The Group 4 Experience

The Group 4 project was an enriching experience which provided a platform for mutual learning and analytical research for Grade 11. Not only were we able to explore a plethora of secondary research and integrate the same with our subtopics related to water, the ability to execute and evaluating our data collection also significantly improved. This experience provided us with a scope of concluding with our hypothesis being in favour or not and finding useful and efficient alternatives and solutions to the problems being discussed.

The group 4 project was a wonderful experience for me. As group leader of group 2, our journey started from a narrative which branched beautifully into the different branches of research. Throughout the confusing and tiring process of lab reports and presentation boards, I bonded with people I don't normally interact with. On the final day, the Chestnut Multipurpose Hall was buzzing with excitement and tension as everyone scrambled to put up all their hard work into their presentation. Presenting our project to parents and teachers was a fruitful process because they asked us questions and gave us useful tips on how we could improve our research or presentation skills. Reflecting on the entire event now, I feel like the connect of all the students with their research wasn't as strong and while there will always be those two groups of people, the personal connect could be brought about by introducing the concept of a Group 4 presentation from the beginning of the IBDP programme in the individual Group 4 subject classes.
