Students design tests to evaluate the solution, carry out those tests and objectively evaluate its success. Students identify areas where the solution could be improved and explain how their solution will impact on the client or target audience.
Di - Evaluating (MYP 4 & MYP 5).mp3Testing (REQUIRED)
Give a detailed account of testing methods to evaluate your project created against the design specifications, assessing how successful the project actually is.
Types of testing include user trial and observation:
Authentic testing of your Guide can be completed through the use of questionnaires as one example but your MUST include more. Google Forms can be used or Survey Monkey but you must include the questions sent out, who you sent them to and the answers.
You do not draw any conclusions at this stage only gather data based on testing.
When displaying the results of your testing completed please use the following methods: pie chart, bar chart, radial chart, tables and line charts; you also have the option of video recording tests completed or taking photographs.
IMPORTANT: THE TESTS COMPLETED MUST BE LINKED INTO THE SPECIFICATION
Dii - Evaluating (MYP 4 & MYP 5).mp3Success of solution (REQUIRED)
This is the section where you evaluate each of the individual results/data collected from testing in Di and start to draw conclusions backing up these conclusions with evidence.
The student gives a brief account how the solution fulfills the design specifications / success criteria referencing the results of testing, highlighting positive feedback.
IMPORTANT: YOU CANNOT SIMPLY SAY IT IS GOOD OR BAD YOU MUST STATE WHY AND REFER TO THE EVIDENCE RESULTS WHICH ALLOW YOU TO REACH THIS CONCLUSION
REMEMBER THE SOLUTION IS YOUR PROJECT WHICH HAS BEEN TESTED AGAINST THE SPECIFICATION
Diii - Evaluating (MYP 4 & MYP 5).mp3Improvements (REQUIRED)
Give a detailed account, mentioning reasons, of how the solution could be improved. Remember to link in any conclusions reached with testing and data collected which will act as evidence.
Try to make links between the specification point, testing completed for that specification points, results of the testing and conclusions reached after analyzing the data. All of the points will then enable you to make suggestions as to how your project could be improved.
Div - Evaluating (MYP 4 & MYP 5) .mp3Impact (REQUIRED)
Give a detailed account including reasons or causes about the impact of the product/solution on the client/target audience. This should summarize the key points taken from product testing and must reference the students design situation and client / target audience.
NOTE: IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO ACTUALLY INTERVIEW YOUR CLIENT/TARGET AUDIENCE AT THIS STAGE TO GAIN THEIR FEEDBACK/OPINIONS
EVIDENCE, EVIDENCE, EVIDENCE, EVIDENCE!!!!!! If you make a statement ALWAYS back it up with evidence from testing or evidence gained by some other means such as a questionnaire or research completed.
