Planning
Project leadership
Progress monitoring
Process management
Conflict management
|
(7.2) Student Preparation:
The students are told about the idea for the project 3weeks before it
started. New ICT tools to be used during the project (i.e. using a
spreadsheet for survey results) will be practiced before the project launch.
|
(7.3) Facilitation:
Use of the library and computer lab with internet facility will be
scheduled and booked in advance. Students are advised to use the computer
labs if they are have time provided the Instructor allows them. Parents also
will be asked to provide support and cooperation if the need is felt.
|
(7.4) Progress Monitoring:
Whole
class conference once per week
|
Group Progress
Team
checkpoint meetings as well informally daily checking with teams and
individuals on their work.
|
Individual Progress
(7.5) Re-planning:
Since student autonomy is low there is low risk of the project going
off track. 10% additional time allowance has been included for overrun but
the end date cannot be exceeded. There is an option for homework to be used
to catch up if necessary.
|
(7.6) Conflict Management:
Teamwork rules will be included in project launch presentation.
Students are asked to initially try to work out conflicts on their own. In
the case of a deadlock, issues are to be raised with the teacher. Lack of
participation will be dealt with by culprits being removed from the project
work and set to work on alternative individual tasks for the duration of the
project.
