Guidelines for Written Report

The written report is a summary of everything that you did to investigate your topic. The
written report provides others with vital information on what your project is about as
well as its effect on your understanding of the topic. Usually, the written report is 5-30
pages in length. All information must be included in the written report. This report
provides you with the opportunity to think about all the aspects of our project and share
your ideas with others. Reports should be neatly bounded in an attractive binder. It must
be typewritten.

· Typed, doubled spaced. One inch margins, and 12 pt. Times New Roman Font
· Remember to put headings/titles on graphs/charts/tables
· All photographs must have captions explaining their significance
· Before you hand in your report make sure to reread, revise, and rewrite
· Recheck your calculations, spelling, and grammar.

All written report for a Vasudha project should include:

Title Page: The first page in the report should include the title of the project as well
as the name and grade of the student.

Acknowledgment: Here is where you thank everyone who helped to make your
project successful (including Mom and Dad.) Everyone that you interviewed,
including teachers, scientists, and other experts in the field should be mentioned
here.

Table of Content: This page provides the reader with a list of the different parts of
the project and the page number on which each section can be found.

Statement of Purpose: State the purpose of the project in the form of a question.

Hypothesis: You must have a hypothesis before you complete the project. A
hypothesis is an educated guess about what you think will occur as a result from
completing your experiment.

Research: This is the part of the report that contains all the background information
that you collected about your topic. Any books or articles read from the
internet/journal, authorities on the topic that you talked to, or outside materials
collected should be summarized in this section. This section should be written in your
own words and NOT copied from your resources.

Materials: This is a list of all the materials and supplies used in the project. Quantities
and amounts of each should also be indicated.

Procedure: You will list and describe the steps you took to complete the project. Usually
this is listed in a numbered sequence. This part shows the stages of the project so that
another person can carry out the experiment.
Observations and Results: In this section, you will tell what you learned from the
project. It is also IMPORTANT to include all graphs, charts, or other visual data
(pictures) that help to show your results.

Conclusion: This is a brief statement explaining why your project turned out the way it
did. You should explain why the events you observed occurred. Using the word
“because” is a good way to turn an observation into a conclusion. The conclusion should
tell whether the hypothesis was proven or not proven. Also give the reason(s) why you
chose to learn more about the subject. You could also add what you know now that you
didn’t know before you completed your project.

Reference: Enlist the details of all references which you have used for project

+ The Project can be inter-disciplinary in theme. The ideas/issues highlighted in the

Chapters/ poems/ drama given the prescribed books can also be developed in the
form of a project. Students can also take up any relevant and age-appropriate
Theme. Such topics may be taken up that provide students with opportunities for
Listening and speaking. Some suggestions are as follows:

A-Interview-Based research:
Example:
Students can choose a topic on which to do their research/ interview, e.g. a
Student can choose the topic : Evolving food tastes in my neighbourhood or
Corona pandemic and the fallout on families. Read the available literature. * The
Student then conducts interviews with a few neighbours on the topic. For an
Interview, with the help of the teacher, student will frame questions based on the
Preliminary research/background.

The student will then write an essay/ write up / report etc. up to 1000 words on His/her
research and submit it.

He / She will then take a viva on the research project. The project can be done in
individually or in pairs/ groups

B-Listen to podcasts/ interviews/radio or TV documentary on a topic and prepare a

report countering or agreeing with the speakers. Write an 800 – 1000 words report and
submit. Take a viva on the report.

C- Students create their own video/ Audio, after writing a script. Before they decide a
format, the following elements can be taken into consideration:

Theme/topic of the audio / video. Would the child like to pick a current issue or
something artistic like theatre? What are the elements that need to be part of the script?
Will the video/audio have an interview with one or more guests? Would they prefer to
improvise while chatting with guests, or work from a script? What would be the duration?
How would they present the script/report to the teacher,
e.g. Can it be in the form of a narrative?

D-Write, direct and present a theatrical production, /One act play

This will be a project which will be done as a team. It will involve planning, preparation
and
presentation. In short, various language skills will be utilised. There will be researching,
discussion, writing the script, auditioning and ultimately producing the play. The project
will end with a presentation and subsequently a viva.

