please make feedback/comment or response to this post "Being information literate makes academic studies easier by enabling students to effectively and efficiently search, evaluate, and use information. Information literacy skills allow students to identify relevant sources, critically evaluate the credibility and reliability of those sources, and effectively use that information to support their academic work. When writing a research paper, peer reviewed and credible references are those that have been evaluated by experts in the relevant field or subject area. These references are typically found in academic journals or other scholarly publications. Peer-reviewed references undergo a rigorous review process by other scholars in the same field, ensuring that the information presented is accurate, reliable, and unbiased. In contrast, referrals that lack credibility. Including those without supporting data or those founded on irrational notions. These references are not regarded as reputable since they frequently contain prejudice or inaccuracies and are not based on trustworthy, verifiable sources. Blogs, social media posts, and personal webpages with questionable sources or that are predicated on the author's personal beliefs or opinions are examples of unreliable references. Those who possess information literacy abilities can benefit from these talents in many areas of their daily lives, including managing personal finances, choosing products or services with knowledge and assessing the truth, and bias of news sources. Information literacy abilities. For instance, can assist people in determining the validity and dependability of sources of health information, enabling them to make wise decisions regarding their health and wellbeing. Similar to this, information literacy abilities can assist people in assessing the reliability of financial advice and investment opportunities, empowering them to make wise financial decisions. Information literacy skills are not only important for academic success but also for life long learning and critical thinking. Meanwhile skills like these enable individuals to effectively navigate and analyze the vast amounts of information available in today's world, empowering them to make informed decisions in various areas of their personal and professional lives.".

The answers you get depend on the questions you ask. —Thomas Kuhn Learning Objectives After reading this chapter, you should be able to: 1. Distinguish between scholarly and popular sources and decide when and how to use each type. 2. Analyze your research needs using a simple mnemonic: BEAM. 3. Write and analyze a research question that will make it much easier for you to formulate search terms and find the best sources for your project. 4. Find, locate, and choose the right research databases to help you answer your research questions. 5. Search databases efficiently to pro- duce useful results. 3Finding Good Sources Jupiterimages/BananaStock/Thinkstock dro85866_03_c03.indd 35 10/2/13 2:31 PM CHAPTER 3Section 3.1 Distinguishing Between Scholarly, News, Trade, and Popular Sources During the second phase of your research, you will locate researchers working on the essential and supporting research questions you wrote in Phase I so that you can use their findings and ideas as evidence in an argument, as well as contribute to the conversation they are having. If you have been working on Phase I, you already have some of the skills necessary to locate research conversations using Google Scholar and its “Cited by” and “Related articles” links. In Phase II, you will continue working with Google Scholar and also with more subject-specific databases available to you through your university or community library. We will work on database selection, search strategies, and search results analysis early in this chapter. Later in the chapter, we will discuss evaluating and working with the sources you find. With a well-designed research project in hand, it is time to get down to the nuts and bolts of one of the most important elements of the research process: finding useful sources and working to understand them—and what you can do with them—once you have them. In this chapter, you will learn everything you need to know about library databases and search construction in order to find, understand, analyze, and use a coherent set of credible, relevant, reliable sources with which to work. 3.1 Distinguishing Between Scholarly, News, Trade, and Popular Sources As you start the work of the second phase of your research, it is important to under-stand the difference between two major types of sources: scholarly sources and news, trade, and popular sources. While each kind of source can contain useful information and interesting perspectives, they have different kinds of authority, which determine how you can use them in academic research. Scholarly Sources Scholarly sources are produced by professional researchers seeking to advance or evaluate knowledge, who submit their work for peer review. As you learned in Chapter 1, peer review certifies the rigor of the research process and the reasonableness of the researcher’s argument and interpretations. In order to be scholarly, both journal articles and ...

information accuracy.pptx

LezzieAnnRamos1

Accurate information is essential for valid reasoning and determining truth. Accuracy depends on how data is collected and is judged by comparing multiple sources. It relates to the correctness of output information. Primary sources are original materials from the relevant time period, while secondary sources are interpretations and evaluations of primary sources written later. Plagiarism involves presenting another's work as one's own without credit.

