Reflective Project:
The Reflective Project is an in-depth body of work produced over an extended period and submitted towards the end of the IBCP programme. It is the product of the student’s own initiative and is designed to draw together the student’s DP courses, the other three components of the IBCP core and the student’s career-related studies. Through the reflective project students identify, analyze, discuss and evaluate an ethical dilemma associated with an issue from their career-related studies. This work encourages students to engage in personal inquiry, intellectual discovery, creativity, action and reflection, and to develop strong thinking, research and communications skills.
The Reflective Project can be submitted in different formats including, but not limited to, an essay, electronic presentation, short play or film, or storyboard. However, the following features must be included and are assessed: an explanation showing knowledge and understanding of the issue and its context; awareness of the ethical dimension of the issue and its impact on the community; research that supports differing viewpoints and critical evaluation of those viewpoints; reflection; articulation of the student’s own evidence-based viewpoint; supporting evidence from a variety of sources including proper references, citations and bibliography; the effective use of language; and formal presentation of the work. Depending on the format, the maximum word limit is between 1500 (with accompanying material) and 3,000 words.