Teachers will be able to assess the core language skills of the students and help them
grow as 21st century critical thinkers.

Project Work + Viva: 10 Marks

Out of ten marks, 5 marks will be allotted for the project report/script /essay etc. and 5
marks for the viva.

The Project-Portfolio may include the following:

1. Cover page, with title of project, school details/details of students.

 2. Statement of purpose/objectives/goals
3. Certificate of completion under the guidance of the teacher.

Q9. Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D and M.
Symbol Value
I 1
V 5
X 10
L 50
C 100
D 500
M 1000
For example, 2 is written as II in Roman numeral, just two one's added together. 12 is
written as XII, which is simply X + II. The number 27 is written as XXVII, which is XX + V +
II.
Roman numerals are usually written largest to smallest from left to right. However, the
numeral for four is not IIII. Instead, the number four is written as IV. Because the one is
before the five, we subtract it making four. The same principle applies to the number
nine, which is written as IX. There are six instances where subtraction is used:
 I can be placed before V (5) and X (10) to make 4 and 9.
 X can be placed before L (50) and C (100) to make 40 and 90.
 C can be placed before D (500) and M (1000) to make 400 and 900.
Write a User Defined Function which takes a string (Roman Numeral) as an argument
and returns the integer equivalent.
def romanToInt(s):
return Ans
print(romanToInt(‘LVIII’)) should print 58
print(romanToInt(‘MCMXCIV’)) should print 1994
Q10. Data can be represented in memory in different ways Binary, Decimal, Octal, and
Hexadecimal. Input number in decimal and desired type (Specify B for Binary, O for
Octal, H for Hexadecimal) for output.
Write a function to perform the conversions-
SAMPLE INPUT 12
DESIRED TYPE B
Result: 1100

5. Introduction to Case Study [Heading Page]

 Define Psychology, mental processes, experiences and behaviour [class XI book]
 Define Psychological test: Standardisation, objectivity, reliability and its types,
validity and norms [Class XI book]
 Define case profile
Case profile is an essential part of case study. Henceforth, case profile is a narrow term if
compared to case study. It contains general information about the participant, and we don’t
diagnose the participant but only suggest preventive steps of better management of life events like
stress, adjustment issue etc. The case profile includes developmental history of the participant
using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
A case study is an in-depth study of the individual in terms of his/her psychological attributes,
psychological history in the context of his/her psycho-social and physical environment. Case
studies are analyses of persons, events, decisions, periods, projects, policies, institutions, or other
systems that are studied holistically by one or more method. The case that is the participant of the
inquiry will be an instance of a class of phenomena that provides an analytical frame —
an object — within which the study is conducted and which the case illuminates and explicates.
Case studies are widely used by clinical psychologists, case analyses of the lives of great people
can also be highly illuminating for those willing to learn from their life experiences.
The case study method often involves simply observing what happens to, or reconstructing ‘the
case history’ of a single participant or group of individuals (such as a school class or a specific
social group), i.e. the idiographic approach. Case studies allow a researcher to investigate a topic
in far more detail than might be possible if they were trying to deal with a large number of
research participants (nomothetic approach) with the aim of ‘averaging’.

The case study is not itself a research method, but researchers select methods of data collection
and analysis that will generate material suitable for case studies such as qualitative
techniques (unstructured interviews, participant observation, diaries), personal notes (e.g. letters,
photographs, notes) or official document (e.g. case notes, clinical notes, appraisal reports).

