Simplified Project Guide

*A properly well written project should have the following aspects*

*Draft in first person narrative)*

*Project should have learner centred English*

*Give actual detailed answers at each Stage please*

*Stage 1 *Problem identification*

*Statement of Problem*

- answers the questions ( What is the problem? Who is affected? Where I the problem happening?

*-Statement of Intent*

answers the question ( How am I going to solve problem)

*-Design Specifications*

What is the project going to look like in order for it to be carried out easily

What am I going to use

*#Additional information to be placed on Cover page*


Project Title- The heading of the project/The clear Theme

*Objectives*

What do you want to achieve by doing the project

*Stage 2 Investigation of Related Ideas*

At this Stage learner is expected to look at solutions that have been used before to solve similar problem
[Link] achieve this learner attempt answer questions below

How has the problem been solved before?

How successful were the solutions?

Clearly state the place where the solution was used and how successful it was in solving the problem

Learner outlines solutions that have been used before (at least 4)

Learner clearly shows where each solution has been used( place) and how successful was the solutions

Here learner does this by stating 1 advantage1/strength and 1 disadvantage/weakness

#To show whether the solutions were ok solving the problem(*pictures and drawings are necessary*)

*Stage 3 Generation of Ideas*


On this Stage learner has the chance to select best solutions from *Stage 2* that is all 4 or just 3

*Or* Adopt and modify solutions from Stage 2 so as to overcome the weaknesses noted on Stage 2
and to make them more suitable

Learner can even come up with new ideas/solutions instead of copying those on Stage 2

In other words learner banks on the strengths and weaknesses identified from the solutions in Stage 2 to
develop own solutions the learner will use to solve the problem ( 3-4 solutions)

Learner outlines strengths and weaknesses of each solution in solving the problem

This the learner does by

1- adopting the same solutions

2-modifying the identified solutions

3-innovating new solutions.( drawings,diagrams and photos are necessary to show development and
effectiveness of each solution)

*Stage 4 Development of Selected Ideas*

Learner selects best solution that the learner thinks and knows can use to solve the problem in real
time/or demonstrate ability to solve problem in real life

Learner explains why selected solution was chosen(*Justification*)

Learner takes note of the tools and materials he/she will use to develop the solution
Learner outlines the process involved in development of solution( photos as evidence of ownership of
project are necessary here) and or drawings

*Stage 5 Presentation of Results*

Learner at this stage does the following

1- Use the solution to solve problem(photos are essential at least 2)

2-Test the solution to see if it solves the problem

3-Demostrates functionality of selected developed solution by exposing it to the solution to see if it


solves the problem

4-Learner can use a sample population ( school/class to test the solution)

*Stage 6 Evaluation and Recommendations*

*Evaluation*

Learner makes brief evaluation of whether the project was a success and whether the solution solved
the problem

Learner outlines problems faced during execution of project.


If problems were overcome then

Learner outline how the problems were overcome

*Recommendations*

Learner makes suggestions noting other solutions that can be used to completely solve the problem that
the learner could not use.

....….................................

Please note Projects are marked Stage by Stage not as a whole

ECDs(ECD A to Grade 2) are assisted through out their projects by the teacher they do activities that
interested in to solve.

*#Note To Teachers*

You are expected to adhere to the provisions of Circular 9 of 2024 copied into the Teacher Guide and
the provided marking guides ECD,Junior and Lower and Upper Secondary

*Do not give learners *research projects*

*( these require literature view and methodology)*

*#Projects are simple as explained above*

*There is no need to investigate the causes and effects of the problem*


*This is because the learner is solving a problem they are familiar with.*

*Projects are meant to produce a product or service at the end*

Common questions

Powered by AI

Previous solutions should be evaluated by considering how the problem has been solved before and the success level of these solutions. Each solution's strengths and weaknesses should be addressed, and specific locations where these solutions were implemented should be mentioned, alongside their effectiveness in solving the problem .

The selection of a solution should be justified based on its practicality in solving the problem in real-time, its feasibility, and the learner's ability to implement it effectively. The solution should also effectively incorporate tools, materials, and processes outlined, with evidence such as photos supporting the decision .

Methods to evaluate a project's success include assessing whether the project solved the original problem, identifying and analyzing any problems faced during execution, and determining how they were overcome. Recommendations for alternative solutions better suited to address remaining issues can also be considered .

The role of the teacher is to assist learners throughout their projects by guiding them in choosing activities they are interested in to solve the problem. Teachers are expected to adhere to the guidelines mentioned in Circular 9 of 2024 and the provided marking guides for different educational levels .

Pictures and drawings contribute to the effectiveness by providing clear visual representations of the solutions, helping to clarify the design and function. They serve as supportive evidence, illustrate modifications and innovations, and assist in demonstrating the solution's application and effectiveness in solving the problem .

Functionality can be demonstrated by using the solution to solve the problem, testing it to ensure it works effectively, and exposing it to real-world conditions or a sample population. Photos are important to document this process and provide visual evidence of functionality .

Recommendations can improve future outcomes by suggesting alternative solutions that could address any unresolved aspects of the problem. They provide insight into more effective methods or technologies and identify potential improvements, ensuring a more comprehensive problem-solving approach in future projects .

The key components involved in the problem identification stage are the Statement of Problem, which answers what the problem is, who it affects, and where it is happening; the Statement of Intent, explaining how the problem will be solved; and the Design Specifications, detailing what the project will look like and what will be used to carry it out .

It is important not to assign research projects requiring literature reviews and methodologies because the projects are designed to be simple and focus on practical problem-solving familiar to the learner. This approach ensures that learners gain hands-on experience in producing a tangible product or service by the project's conclusion .

A learner can decide which solutions to adopt or modify by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each solution identified in the investigation stage. By banking on strengths and addressing weaknesses, the learner can opt to adopt the same solutions, modify them to enhance suitability, or innovate new solutions. This process is supported by the addition of visual aids such as drawings and diagrams .
