How does this piece of evidence show the chosen IB Learner Profile Characteristic?
The exam question answers show the thinker learner profile because I had to analyze and use critical thinking skills to respond to the exam questions. While working on an exam I have to analyze what the question is asking and therefore come up with an answer. Sometimes I have to read previous information before answering which requires using critical thinking tools.
Which challenges did I face when developing this particular evidence?
Well during mock exams I had a lot of pressure to do well and study for all the different classes. It was a challenge to manage my time to be able to study all the topics since eleventh grade. It was also a challenge to answer questions in such a rigorous setting and with a time limit.
How can this particular evidence help me in the future?
Answering exam questions can help us students in many ways. As I mentioned, I had to use critical thinking skills and time management to be able to answer the exam questions quickly and to the best of my abilities. This taught me to always be as prepared as I can and take my time when performing difficult tasks.
Evidence 3
In this project we had to create a new product that was sustainable, in small groups. In my group we decided to create a gym service that included energy creating bicycles. This project very clearly shows the risk-taking characteristic. We had to cooperatively explore new innovation strategies to create a viable product or service that could be implemented in our real life. When creating this project we had to create a product that was never before seen, which was a challenge. We pushed our creative limits to come up with something original. This particular evidence helps me in my future in the business area of study. Having applied the STEEPLE analysis for the country I live in not only taught me the considerations of starting a company in México, but it also taught me to apply the STEEPLE analysis in real life. The skills acquired in this assignment will help me to pursue an innovative career.
