Rubio Jr. IGCSE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES Component 3 Team Project CIE May/June 2022 Series Topic Area Water, food and agriculture Issue Is agricultural labor properly acknowledged? Aim We would like to come up with a way in which we can inform the community about the hard work that farmers put in to provide us with the produce that we want. We want to enlighten them to not take hard labor done by others for granted. Outcome Description Create a short video film to achieve the aims outlined above Explanation In superstores, and markets, there is a lot of agricultural produce being sold at relatively cheap and affordable prices. Many of the people who buy their groceries take the items they buy for granted due to its cheap price and abundance. We are interested in finding out how much effort and money is put into growing their crop yields and whether it is actually a profitable business in our day and age. We think that this project is worthwhile because the groceries people buy have been incorporated into every student’s daily lives and being able to show them how much effort they put in to provide the produce that we need. Words: 111 REFLECTION Evaluation of project outcome I think our project outcome was adequate in terms of achieving our aims, the quality was acceptable enough to encapsulate audience viewers but there was only one flaw that I have seen in our research which was the amount of respondents to our interview. We had only interviewed 10 farmers in total including both our self employed and farmers employed by private companies. Besides that, our presentation and research inside the video was sufficient enough that I think it makes up for the flaws of the number of respondents. After our brief presentation to the students, many of them had taken our survey and we were able to garner up 38 student answers. The main limitation to the research is that the farmers had not farmed the same type of plants and thus made our primary data inconsistent. We had trouble finding farmers willing to interview that were near our city, nonetheless farmers that farmed the same type of crops. Additionally, during our student surveys, we failed to include a cross cultural perspective by interviewing other students besides the ones in our school, possibly from a different country or city. Own work processes, contribution and learning I had done a lot of planning when organizing our deadlines and ideas. I believe I made a heavy contribution towards the progress and consistency of our work as I was the one who was constantly reminding my teammates assuming the role as a group leader to lead my team when working and delegating tasks appropriately to each member. I am largely thankful for the trust that my teammates had placed on me when it came to deciding our chosen topic, our aim and goals, and leading them. I was also the head when it came to communicating with new people and strangers and asking if they would work with us. I had found our farmer respondents and although it's not a lot, I am still proud that I was able to learn how to talk to strangers and how to communicate more naturally when nervous. I still have areas of improvement to work on when it comes to communicating and I believe that this is a skill that will only come more naturally as I garner more experience. Getting the chance to conduct an interview in person and an interview online was a learning experience as we learn how an in person interview differs from an online interview regarding the planning methods, the execution, and the circumstances. I was not in charge of collating the data and information we got from the statistics, but I was able to contribute slightly in the research for our secondary data. Instead I was given the opportunity to work on our team project outcome, which we decided to be a video. The process in editing this video was still new to me, although I have some experience in editing a video, I did not have enough experience to confidently say I am a good video editor. The video editing process was the most challenging area for me, as I had a one week deadline to work with and I was ingesting so much information and guides on how to do different things in the video editing software. After finishing our video outcome, and analyzing the entirety of our data, I believe that the sample is too small for us to believe with certainty even in our local area, however it has given us a good idea and vision on some parts of our local area. Benefits and Challenge of teamwork I believe that my team was able to cooperate quite well together, but as the team leader, I was really challenged in my ability to lead and instruct my fellow members. Undergoing this project, taking on the role as a leader was extremely stressful and overwhelming for me. I struggled to meet the deadlines of our plans, although they were met with. Having the organization of our plans and schedules was able to lighten the work on me and help guide my teammates. Being able to have a reliable team that was with me did indeed help, as I was able to rely on them whenever I was overwhelmed and they helped brainstorm ways for approach towards this team project. During our discussion, Devid raised a bunch of valuable issues that helped us during our approach to the creation of our questionnaires. Brian was able to efficiently organize our questionnaires and support Devid during the brainstorming of our questionnaires. Piseth was able to effectively execute and ask the farmers, adding on questions and making the interview flow smoothly and naturally. During our research for secondary data, it was extremely frustrating since we couldn’t find much statistics to compare to our own collected data, and we decided to just put it off. I decided to work on the final outcome by myself when it came to the editing since I figured it would only slow down my efforts if I were to work with others. If I were given a chance to redo this work, I would set our deadlines earlier as I feel like we got off to a slow start as we weren’t able to adjust to the rapid stream of work.
