internal assessment - personal engagement

Personal Engagement

This criterion assesses the extent to which the student engages with the investigation and makes it their own. Personal engagement may be recognized in different attributes and skills; these could include addressing personal interest or showing evidence of  independent thinking, creativity, or initiate in the designing, implementation or presentation of the investigation.

​For the personal engagement, criterion, you must provide clear evidence that you have contributed significant thinking, imitative, or insight to your investigation.  Personal significance, interest, and curiosity are awarded.  Unlike other criteria, in personal engagement there just has to be a point of evidence against an aspect, it does not have to comprehensively meet all mark points.

Independent Thinking:
  • Research question is novel and/or unusual.
  • Creativity in data collection methods or technique.​
  • Arguments and discussion show independent thinking, considering data, published sources and observations together in a unique way.

Personal Significance:
  • ​Research question is based on authentic personal interest or curiosity, with explanation.
  • Research question is relevant to local issues, with explanation.

Initiative:
  • ​​Novel or innovative approach to address the research question, with explanation.
  • ​Method uses known protocol, but adapts them for good reason, with explanation.​
  • Novel or innovative approach to presentation of results, with explanation.

This is a holistic judgement, students can show personal engagement in;
  • the choice of topic or the reason why the student chose it, as mentioned above
  • the choice of sources in research for the background section of Exploration
  • originality in the design of the method, or the apparatus in Exploration
  • persistence (or resilience) in overcoming difficulties in the collection of the results
  • the quality of the observations made.
  • the methods used to analyze the data collected
  • the type of comments written in the evaluation about limitations, improvements or extensions to the experiment
