Pathway
STEM learning works best in milestones.
A long pathway sequences question design, knowledge mapping, testing, prototyping, and communication.
In the QKV method, this topic is not a slogan. It becomes a working checkpoint. Students should be able to attach a document, sketch, test result, data note, mentor comment, or revised slide to show how the idea improved.
How students should use this topic
- Write the current question in one sentence.
- Name the evidence that would make the project stronger.
- Identify one assumption that needs to be tested.
- Record what changed after feedback.
What mentors should review
Mentors should look for the chain between question, knowledge, test, result, and next decision. If that chain is missing, the project may look complete but still be weak.
