Component 3
How?
1. Work in teams of two to five members to identify a local
problem which has global relevance.
2. The team must frame a single question that allows them to address contrasting perspectives on the problem.
3. Candidates allocate areas for each team member to research.
4. Each candidate in the team identifies a solution which arises from a distinctive perspective they have identified, and argues for effective and workable solutions which arise from that perspective.
Slide 5 - Slide
Presentation
Individuals will present their research and preferred solution in a formal live presentation for up to eight
minutes (per individual). (Live recording, one continuing session, no editing allowed).
Candidates are assessed on:
their presentational methods to an audience of at least 3 their ability to reasearch, identify and present complex global concepts, different local and global perspectives and arguments in a creative and effective manner
their abilitiy to structure and communicate a coherent argument and develop a line of reasoning based on supporting evidence
their ability to differentiate their personal perspective from the work of the team as a whole present convincing and well-supported conclusions which respond to the overall question posed by the team
Reflective paper
Following the individual presentations, candidates discuss their findings and agree on a set of team solutions to the problem and question posed. Then each team member writes a reflective paper of maximum 800 words in which they:
reflect on how the team worked together, what could be improved, and any changes to their personal views shaped by the collaborative experience.
Candidates are assessed on their ability to:
evaluate the effectiveness of their work with others in a team to identify an appropriate local problem with global relevance
work with others in a team to consider a range of effective and workable solutions
consider the ways in which personal standpoints may have been affected by the research and collaborative experience
identify the need for further research in light of the research findings.
