Year 10 Global Studies 2019 Independent Research Project

(AT4)

The Individual Research Project (IRP) helps you to develop important research skills as well as allowing you to investigate a global problem of interest to you. Whilst your goal is to produce a piece of high quality work, it is hoped that you find the process, from beginning to end, a worthwhile learning experience.

The Task Choose a problem of interest to you which has a global dimension. Write a focus question you wish to answer about this problem. With your

teacher’s assistance, this should develop into a narrow and specific question about which you can complete primary and secondary research. You should write a question for which you can propose solutions.

Conduct primary research (interviews and/or surveys) and secondary research (journal articles, reports, studies, etc.) on this problem.

Outline the causes and consequences of this problem, which may include historical, social, economic, political, cultural and ideological factors.

Compares and evaluate the secondary literature published on this problem. Choose one of the following paradigms to help you to understand your

problem and the possible solutions to it.o Utilitarianismo Neo-classical economicso Libertarianismo Rawlsian theories of justiceo Another paradigm of your choosing in consultation with your teacher

Identify three possible solutions to the problem and assess the strengths and weaknesses of these solutions, using your paradigm and your primary and secondary research, to determine the most appropriate solution.

Justify your recommendation for the most appropriate solution to the problem you have identified. Answer your focus question.

Present your research and findings to the class in a format of your choosing. Include in-text references and a correctly structured reference list. Your

reference list should also include any images, audio-visual material and data used in your presentation.

Keep a log/reflective journal on the research process and a research plan. This is to help you track your progress and critically think about on what you

have learned and how. Include copies of interviews and/or surveys questions and results in an

appendix.

Project Structure

1. Introduction – approximately 5% of the length of your projectThis is an overview of your entire project. You should outline your focus question and explain what you are trying to discover through your research. You should outline the solutions you identified in your primary research methodology and the theoretical paradigm you used to analyse those solutions. Essentially, this is a summary of what follows in the rest of your project, except for your final recommendation.

2.Background – approximately 25%This is the section where you explain the problem you have chosen, i.e., say how and why it is a contemporary global issue. You should then outline the key causes and consequences of the problem. Consider what you have learned throughout the year about the role of media, psychology and belief systems in shaping situations and people’s responses to those situations. The bulk of this section will come from your secondary research. Include information that contextualises and contributes to your solutions.

3.Literature Review – approximately 10%This is where you discuss your findings from secondary research, and compare the different perspectives, themes and arguments provided by different sources that are essential to understanding your problem and its solutions. You should briefly evaluate, where relevant, their usefulness, bias, thoroughness of investigation and/or how convincing you think the arguments/points raised are.

4.Primary Research Methodology and Reflection – approximately 10%This is an outline of how you conducted your primary research, the techniques/methodology(s) you used, a reflection on any problems with your research and what you learned from this process.

5.Primary Research Results – approximately 15% This is where you critically analyse and present detailed results of your primary research, considering and accounting for the perspectives revealed by the interviews/surveys.

6.Solutions – approximately 25%This is where you suggest solutions to the problem you have identified. While you can draw in new information into this section, these solutions need to incorporate an analysis of primary and secondary research identified in the previous sections of your project. You should then explain the solutions and their strengths and weaknesses within the framework of your chosen theoretical paradigm.

7.Recommendation – approximately 10%This is your conclusion, where you answer your focus question and justify what you think is the best solution to the problem.

8. Reference List, Appendix and LogGiven the scope of this project it is expected that you will have over 25 references from a range of sources (interviews, journals, government reports, academic publications, documentaries, podcasts as well as news sources and websites) and types of sources (quotes, images, statistics, graphs, audio-visual materials, interviews and/or surveys). The appendix is where you provide copies of your survey (one blank and some completed), and/or an outline of your interview and the questions (full transcripts are not necessary). You should also include links to digital recordings, a copy of your log and any other material you wish the markers to consider.

For further information and tips to assist you with understanding and completing your IRP, refer to the IRP Resource Booklet on Canvas and the Global Studies website.

