    How Our One-to-One IB Global Politics IA Tutoring Works

    Our tutoring is one-to-one and fully online.

    You work directly with your IB Global Politics tutor in live lessons. There is no group class. You have time to discuss your own project and ask questions about the areas where you need help.

    Your needs may also change as the project develops.

    At first, the discussion may focus on your political issue. Later, you may want to talk about your engagement or research. As you get closer to submission, your lessons can focus more on analysis, reflection, or the report.

    Political Issue

    IB Global Politics IA: What Is the Engagement Project?

    The IB Global Politics IA is commonly known as the Engagement Project. Internal Assessment is a term many students still use when talking about this part of the course.

    In the current Global Politics course, both SL and HL students complete an Engagement Project. The project allows students to explore a political issue through experiential learning. Research adds to this experience and helps develop an understanding of the issue and the different perspectives around it. The project ends with a written report.

    The project is more than a written assignment.

    There are several parts to bring together. This includes the political issue, the engagement, the research, and the reflection that follows the experience.

    For many students, bringing all these parts together can feel difficult at first.

    Political Issue

    Engagement

    Research

    Reflection

    This is where our IB Global Politics IA tutor can work with you. We discuss your ideas, look at where you are with the project, and help you understand the next stage.

    You remain responsible for your own work. We provide the guidance and feedback you need along the way.

    Political Issue

    How Our Tutor Helps You Choose the Right Political Issue

    Choosing a political issue can be difficult.

    You may have a topic that interests you. But it may be too broad for the project. You may also have a local issue and be unsure how it fits into Global Politics.

    GP

    The IB Global Politics course examines political activity at the local, national, international, and global levels. It also encourages students to explore political issues through real-world examples and different perspectives.

    Our tutor works with you to examine your idea from a Global Politics perspective.

    We discuss what makes the issue political.

    We look at the people and groups connected to it.

    We also consider the different views that may exist around the issue.

    If your idea needs more focus, we can help you narrow it down. If you are unsure about its potential, we can discuss where the project could go.

    The aim is to find an issue that gives you something meaningful to explore.
    Engagement Project Planning

    How Our IB Global Politics IA Tutor Helps You Plan Your Engagement Project

    A clear plan makes the project easier to manage.

    You may already have a political issue in mind. You may even have a research question. But you may still be unsure about your engagement or the next steps.

    GP

    The IB places importance on planning, researching, and reflecting as part of meaningful engagement.

    We help you bring these parts together.

    01

    We discuss your political issue and what you want to learn from it.

    02

    We look at the people or groups connected to the issue.

    03

    Then we discuss possible ways of engaging with them.

    We also support you with your research plans. Together, we look at how your engagement and research can work in tandem.

    A good plan gives you a much clearer starting point. Need help planning your Engagement Project?
    Finding the Right Engagement

    How Our Tutor Helps You Find the Right Engagement

    This is where many students get stuck.

    You may know your issue. You may even have your research question. But you may still be wondering:

    ? What should I actually do for my engagement?
    GP

    The IB describes the Engagement Project as an opportunity to study a political issue through experiential learning. Students engage with individuals and groups involved in the issue. They then use research to develop their understanding of different perspectives.

    The right engagement depends on your issue.

    You might speak with a stakeholder.

    You might attend a meeting or workshop.

    You may take part in a relevant community activity.

    Another form of engagement may make more sense for your project.

    We can discuss these options with you.

    We look at what you want to learn. We consider who could give you a useful perspective. We also discuss what each type of engagement could add to your project.

    The activity itself does not have to be complicated. What matters is how well it fits the political issue you are exploring.

    We help you find an engagement that makes sense for your political issue.

    Not sure what your engagement should be?

    Stakeholders & Perspectives

    How Our Tutor Helps You Work With Stakeholders and Different Perspectives

    A political issue can look very different to different people.

    A government body may see it one way. A community group may have another view. People directly affected by the issue may see it differently again.

    A government body may see it one way.

    A community group may have another view.

    People directly affected by the issue may see it differently again.

    GP

    The Global Politics course places strong emphasis on multiple perspectives. The Engagement Project allows students to engage with people and groups involved in a political issue.

    Our tutor can help you identify the stakeholders who are relevant to your issue.

    01

    We discuss their interests and positions.

    02

    We look at what you may learn from each perspective.

    If you plan to speak with someone, we can also help you prepare for the conversation. You can discuss the questions you want to ask and what you hope to learn.

    This gives your engagement a clearer purpose.
    Engagement Project Report

    How Our Tutor Helps You Develop Your Engagement Project Report

    Your written report brings the project together.

    For the current course, the Engagement Project report is limited to 2,000 words. The assessment includes areas such as the justification for the project, methodology, links with course content, engagement activities, analysis and synthesis, evaluation, reflection and communication.

    HL

    For HL students, there is an additional requirement.

    You also formulate a separate recommendation that addresses the political issue explored in your report. The recommendation can be up to 400 words and is separate from the 2,000-word report.

    Bringing everything together within these limits can be difficult.

    Our tutor can discuss the different parts of the report with you.

    We can look at your structure and the way you are using your research.

    You can also bring your draft to the lesson and discuss it with your tutor.

    Research & Evidence

    How Our Tutor Helps You Research and Use Evidence

    Research is an important part of the Engagement Project.

    The IB expects students to complement their experiential learning with research and theoretical perspectives. This research should help deepen understanding of the political issue.

    Finding information is not usually the hardest part.

    ? The harder question is often:

    Which information is actually useful for my project?

    Our IB Global Politics IA tutor helps you identify useful sources and collect relevant evidence.

    We also help you examine different perspectives and connect your findings to your political issue and research question.

    01

    You may have information from an interview or another engagement.

    02

    You may also have material from reports, articles, books, or other sources.

    We can look at these different pieces of evidence with you.

    Your tutor can help you see how they fit together and where they connect with your political issue.

    Good research should help you understand the issue. It should not simply make your report longer.
    Analysis & Reflection

    How Our Tutor Helps You Analyze Your Findings and Reflect on Your Engagement

    The Engagement Project is not simply a description of what happened during your engagement.

    The experience can give you new information, different perspectives, and a better understanding of the issue.

    The IB highlights the importance of planning, researching, and reflecting in the Engagement Project. It also emphasizes diverse perspectives and the development of a deeper understanding of political issues.

    Our tutor gives you space to discuss what you found.

    We can talk through what you learned from the engagement. We can assess whether your understanding of the issue has changed. We can also explore how your experience connects with your research.

    ?

    Sometimes an important finding is something you did not expect.

    You can discuss that with your tutor and work through what it means for your project.

    Your reflection should come from your own experience. We help you make sense of that experience and express your ideas clearly.
    Assessment Criteria

    How Our IB Global Politics IA Tutor Helps You Understand the Assessment Criteria

    The Engagement Project is assessed against specific requirements. Understanding these requirements can make it easier to see where your project needs more attention.

    The current assessment looks at how you justify your project, explain your methodology, connect the political issue to course content, discuss your engagement activities, and analyze and synthesize the political issue and stakeholder perspectives. The project also requires evaluation, reflection, and clear communication.

    Our IB Global Politics IA tutor can help you understand what these assessment requirements mean for your own project.

    We look at your political issue, engagement and research together. We discuss how your evidence supports your analysis and where your perspectives connect with the political issue.

    01

    Justification

    We discuss the focus of your project and the reasons behind your chosen political issue.

    02
