This criterion assesses the extent to which you identify and evaluate at least one way to apply the outcomes of the investigation in relation to the broader environmental issue that was identified at the start of the project.
Applications (3)
You are expected to reflect on the results of your study in the light of the broader environmental issue and suggest how your findings could be applied to address the environmental issue, or to propose a potential solution to one aspect of the issue. This criterion is therefore concerned with the synthesis of new ideas based on research findings. The suggestion might be based in the local context of the study itself, or might have relevance in a wider field, depending on the nature of the initial research question and the quality of the data obtained.
In order to score highly, you must JUSTIFY AND EVALUATE your suggestion rather than just stating a proposal.. Evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of this solution in addressing the environmental issue
