Assessment Cover Sheet
Purpose of Assessment:
The Design and Deconstruct Practical allows students to:
 participate in an ethically approved investigation (Research Program – Music), present your results in an appropriate format,
and suggest a conclusion that could be made from the data you obtained
 evaluate the method and analyse the data obtained
 deconstruct a problem related to the Music investigation, and
 design a method – without implementation - to investigate this problem.
Description of assessment
The report you are required to produce should contain three sections:
Completion Practical (Part A)

1. The Results section of your report requires:
 a presentation of the collated class data in an appropriate format
 a conclusion made from the data you obtained.
Analysis and Evaluation
This section of your report could include:
 an explanation of the design type used in the Research Program – Music
 an evaluation of the choice of participants
 evaluations of the strengths and/or limitations of the investigation
 a suggestion for increasing the reliability of the data, justifying your answer
 a suggestion for increasing the validity of the data, justifying your answer.
Deconstruction (Part B)
2. The Deconstruction section of the report requires you to consider how you could conduct new research addressing a problem
related to this investigation.
You could do this by including:
 a consideration of how different factors regarding music as well as other variables can affect emotion
 identification of the dependent and independent variables
 a consideration of the factors that should be held constant, with a description of how these factors could be controlled
 identification of factors that may not be able to be controlled
 a consideration of the sampling method and sample size
Design (Part B)
3. The Design section of your report must include:
 a hypothesis or an investigable question
 a list of materials required
 a detailed method to test your hypothesis or question
 identification and management of ethical risks
 suggestions for the results that would support your hypothesis
 explanations of the limitations of the investigation or the conclusions that could be drawn
 references (if applicable).
You could annotate your design to explain why you have made the decisions you have made.
Assessment Conditions:
For this investigation, students present an individual report.

The report should be a maximum of 1000 words if written, or a maximum of 6 minutes for an oral presentation, or the
equivalent in multimodal form.
The deconstruct and design section should be on no more than 3 single sided A4 sheets of paper.
