DESCRIPTION
Are the students in your high school prepared to do research at the college level? I worked together with a college librarian on this presentation.
Citation preview
“Research is meant to probe questions which interest us, to carefully study the ideas and record from those who have written before us, and add to the world’s knowledge pool. Think of it as detective work, work which draws definite conclusions about a question based on already existing evidence.”
~ Humanities Professor"Project Information Literacy." : A Large-Scale Study About Early Adults and Their Research Habits. University of Washington, 1 Apr 2011. Web. 23 Feb. 2012. <http://projectinfolit.org/>.
“The only way to get students over the fear of research is to demystify it by integrating research at all levels of teaching.”
~ University Professor

For over three fourths (84%) of the students surveyed, the most difficult step of the course-related research process was getting started.

Students Report: Starting Research is the Hardest Part
“The longest part of research is getting to the question to ask.”
~ College Sophomore
“I never know what to look for. I start sifting through websites and databases until I find an article that might fit.” ~ College Freshman

“The hardest thing for me is getting 1-million results in Google and then deciding which ones to use. I guess I just use the ones on the first or second page. I rarely go beyond that.”
~College Freshman"Project Information Literacy." : A Large-Scale Study About Early Adults and Their Research Habits. University of Washington, 1 Apr 2011. Web. 23 Feb. 2012. <http://projectinfolit.org/>.
“When evaluating a source I always choose the most recent one in the results list. Currency is always important.”~ College Student
“Typing something into Google and finding the same information from different sites verifies information for me.”~ College Student

“The design of a site does a lot for me, if the color is bright pink, or lots of ads, or looks like it was made by a 15-year-old, then it isn’t worth my time.”~College Student
“When I’m searching for information, I like to use a site like Wikipedia because I’m familiar with it.”~ College Student
