AT1 – Folio

What is the Folio?

• The Folio is a record of the student’s research. 
• Students develop a research question and then select and present evidence of their learning from the planning and development stages of the research project. 
• Students: 
• consider and define a research question, and outline their initial ideas for the research
• consider and select research processes that are likely to be appropriate to their research question (i.e. valid, ethical, and manageable research processes).
• develop the research, including knowledge and skills specific to the research question
• organise and analyse information gathered
• explore ideas
• understand and develop one or more capabilities.

What's in the Folio?

• 2-3 planning pages
• 7-8 pages of research development and reflection

Research processes

Research tools

Question stems (and topics) matter

CAN… = Under what circumstances/due to what obstacles

DO/DOES… = PROVE a relationship exists or DISPROVE by showing limited or no effect

IS, ARE… = a continuous condition or state 

SHOULD… = Propose how to or devise a model

WHAT… = Factual 

WHY… = Cause and effect; often involving a justification or reasons… as in “reasons why”

WHICH… = A choice exists – make a decision or recommendation

HOW… = A process to which develop.

TO WHAT EXTENT… = The impact of one variable relative to other variables.

What to include in research development Folio page analysis of information/idea exploration:

Annotations:

• Research development folio pages might include “CRAAP tests” and annotations
• These can include, but are not limited to:
• New important or ‘key’ findings about topic
• New words/vocabulary/concepts learned
• What students think/opinions about the information they’re reading
• Comments on any parts of the CRAAP test
• New skills learned doing the research – must cover for D3

Annotation Examples:

Here are a range of annotations from different folio research development page examples!

Folio Example – �Planning Page 1

Example 1 – considering and refining a research question:

Example 2, folio page 1 – considering and refining a research question >>

Example 1 shows a broad topic of aquaponics, to their refined, specific question, and the reflection explains this.

Example 2 is a thorough proposal explaining their topic to question refinement, explaining their lotus diagram and how they plan to do their research.

Folio Example – �Planning Page 2

Example 1, folio page 2 –

planning the research processes:

Example 2, folio page 2 –

planning the research processes:

This example has 4 subtopics with each coloured box explaining the research process they will use for that particular subtopic.

This example has 5 subtopics/guiding questions with each column saying what they need to find out, then the research processes they will use to find this information.

Example 4, folio pages 3-9 –

source collection/analysis/annotations:

Example 4 includes 2 sources, some comments on credibility, reliabilty, validity, then annotations about the info they’ve read and about their new skills and knowledge.

Example 3 is an interview and includes some notes from the interview, annotations, a summary and new vocabulary learned from this source.

AT2 – Outcome

What is the Outcome?

• The Research Outcome attempts to resolve the research question with effective substantiation to support a position.
• Students can negotiate the form in which their Outcome is presented, for example:
• written results, conclusions, recommendations, or solutions to a problem or question (e.g. an essay, a report, a booklet, or an article)
• a product (e.g. an artefact, a manufactured article, or a work of art or literature) and a producer’s statement
• a display or exhibition with annotations
• a multimedia presentation and podcast
• a performance (live or recorded) with a supporting statement
• a combination of any of the above. 

​

Students should play to their strengths
