IB Psychology Internal Assessment (IA)
Internal Assessment (IA) is an integral part of the course, contributing 25% to the final assessment. IA enables students to demonstrate the application of their skills and knowledge, and to pursue their personal interests, without the time limitations and other constraints that are associated with written examinations. The internal assessment should, as far as possible, be woven into normal classroom teaching and not be a separate activity conducted after a course has been taught. Standard level students are required to plan, undertake and report a replication of a simple experimental study. The work will be internally assessed by the teacher and externally moderated by the IB.