Project Guidelines1.As one of the aims of primary research is to learn about different perspectives on your problem, you will be expected to conduct at least two interviews and/or survey at least 50 respondents. Carefully which methodology will best suit your question and elicit the most meaningful data.2. The problem you research must relate to the topics or themes of Global Studies. You have time in Term 2 to think about the problem you wish to research. 3. During Terms 2 – 3 you will submit progress reports on your project. These progress reports will count towards your effort marks and/or class mark for Global Studies.4. Throughout Terms 2 and 3 your class teacher will run a series of ‘tutorials’ on research methodology to assist you in your primary research.5. You will have some time in class to work on this task in Term 2, towards the end Term 3 and the first week of Term 4 to work on your research and prepare your presentation.6. If necessary, you can apply for a short absence from school in to pursue a particular line of inquiry which is essential to your project, such as conducting primary research onsite or offsite, pending parental and school permission. Please note that applications are not guaranteed to be approved.7.Keep track of your references and compile your reference list as you go (try Diigo, Pocket or Padlet). Note that Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference.8. The maximum length will be enforced. One of the skills you need for university and the workplace is the ability to communicate complex ideas in a clear and succinct way. Please see ‘Presentation’ below.9. Ensure that you include in-text referencing when appropriate. A penalty will be applied to presentations which contain plagiarism. 10.You will be primarily marked on your ability to:

demonstrate independent learning by organising, interpreting and synthesising information

demonstrate critical thinking about the problem, possible solutions and your own learning

**************Use the marking criteria as a checklist throughout your project. **************

Log & Research Plan: Reflecting on and Tracking your ProgressThroughout the project you are required to keep a digital log which documents the entire research process, from topic selection through to project submission. Share this document with your teacher as this provides an opportunity for communication between you and your teacher. You will be asked to discuss your progress at regular intervals. The log should focus on what you have discovered about your topic, the various methods you have employed to gather data and the steps you have taken to meet your objectives. It should also be used to reflect on the challenges and discoveries of doing a project of this scope. Include a research plan in your log using the important dates on the following page. It is important that you keep on top of the many requirements of this task. Add your extracurricular and personal commitments to this plan. Adjust the IRP due dates accordingly based on these commitments – camps, holidays, sports, robotics, Duke, etc.

Presentation

You have complete choice of presentation mode. Options include but are not limited to:Lecture Multimedia presentationeBook (published online)

Oral presentation

PowerPoint or Prezi Journal (online or hardcopy)

Website Written reportVideo/short film Essay

In your presentation, you should demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of your topic and the realistic solutions to the problem you have identified. You must consider the most effective means of conveying the outcomes of your research and demonstrating that you have thought critically about the problem you chose. The final presentation, whether it’s a written report, an oral presentation or a video, should be interesting, thought provoking and make every attempt to keep the audience’s attention. Therefore, it should be as creative and entertaining as is appropriate to the problem you have investigated.

Please consider the effective length of your project – more is not necessarily better. Do not overwhelm your audience with information and lose the message. The suggested length is 15 – 20 minutes for oral or visual presentations. If you choose to present orally, you may use visual aids such as PowerPoint but will be expected to speak without notes.

The suggested length for written projects is 4,000 – 5,000 words. Those submitting a written project will be asked to conduct a brief oral reporting session of approximately 5 minutes on their topic. This will outline your project and share the results of your investigation for the benefit of your classmates but will not be marked. Ensure you use creatively presented images and graphics to support your text.

If you choose to present your project as a website, you must include some level of visual appeal and interactivity which distinguishes it from an essay format. Visual aids, including links to videos and other websites, can be used to strengthen your argument. The purpose of the links should be clearly outlined to the visitor to your site. The suggested word length for a website is 4,000 words and no more than 20 minutes should be needed to read, watch and navigate the site.

Please note that these word lengths do not include the reference list, log and appendix. Your reference list should acknowledge all sources of information, quotes, images and audio-visual material

Submission Requirements

Whether you are presenting orally or in writing, you must submit two printed copies of your IRP, reference list, log and appendix. Written projects must also be submitted to Canvas as one document, where it will run through the plagiarism app UniCheck. Assignments must be submitted online and handed in by 8:20am on the due date. You may not use any material in your visual/oral presentation that is not submitted on time, without earning a late penalty. If any of the above methods for handing in an assignment are unavailable, then it is your responsibility to use an alternate method. Dropbox, email and Google Drive are good backups.

Presentation order will be determined by ballot. Failure to present in the time slot allocated without written evidence of illness or misadventure will incur a penalty.
