Explanation
Skill Why did I select this skill
Plan long and short term assignments/ meet I am usually very disorganized, this causes
deadlines. stress and anxiety. Fort he Project, for
school and life, I would like to develop this
skill to be organized, do things in time
without forgetting, and for reducing my
stress levels.
Practise empathy. I am sometimes closed-minded. I would
like to develop this skill to listen and
understand others, in order to gain
different perspectives, and work
collaboratively, which is something that I
need a little for the Project, but a lot in
school and life.
Focus on the process of creating by imitating the I am sometimes stubborn and prideful,
work of others and this makes me avoid taking others as
examples. I think developing this skill is
very important, since I will have to follow
existing methods and products, to produce
my own, but it is also important for future
work in school and life.
Practise observing carefully in order to recognize I usually rush in things, and don ´t take the
problems. time to look closely for errors. This skill
can help to find errors in my procedure
and product, but also grammatical errors
in my writing. It will be very helpful both
for the Project and other work.
Use brainstorming and visual diagrams to generate I usually rush in things and I don ´t take the
new ideas and inquiries. time to brainstorm and evaluate ideas.
This skill is very important for the planning
of my product, since I will have to narrow
down on ideas and choose the best for the
final production. I will also need it in other
parts of my project and for future work in
school and life.
Change the context of an inquiry to gain different I usually look at things very directly, and
perspectives. because of this I don ´t obtain all the
information that I could. I will need this
skill for my research mostly and it will help
in DP, school and future life.
Compare, contrast and draw connections among I do have this skill, but not at the level I
(multi)media resources believe I require it. I chose a
transdisiplinary Project, which requires
making connections between a series of
subjects and comparing and contrasting
the information to obtain a good overview
of the information, and to make adequate
choices. I believe this skill will also help me
to synthesize and become more critical.
Organize and depict information logically. I am usually very disorganized. I have good
ideas but I do not depict the information
logically and organized. I would like to
acquire this skill, since it would make the
communication much more effective in my
work inside and outside the Project.
Collaborate with peers and experts using a I do use this skill to a certain extent.
variety of digital environments and media. However, I do not collaborate always
through digital environments, and this is
something very important tin our current
time for the Project and everything else.
Create references and citations, use I do not know referencing rules and I
footnotes/endnotes and construct a bibliography usually don ´t produce footnotes. Because
according to recognized conventions.
of this I would like to acquire this skill,
since it would help me with my
bibliography and to make the pictures in
 my process journal understandable. It will
also help me in the future and other
Works.
