This document summarizes the evolution of my research project. It begins with how I refined my topic, outlining communications and tools like mindmaps that shaped my final question. I detail the planning phase, including timelines and my objectives for the research. The development stage is backed by interviews, data collection, and key insights learned. This document also includes an analysis of findings such as survey results and their implications, along with practical applications of knowledge. Finally, I present a bibliography of all resources utilized throughout this process.
E N D
Page 1 (P1) • How you refined your topic. Include things like: • Research proposal • Any emails/communication with others you have had that helped you decide on (or refined) a topic • A summary of how your question/topic has changed throughout the process • Make sure you highlight exactly what your final question is • Mindmaps, lotus diagrams, PMI’s, SWOT’s etc… that show how you refined your Q. • How you’re going to look at presenting your outcome • May look at how this has progressed throuhgout the process if applicable
Page 2 (P2) • How you planned the research processes. Include things like: • Timelines • A contents page of things that you’ve done • A break down of what you’re hoping to achieve • Records of emails and summaries that you’ve written up from them
Page 3 (A1) • How the research developed. Include things like: • Highlighting an annotating – making specific reference to the relevance to your topic/question • Any interviews, notes, data collection • Notes of what you have learned through the process • Key areas of how the research has developed • If practical, where you have sourced materials, budgets etc… • Things that have shown that you’ve used initiative. E.g. lists of interviews, observations, experiments, surveys, focus groups etc… • Indicating how and why they were useful to your project specificaly
Page 5 (A2) • Analysis of the information and exploring ideas. Include things like: • Survey results, including graphs etc... With analysis • Samples of the surveys you handed out with annotations/notes on what questions were aiming to achieve
Page 7 (A3) • Application of knowledge and skills specific to the research. Include things like: • Any experiments you’ve conducted • Notes from observations or surveys outlining how theory has been applied in practice • Receiving professional feedback on anything you’ve created
Last page • A list of all references you’ve used. Write it up as a normal bibliography. Include: • Books • Internet • Journals • Interviews • Focus groups • Video • Radio programs
Discussion • Needs to be presented as either: • 2 pages written • You can use the document that is on the S:/ alternatively, create your own using a combination of questions that you think will help you show more clearly how you’re achieving the performance standards • 10 minutes unbroken audio • You are responsible for getting this formatted and on a disc to be handed in with your folders
A few tips • Condense the information to the equivalent of 2 A4 pages onto 1 A4 page. E.g. 2 A5 pages on one A4 page. • Print your 10 pages out in colour • Put headings clearly marking which criteria is being addressed in the 10 pages. • P1 – consideration and refinement of a topic • P2 – Planning or research processes • A1 – Development of the research • A2 – Analysis of information and exploration of ideas • A3 – Application of knowledge and skills
