2 Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives Individual Research Guide 2011

Welcome to Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives

Welcome to Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives (0457) and to this Individual Research Guide. Our intention in this guide is to answer any questions you may have about the Individual Research element of the Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives course. In Section A we look at how the Individual Research fits into the Global Perspectives course, its structure and how you, as teachers and facilitators, might approach developing the skills your students need to complete their Individual Research successfully and thereby achieve the learning outcomes. We also consider how you might encourage your students to build up their Individual Research so that their work takes shape over the duration of the course and they are not just rushing to complete it at the last minute before the submission date. In Section B we look more closely at the assessment criteria and what you need to consider when assessing and submitting work for moderation. In Section C you will find ideas and examples from the 20 topics to give you and your students further guidance on how to compile their Individual Research report.
