How do the streaming
services affect the behavior
of the teenagers?
Kotsanis Constantinos

Goal setting
For the purpose of this project we are
focusing on Netflix.
Most of my friends watch movies, TV
shows and serials but they do not watch
educational movies and documentaries.
I want to prove that there is a relation
between amount of time spent on these
streaming services and the influence on
the behavior of the viewers.

Self motivation
• I want to become a Netflix
member myself and that gave me
the motivation to research things
about Netflix.
• Some of the serials of Netflix
cannot be shown to the TV.
Especially I want to see horror
and mystery movies.
• In addition I can take a small
piece of information in order to
use in my real life activities.

AQA PROJECT
TITLE:
“How has the increase of pet
population
influenced the way of living
in big cities!”
STUDENT:
IOANNA NEFELI POLYMENIDI

“Phase A:
Forethought Goal Setting
The goal of this research is
to study and analyze the effect caused by the
increase of pet population in big cities, and the
influence on people’s life, during the last years.

“Phase A:
Forethought
➢ Born and grew up in Athens metropolitan area, in Greece, an urban region with a big
population, I have been always inspired by the social phenomena and the
consequences they have on the life of people.
➢ AQA project, which offered by my School was not just a new academic task to me. It
was a new opportunity for realizing my skills and capabilities.

“Phase B:
Performance
Control
➢ Based on the outline plan and the revisions made with the assistance of
my supervisor I remained focused on the steps of my project.
➢ Some changes were applied for the title to be more specific and the final
report more focused.

“Phase B:
Performance
Control
Help Seeking
Supervisor/Mentor Contribution:
➢ My supervisor advised me on how to develop the special questionnaire so that it
reflects the goals of my project.
➢ Additional advices were also given to me so that to keep my analysis focused on
the scope of the research.

“

Phase C:
Self-
Reflection
Project Review & Questions:
• Is my project following my original plan?
• How has my plan developed?
• What is going well?
• What changes have been made? Why?
Final Evaluation:

of the greenhouse effect?
STUDENT:
Fotis Tsianos

“Phase B:
Performanc
e Control
I was working on daily basis with my project
and I also recorded whatever I found and
every source that I used. Furthermore I wrote
my mentor’s advice and everything I had in my
mind.

“Phase B:
Performance
Control
I was personally asking advice only from
my mentor, which helped me to set my
sub questions and organize my
presentation and my report. Moreover I
asked help from my English teacher, so
what I was writing to be understandable .

✦ Found my mistakes and the reason they were made:
✓Keep the plan
✓Make a research, not a bibliography e.t.c.

AQA PROJECT
TITLE:
How the 9/11 terrorism attack
affected psychologically and
emotionally the American citizens?
STUDENT:
Anna Stathopoulou

“Phase A:
Forethought Goal
Setting
The goal of this study was to showcase how
an event like this one can truly affect every
person mentally and psychologically, from the
ones who watched from distance or in their
television to the ones that suffered actually
sustained injuries and unfortunately died from
this terrorism attack in the Twin Towers on
9/11, a date that marked the whole world at
heart and mind.

“Phase A:
Forethought
My self motivation was that nobody
really focused on how the American
citizens felt and the psychological
factor but they studies usually focus
on the economical, religious and
political factors that don’t really
showcase the main affects of it for
the mind and soul. And that is why is
chose this project and that was my
self-motivation.

“Phase B:
Performance
Control
When I got a comment from my
supervisor I immediately wrote it down in
my journal and that’s how I managed not
to lose the track of time and most of the
times be on time for my deadlines. The
journal showcases the beginning,
development and ending of my project
and the differences of all stages and how
my project developed in all its stages.

“Phase B:
Performance
Control
Help
Seeking
I mainly got help from my
supervisor, the
psychologist of our high
school with the interview,
my classmates that
answered the
questionnaire and friends
and family that watched
live from television that
unfortunate event.

“
42
Phase C:
Self-
Reflection
I hardly self-evaluated my work
because I knew at the beginning that I
did not take it that seriously but when I
got to see my work development, my
progress and how my work affected
positively the project I was really
happy with what I created and that I
should not be so harsh on myself. But
I could have done better with some
deadlines.

AQA PROJECT
TITLE:
“How Space Weather has
already affected earth and
how it will affect Europe in the
next 50 years?”
STUDENT:
Panagiotis Georgiou

CLIMATE”
“How Space Weather has already affected earth
and how it will affect Europe in the next 50 years?”
*NAME: PANAGIOTIS
GEORGIOU
*YEAR: 2018-2019

“Phase A:
“Phase A:
During this project, I had 3 main goals:
1) I wanted to learn, through my research,
more about space and space phenomena.
2) I wanted to study the effects of Space
Weather on our planet.
3) I wanted to do an original project and
search about something unknown to me.

“Phase A:
Forethought
In order to motivate myself, to finish and make the best
out of my project, I tried to develop it with different ways.
For this reason except creating a PowerPoint
Presentation, my final project product consisted from
many different things. For example I made a
questionnaire that I distributed to my classmates, in order
to collect data about the awareness of students on these
topics. So, by making different things, I kept myself
interested and achieved to finish my project.

“Phase B:
Performance
Control
An important factor which helped me complete my project
was the Journal (LogBook). My journal played a decisive part in
the development of my project, for many different reasons:
❖ First of all, it worked as a guideline for me, because it helped
me plan and keep track of my progress.
❖ Also it was a reason to discuss with my supervisor, due to
some questions that I need her help to answer.
❖ Lastly, because I had in one place my ideas, the links of my
resources, the deadlines and all the important information for
my project.

“Phase B:
Performance
Control
Help Seeking
Specifically, for my project there was not a third person involvement
(except the questionnaire), it was just me and my supervisor.
I believe that the help from the supervisor, is a really important asset.
Because, it is a person that watches the whole project from a different
viewpoint than yours and has another opinion on some things. The
discussion with the supervisor is surely really important, because it makes
you see the less stronger parts of your project, so that you will be able to
improve it.

“
50
Phase C:
Self-
Reflection
In the end, I believe that I was able to produce
a really nice and accurate piece of work.
Although, they were difficulties and things-
steps that did not go as planned, I think that I
managed to overcome them. However, at the
same time, I had the chance to develop some
really useful skills, like the presentation ones.
From my point of view, I think that my final
product was complete and on the whole, I
really liked the general experience of the AQA
project presentation
