Education Research Project
Education Research Projects (ERPs) are projects jointly chosen by the students and the teacher.
Guided by the teacher in engaging students to further develop their understanding of goals on a specific topic from the Australian Curriculum that link into learning intentions.
Students are required to adhere to a project design brief, which sets out particular core learning and specific questions connected to the topic. Student inquiry questions drive their investigation beyond the topic requirements.
ERPs have a cross curriculum component where literacy, numeracy and other areas are incorporated across a big question focus.
Skills developed through the ERPs include; flexibility, empowerment, focus skills, developing research and presentation skills, making cross curriculum connections, responsibility for negotiation and risk taking and creating deeper learning experiences on a broader range of issues.
Formative assessment in the form of a negotiated rubrics assists student focus on selected outcomes. Immediate peer feedback is provided through individualised student/teacher designed resources. Monitoring of student progress in research and presentation skill development is done via ongoing conferencing.
Excursions, incursions and information sharing are part of the ERP process. They assist in engagement and reinforcement of topics for students.
