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

To what extent does the stiffness of the shaft (Stiff, Medium, Flexi) influence the relationship between Smash Factor and Total carry distance (+-1 yard) measured with a TrackMan (+-0.1%) achieved by amateur golfers (aged 16 – 18)?HL

Criteria A: Research design

5/6

Criteria StrandsPro

A.1Research question context

Excellent

A.2Methodological considerations

Good

A.3Reproducibility of methodology

Moderate

Criteria Feedback

The student situates the investigation in a clear and relevant sporting context with a defined participant group, variables, and measurement system.
The student identifies and discusses many important methodological factors that could affect the results, including safety, consent, fatigue, and equipment control.
The student's method has enough detail in several places to make the general structure of the investigation understandable.

Some important control variables are acknowledged but not fully operationalised, especially equipment features such as loft, shaft length, and shaft mass.
The research question is a little conceptually blurred because the roles of the variables are not always matched cleanly between the question, method, and analysis.
A few methodological choices need more detail, especially randomisation, rest periods, and how conditions were ordered.

Criteria B: Data analysis

5/6

Criteria StrandsPro

B.1Communication of data

Good

B.2Consideration of uncertainties

Poor

B.3Processing quality

Poor

Criteria Feedback

The student presents a substantial amount of raw data and organizes it clearly enough for the reader to follow the investigation.
The student uses summary statistics, graphs, and statistical tests to process the results in ways that are relevant to the research question.
The student shows some awareness of variation and uncertainty by including spread measures, error bars, and mention of measurement limitations.

Some numerical values are inconsistent across sections, which weakens confidence in the processed results.
The treatment of uncertainty is not always appropriate, especially when standard deviation and measurement error are interpreted too confidently.
Some statistical interpretation is inaccurate, particularly where significance, p-values, and reliability are mixed together.
