Hi everyone welcome to my blog, we are now in week 4
of our class. We have learned how to look up various sources, and this week we
had the opportunity to learn the proper, correct and best way to locate a Scholarly
(Peer Reviewed) Journal. This week’s assignment gave me the opportunity to learn
what Scholarly or Peer Reviewed Journals really are, and the importance and
weight they carry in research. Something
great that I learned from this week’s assignment was that we can always look
into the references that the scholarly articles might have used as a possible
lead, especially if we are having issues finding other scholarly sources. Another important thing that I learned from
this week’s assignment is that we can narrow our search by publication date. Being
able to narrow our search by date allows us to make sure that the information we
are using in our research is accurate and up to date. Wonderful right?
As far as frustration and difficulties I would have to
say that the worst part of this week’s assignment was actually having to think
about what question I really want to answer with my research. There is so many things that I want to research
and learn about that narrowing my question really seemed impossible. Knowing how to be a successful teacher seems
to encompass so much, and student engagement seems to be crucial in order to
succeed.
Hi Norma,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you found some good tips. I think it is important to have as much current information as possible to help with research but sometimes it is good to have older publications because they also provide valuable information. Your research topic is the key. Finding scholarly journals was a little more challenging for me as I was searching for journals directly pertaining to my research topic. In finding a question for my research that was easier for me. Overall, it sounds like you developed some good knowledge to date on how to conduct research for your paper.
