What is the role of reflection?Show answer
Reflection is the addition that defines phase 2. Reflecting means evaluating your developing ideas and artworks, judging what is working and why, and using that judgement to make reasoned decisions. A reasoned decision names the evidence, weighs alternatives and states the choice with justification. This is what turns experimentation into progress rather than activity, and it is prime evidence of inquiry.
What is common pitfalls in the Project?Show answer
Two pitfalls recur. The first is activity without reflection: many experiments, no judgements, so the work looks busy but stalled. The fix is to end every cycle with a reasoned decision tied to the inquiry question. The second is resolving too early: treating IA2 as the finish line and closing the concept down, which leaves nothing for Unit 4 to extend.
What is activity without reflection?Show answer
Experiments alone are not progress. Evaluate them and make reasoned, justified decisions.
