    The document provides guidance for a global perspectives research report checkpoint. It outlines key elements to include such as focusing on a global issue, presenting both a global and national perspective with sources evaluated, and reflecting on how personal perspective has changed from the research. Learners should choose a research question, explore causes and consequences of the issue, and propose one national solution to help resolve the issue.

    IMPORTANT POINTS FOR GP CHECKPOINT RESEARCH REPORT:

    The following points are a summary of the key elements of the Checkpoint:

    • The question should focus on a global issue/problem.

    • The best reports were able to present a global and national perspective and
    explain how or why the perspectives are different.

    • Evaluation of sources should explain whether a particular source is credible and


    then explain why it is credible.

    • The written work should be structured and presented as a research report using a
    question as the title to focus the work.

    • There should be one national or local solution offered in the report to help resolve
    the issue and this solution should be well explained.

    • When reflecting, it is important for learners to explain how their personal


    perspective has changed or developed as a result of their research and the global
    and national perspectives they have explored; this need not be very detailed or
    lengthy.

    • The maximum word count is 1000 and teachers must stop marking at this
    amount.

    • References should be complete and in a consistent format with title of article,


    author, date, website address and date accessed.

    General comments

    The guidance that follows is a general overview of what is expected in the


    Research Report.

    Recent reports submitted show that learners are increasingly successful at fulfilling
    elements of the Assessment Criteria.

    Centres are advised to use the information that follows to assist them in their
    teaching and their assessing.
    When producing the Checkpoint, learners should work individually to produce a
    Research Report on any one of the Lower Secondary topics of between 800 and
    1000 words.

    Learners should identify a global issue related to one of the topics and form a
    research question based on this issue.

    This research question should then be answered after exploring a global


    perspective and a national perspective.

    The national perspective can be from any country the student chooses; it need not
    be their own, but it should be explicitly named.

    It is important that there is a clear contrast between the global and national
    perspective, so learners should choose an issue where this is the case.

    Learners conduct their own research on their issue, using a range of sources.

    Some of these sources must be explicitly evaluated in the report. Learners will
    explore and explain the causes and consequences of their issue and should propose
    and explain one local or national solution.

    Again, this need not be lengthy but should be realistic. Learners conclude their
    report by reflecting on how their research and the global and national perspectives
    explored has changed or developed their own perspective.
