IB Sports, exercise and health science (SEHS) SL Internal Assessment Example

To what extent does muscular endurance (seconds), balance (seconds) and power (cm), measured with a wall sit until failure (±0.001s) a stork balance test (±0.001s) and a standing long jump (cm) impact pirouette success by average number of rotations in 15 intermediately trained female dancers aged 14-15?SL

IB Grade: 6

Criteria A: Research design

5/6

Criteria StrandsPro

A.1Research question context

Excellent

A.2Methodological considerations

Good

A.3Reproducibility of methodology

Poor

Criteria Feedback

The student framed the investigation in a clear, specific dance-science context and identified the key variables precisely.
The student's methodological planning shows strong awareness of ethics, participant safety, control of confounding variables, and standardisation.
The research question is focused and measurable, which gives the study a coherent direction.

Some methodological choices are not fully justified in terms of how they improve data quality.
A few procedural details are missing or contradictory, which reduces reproducibility.
The wording of the question implies causation more strongly than the method can support.

Criteria B: Data analysis

4/6

Criteria StrandsPro

B.1Communication of data

Moderate

B.2Consideration of uncertainties

Poor

B.3Processing quality

Moderate

Criteria Feedback

The student presents a meaningful amount of raw and processed data using tables, descriptive statistics, scattergraphs, trendlines, and regression equations.
The student makes a genuine attempt to deal with outliers and to compare relationships across the different physical tests.
The overall pattern of the data is communicated clearly enough for a reader to follow the student's main findings.

The student's treatment of uncertainty is limited and not consistently built into the analysis.
Some interpretations overstate what the data can prove, especially where correlation is treated too confidently.
The qualitative/coach-rating data is not fully analysed alongside the physical test data, so the analysis is incomplete.