The data collected can be analyzed using different theories (e.g. grounded theory, interpretative
phenomenological analysis, text interpretation (e.g. thematic coding) etc. All the approaches
mentioned here use preconceived categories in the analysis and they are ideographic in their
approach, i.e. they focus on the individual case without reference to a comparison group.
Case studies are widely used in psychology and amongst the best known were the ones carried out
by Sigmund Freud. He conducted very detailed investigations into the private lives of his patients
in an attempt to both understand and help them overcome their illnesses.
The main characteristics of the case study
1. A descriptive study
a. (I.e. the data collected constitute descriptions of psychological processes and events, and of the
contexts in which they occurred (qualitative data).
b. The main emphasis is always on the construction of verbal descriptions of behaviour or
experience but quantitative data may be collected.
c. High levels of detail are provided.
2. Narrowly focused.
a. Typically a case study offers a description of only a single individual, and sometimes about
groups.
b. Often the case study focuses on a limited aspect of a person, such as their psychopathological
symptoms.
3. Combines objective and subjective data
a. i.e. the researcher may combine objective and subjective data: All are regarded as valid data for
analysis, and as a basis for inferences within the case study.
i. The objective description of behaviour and its context
ii. Details of the subjective aspect, such as feelings, beliefs, impressions or interpretations. In fact,
a case study is uniquely able to offer a means of achieving an in-depth understanding of the
behaviour and experience of a single individual.
4. Process-oriented.
a. The case study method enables the researcher to explore and describe the nature of processes,
which occur over time.
b. In contrast to the experimental method, which basically provides a stilled ‘snapshot’ of
processes, which may be continuing over time like for example the development of language in
children over time.
Strengths of Case Studies
 Provides detailed (rich qualitative) information.
 Provides insight for further research.
 Permitting investigation of otherwise impractical (or unethical) situations.
Case studies give psychological researchers the possibility to investigate cases, which could not
possibly be engineered in research laboratories. For example, the Money Case Study.
Case studies are often used in exploratory research. They can help us generate new ideas (that
might be tested by other methods). They are an important way of illustrating theories and can help
show how different aspects of a person's life are related to each other. The method is therefore
important for psychologists who adopt a holistic point of view (i.e. humanistic psychologists).
Limitations of Case Studies
 Can’t generalise the results to the wider population.
 Researchers own subjective feeling may influence the case study (researcher bias).
 Difficult to replicate.
 Time consuming.
Because a case study deals with only one person/event/group we can never be sure whether
conclusions drawn from this particular case apply elsewhere. The results of the study are not
generalisable because we can never know whether the case we have investigated is representative
of the wider body of "similar" instances
Because they are based on the analysis of qualitative (i.e. descriptive) data a lot depends on the
interpretation the psychologist places on the information she has acquired. This means that there is
a lot of scope for observer’s bias and it could be that the participant’s opinions of the psychologist
intrude in the assessment of what the data means.
Types of Case Study
On the basis of number of individuals:
 Person/individual: The study of one single individual, generally using several different
research methods. Since there is only one individual, it emphasises analysis in depth. Such
individual case study is a time honoured procedure in the field of medicine and medical
researchers.
 Group/Community: The study of a single distinctive set of people, such as a family or
small group of friends. Such a case study is a thorough observation and analysis of a group
of people who are living together in a particular geographical territory. It tries to deal with
various elements of the community life such as economic activity, climatic and natural
resources, historical development, social life values, health and education etc.
On the basis of purpose:
 Deviant Case analysis: The researcher starts with difference already found between
two people or groups and his/her task is to read backwards, to deduce the condition that
might have produced the differences.
 Isolated Clinical Case Analysis: Related to individual units with respect to some
analytical problems, such studies have become popular in psychoanalysis.
Methods used in Case study
 Observation of behaviour, characteristics and social qualities of the unit by the
researcher
 Use of questionnaires, opinions, inventories, checklists and other psychological tests
 Analysis of recorded data from schools, clinics, courts, newspapers and similar sources
 Interviewing the participant’s friends, relatives and significant others.
 Participant observation: Involves the researcher actually serving as a participant in
events and observing the actions and outcomes.

percentile on the scoring table of the SCAT scoring manual. This indicates an extremely high level* of
anxiety which leads to development of emotional and even physical consequential issues like feelings of
disturbance and lack of attention in the face of stressful situations. The participant is unable to deal with
extremely stressful situations with a calm attitude and ends up being highly anxious and physically
fatigued.]
