If students wish to work collaboratively, all work should be planned in consultation with the teacher. The teacher’s role is vital in monitoring the individual’s contribution to the collaborative project. The final assessment is of individual students, so each student’s artwork must show evidence of his or her individual achievements within a particular project. The investigation workbooks are vital in documenting each individual’s development of ideas and contribution to the project. Teacher comments relating to collaborative work, to be noted in the candidate record booklets, are also very important.
