Project Description: ?
Create this project for me(school based)(solving problems on the school)
Stage 1
Problem identification
-A pupil is required to describe the problems, innovation or the identified gap through learning
experiences in a particular learning area.
(5 marks)
Stage 2
Investigation of related ideas (many ideas)
A pupil examines ideas that might solve the problem, related to the innovation or be an innovative
or be an immediate solution to the identified gap
(10 marks)
Stage 3
Generation of ideas/possible solutions( one general idea I think )
The stage requires the pupil to create his own solutions to the problem, innovation or identified gap.
The pupil is expected to illustrate, show, explain or demonstrate three analysed possible solutions
(10 marks)
By
- modifying existing solutions as per the researches in stage 2 if necessary
- creating new ideas to solve the problem
- analysing the possible solutions using Drawings, illustrations, pictures, audio, visuals or
performances among others
- analysing, synthesising and establishing connections and relationships
Stage 4
Development of selected ideas
A pupil choses the best possible solution or idea generated in stage 3. The chosen ideas will have the
most impact as an intervention to the problem, situation or innovation. After selection a pupil will:
-refine or develop the chosen idea to ensure it meets the design specifications stated in stage 1.
-continue to analyse and synthesise information as one improves the idea
-experiment and test the refined idea through the production of a mock up, demonstrations,
crawling, performances, audio, visuals and other forms of presentations.
Stage 5
Presentation of results
Final solutions should be in the form of:
Drawings,graphs, diagrams, reports, audio, visuals, demonstrations, write ups or artefacts
(10 marks)
Stage 6
Evaluations and recommendation
- commenting on achievements and challenges faced in coming up with the product, linking to the
statement of intent and design specifications
- recommendations for further improvement of the solution, or the innovation.
(5 marks)A properly well written project should have the following aspects
Stage 1
Problem identification
Statement of Problem
- answers the questions ( What is the problem? Who is affected? Where I the problem happening?
-Statement of Intent
answers the question ( How am I going to solve problem)
-Design Specifications
What is the project going to look like in order for it to be carried out easily
What am I going to use
#Additional information to be placed on Cover page
Project Title- The heading of the project/The clear Theme
Objectives
What do you want to achieve by doing the project
Stage 2 Investigation of Related Ideas
At this Stage learner is expected to look at solutions that have been used before to solve similar
problem elsewhere.To achieve this learner attempt answer questions below
How has the problem been solved before?
How successful were the solutions?
Learner outlines solutions that have been used before (at least 4)
Learner clearly shows where each solution has been used( place) and how successful
(advantages/strengths and /disadvantages /weaknesses
To show whether the solutions were ok solving the problem(pictures and drawings are necessary)
Stage 3 Generation of Ideas
On this Stage learner has the chance to select best solutions from Stage 2
Or Modify Solutions on Stage to overcome the weaknesses noted on Stage 2
Learner can even come up with new ideas/solutions
Learner banks on the strengths and weaknesses identified from the solutions in Stage 2 to develop
own solutions the learner will use to solve the problem ( 3-4 solutions)
Learner outlines strengths and weaknesses of each solution in solving the problem
This the learner does by
1- adopting the same solutions
2-modifying the identified solutions
3-innovating new solutions.( drawings,diagrams and photos are necessary to show developmebt abd
effectiveness of each solution)
Stage 4 Development of Selected Ideas
Learner selects best solution that the learner thinks and knows can use to solve the problem in real
time/or demonstrate ability to solve problem in real life
Learner explains why selected solution was chosen
Learner takes note of the materials he/she will use to develop the solution
Learner outlines the process involved in development of solution( photos as evidence of ownship of
project are necessary here) and or drawings
Stage 5 Presentation of Results
Learner at this stage does the following
1- Use the solution to solve problem
2-Test the solution to see if it solves the problem
3-Demostrates functionality of selected developed solution by exposing it to the solution to see if it
solves the problem
4-Learner can use a sample population ( school/class to test the solution)
Stage 6 Evaluation and Recommendations
Evaluation
Learner outlines problems faced during execution of project and how they were overcome
Recommendations
Learner makes suggestions noting other solutions that can be used to completely solve the problem
that the learner could not use.
Please note Projects are marked Stage by Stage not as a whole
Projects are not forced on learners.Allow them to identify easy problems they can solve.
You are expected to adhere to the provisions of Circular 9 of 2024 copied into the Teacher Guide
Do not give learners research projects
( these require literature view and methodology)
Projects are simple as explained above
There is no need to investigate the causes and effects of the problem
This is because the learner is solving a problem they are familiar with.
Projects are meant to produce a product or service at the end
The written write up is a document that shows how the problem will be solved by developing a
suitable
if the project write up has a literature review
If it has a methodology
if you are investigating
if you are carrying out a survey, an analysis, an investigation, an examination etc...
Know that you are lost.You are not doing a school based project
But you are doing a College Action Research ProjectA properly well written project should have the
following aspects
