out that the taped distance is
275 m. What is joy’s pace factor?
