WISS Career-Related Studies | Reflective Project

The IB Career-related Programme has four elements: Language Development, Service Learning, Personal and Professional Skills, and the Reflective Project. These elements are known as the CP Core.

国际文凭组织职业教育项目有围绕着语言发展、服务学习、个人和专业技能以及反思项目的四大要素。这些要素被认为是职业教育项目的核心。

The Reflective Project is a 3,000-word assignment focusing on an ethical dilemma within the student’s career-related study. As our Grade 12 students finalize these projects, our Grade 11 students prepare for them by learning about ethics in their Personal and Professional Skills class.

Students begin by analyzing, debating, and discussing hypothetical ethical dilemmas. These topics are often difficult to analyze as there is usually no correct answer. Topics can also be sensitive, so students are naturally stimulated to think outside the box and intuitively discuss, considering multiple perspectives. It is a fantastic opportunity for students to show the open-mindedness and risk-taking skills that they have developed throughout their time at WISS while learning within the IB framework.

反思项目是一项研究与学生职业相关的伦理问题的3000字的学习任务。当12年级的学生完成这些项目时，11年级的学生正通过人和专业技能课上对道德知识的学习来为此做准备。学生们从分析、辩论和讨论假设的伦理困境开始。这些话题通常很难分析，因为它通常没有正确答案。有时候也会有一些敏感话题，学生们会自然而然地跳出固有思维，并从多个角度更直观地思考。这对学生们来说将是一个绝佳的机会——在学习国际文凭组织课程的同时，去展示他们在WISS学习期间形成的开放性思维和勇于尝试的能力。

Once they have studied ethics and explored multiple theoretical and real-world examples, students progress to more specific dilemmas within their chosen field of study. This requires extensive research and an excellent understanding of current issues within their subject area and potential future issues which could affect their lives as they progress to studying and working in this field. Students will spend a lot of time getting their question just right so that it is specific enough to approach with breadth and depth within the limit of 3,000 words. The challenge is rarely having enough words and often being precise and concise enough to fully explore an ethical dilemma in so few words.

当他们学习了伦理学并探索了多种或假设或真实的案例后，他们就会在所选择的研究领域中探究更具体的伦理问题。而随着在该领域的学习及研究，学生们将要进行广泛地研究，并对其学科领域内当前存在的问题、影响未来生活的潜在问题有很好地理解。学生们在确定合适的选题上将花费大量时间，以便在3000字的篇幅内实现有足够广度及深度地探讨。它的难度并不在于凑够字数而是如何精炼自己的语言，在这么短的篇幅中去充分地探讨一个伦理问题。
