What  are  depth  studies?    

•  A  depth  study  is  any  type  of  inves?ga?on/ac?vity  that  a  student  completes  individually  or  collabora?vely  that  allows  the  further  development  of  one  or  more  concepts  found  within  or  inspired  by  the  syllabus  

Page 4: Depth&Studies& - University of Sydney · • Depth&studies&promote&differen?aon&and& engagement,&and&supportall&forms&of& assessment,&including&assessmentfor,&as&and& of&learning&

•  It  may  be  one  inves?ga?on/ac?vity  or  a  series  of  inves?ga?ons/ac?vi?es.

•  Depth  studies  promote  differen?a?on  and  engagement,  and  support  all  forms  of  assessment,  including  assessment  for,  as  and  of  learning

•  Depth  studies  must  address  at  least  one  Knowledge  and  Understanding  outcome  to  a  greater  depth,  the  Ques?oning  and  predic?ng  and  Communica?ng  outcomes,  and  at  least  two  addi?onal  Working  Scien?fically  skills  outcomes.

•  Depth  studies  allow  students  a  pathway  to  pursue  their  interests  in  science,  acquire  a  depth  of  understanding  and  take  responsibility  for  their  own  learning.

Ideas  for  depth  studies  

•  Prac>cal  inves>ga>ons  – Design  and  conduct  experiments  – Test  a  claim  – Test  a  device

•  Fieldwork  Fieldwork  may  be  a  star?ng  point  for  a  prac?cal  inves?ga?on  or  secondary-­‐sourced  study  and  could  be  ini?ated  by  the  following  s?muli:  

•  an  excursion  •  engagement  with  community  experts.

Ideas  for  depth  studies  

•  Create  – Design  and  invent  – Create  a  working  model  – Create  a  por`olio

•  Data  analysis  – Data  analysis  could  be  incorporated  into  a  prac?cal  inves?ga?on  or  secondary-­‐sourced  inves?ga?on.  For  example:  

– construc?on  and  analysis  of  graphs/tables  – data  analysis  from  a  variety  of  sources  –  research  analysis,  eg  of  longitudinal  data,  resource  management  data.

How  do  you  program  the  depth  studies?  

•  With  crea?vity  and  imagina?on,  ensuring  that  the  class  has  the  correct  differen?a?on  occurring  and  that  the  students  have  a  say  in  what  they  are  learning  in  depth  either  as  individuals  or  in  a  team  collabora?ng.  

•  The  philosophy  is  that  the  students  chose  their  own  adventure  yet  are  s?ll  guided  by  achieving  the  stated  outcomes  of  the  course.
