Discussion question · 10 marks
Drawing on your own teaching experience, describe a project where a student initially focused too much on the final product and neglected the development process. How did you, or how would you now, re-engage that student with the importance of documenting their journey, and what specific evidence-based strategies would you use to help them bridge the gap between their initial first-hand observations and their final resolution?
