Outcome

During the Research Project, students will produce an Outcome for assessment.

This is where you show your key findings and substantiate them with evidence and examples from your research. You can choose the way you wish to show these findings, in either written, oral or multimodal forms. For example, if you researched the art of a famous artist, you might present your Research Outcome as:

• an essay or report about how the artist has influenced art
• an artwork in the artist's style
• an informative booklet about the artist's life
• an interactive website showing how the paintings reflect the artist's life
• a children's book about the artist
• a film documentary about people's reaction to the artist's works.

Some of the above examples may incorporate your substantiation of the key findings, whereas other formats may need an accompanying substantiation.

Substantiation means being able to show someone else where the ideas have come from, and to prove to someone else how the research outcome can be reproduced. Being able to reference your information, ideas, and material is crucial. It is important that you reference your research properly.

There is a 2000 word limit (or 12 minutes multi-modal equivalent).
