A.1Research question and inquiry
Excellent
Criteria Feedback
- You give strong background context for the environmental issue and connect it clearly to both global and local land-use change.
- The investigation is anchored in a specific site, which makes the question focused and meaningful.
- Your research question is comparative and measurable, so it can be answered with field data.
- The wording around “built-up areas” and turf is imprecise and weakens scientific accuracy.
- Some terminology in the question is not fully consistent, which slightly reduces precision.
- The local framing would be stronger if the comparable land-use category were defined more carefully.

Excellent
Criteria Feedback
- You identify strategies that clearly relate to the environmental issue and the research question.
- You explain tensions between stakeholder priorities rather than simply listing perspectives.
- Your discussion shows awareness that environmental management involves trade-offs.
- Some tensions would be stronger if tied to specific stakeholders and evidence rather than remaining general.
- A few examples need more concrete explanation of how the conflict operates in practice.
- The strategy discussion would benefit from sharper focus on the most important trade-off in the school context.
