Advanced higher biology project investigations
Although written to support the Scottish Advanced Higher Project, this is a useful resource for all advanced independent research projects. The philosophy behind the booklet is that students should be supported in developing their skills of investigation. Students should not be abandoned to their fate, nor should they have their investigation done for them. This can be a fine line to tread. In the early stages of investigation, students are likely to need advice and support in choosing a suitable topic for investigation and in selecting an appropriate experimental design. As the investigation progresses, students should be making more independent decisions in the analysis and evaluation of their results. By referring to the advice in the booklet teachers can use open questions to assist students to reflect on and review their own work rather than provide excessive direction or support.