Review the Topic 3 Lecture for a description of what is considered a scholarly article. In a 750-1,000-word essay, compare and contrast the three most significant positive and negative changes in special education. Discuss the changes/reforms you think still need to be made. Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. EDU-535 Lecture 3 Learning How to Research Introduction In Topic 1, you learned about the importance of scholarship and a little about what it takes to transition from student to scholar. In this Topic, you will learn about the heart of scholarship: Research. Learning how to research is critical to your transition from student to scholar, because it is a significant component of how you master the knowledge in your field, which will in turn equip you to contribute to the improvement of practice in your field. Review the learning objectives for this Topic within the course syllabus and use the following lecture, which is about the role of research in scholarship, to accomplish them. What Do We Mean by Research? You may have used the term research in many different scenarios and settings. You may have had to research locations of companies offering a particular service you needed, or maybe you had to research different schools before deciding to enroll at GCU. The term research is often used loosely in informal settings to mean, as illustrated in the previous examples, the search for information −but what does research mean in an academic setting? What does research mean in graduate study? What does research mean to the aspiring scholar wishing to improve the field in which they work? According to The Free Dictionary , researchis defined as "scholarly or scientific investigation or inquiry." A Google search defines research as "the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions." The first definition uses the term scholarly, which, as you learned in Topic 1, refers to a "learned person" who more than likely has mastered a particular discipline. The second definition mentions "the study of materials and sources." This could include people, theories, concepts, studies, and a variety of other sources. Both definitions mention "systematic or scientific investigation," which means an orderly and logical process that is carried out in the act of research. Analyzing both definitions sho.

Audience Analysis Sections 16.1What Is a.docx

Audience Analysis Sections 16.1 What Is an Audience Analysis? & Why Conduct an Audience Analysis? Public Speaking as Shared ActivityThe interaction between speaker and audience; speakers jointly create meaning with audiences.Public speaking is an audience-centered activity in which the speaker considers the needs and interest of the audience.Audience analysis is the process of gathering information about the people in the audience so a speaker can understand their needs, values, and expectations.Find an appropriate way to acknowledge and greet your audience. Choose a Worthwhile TopicYour topic should reflect regard for the audience; audiences do not want to listen to a speech that is too simple or a topic they already know a great deal about.Many students are tempted to choose an easy topic or a topic they already know a great deal about because it decreases their own workload rather than engaging audience interest.Choose a topic that is interesting enough for you to research and your audience to listen to. Clarity is ImportantUse straightforward vocabulary and avoid convoluted sentences. The Risk of ControversyControversial topics are topics about which people disagree.Many controversial topics confront people’s fundamental and closely-held values.There are often more than two perspectives on important controversial topics.How you treat your audience is just as important as how you treat your topic. Adapting to Audience NeedsAudiences differ in their perspectives and readiness to accept new ideas.Even in a homogeneous audience, an audience composed of people who are similar to one another, different listeners will understand the same ideas in different ways.Every member of every audience has his or her own frame of reference generated by their unique life experience. Categories of Life Experiences Demographic information refers to gender, age range, marital status, race and ethnicity, all of which impact an audience’s perspectives and needs.Socioeconomic status refers to characteristics including income, wealth, level of education, and occupational prestige.Psychographic information involves the beliefs, attitudes, values, and opinions that are most often difficult to predict. Respecting your audience means that you avoid offending, excluding, or trivializing the beliefs and values they hold. DiversityRefers not only to racial and ethnic groups, but also to religion, sexual orientation, body size, and physical and mental ability. Respecting Diverse AudiencesBeing mindful of diversity means being respectful of all people and avoiding racism, ethnocentrism, stereotyping, sexism, ageism, elitism, and other assumptions.It’s easy to assume that people from a given culture are just alike, but they’re not; their social roles, life experiences, and circumstances vary.Frame of reference may be difficult to predict; for instance, we might assume that a successful businessman is primarily interested in p ...

Your responses to your classmates must be substantive. Share i.docx

bunyansaturnina

Your responses to your classmates must be substantive. Share ideas, explore differences, and think critically about your classmates’ posts. Bring in information from your textbook, classroom resources or other credible sources that you find to contribute to the discussion. You are invited to share relevant audio, video, or images in your responses. You must cite and reference any sources you use, even in your responses to your classmates. PEER RESPONSE: Before this class, I was not familiar with the term “information literacy”. I did previously take a class called “Digital Literacy” which was based on how to use digital media in order to be able to gain information and complete tasks. I look at this class as somewhat similar, but more relating to finding information that may not be digital or available online. The textbook defines digital literacy as “the ability to identify a need for information and successfully locate, evaluate, and use that information ethically and legally for a determined purpose.” (von Winckelmann, 2015, 1.1). The first module of the textbook helped me to better understand exactly what information literacy is, and how to utilize the concepts. The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), developed an information literacy framework that identifies six threshold concepts meant to guide students in the process of becoming lifelong learners through the acquisition of information literacy skills (von Winckelmann, 2015, 1.1). The ACRL’s six threshold concepts are Research as Inquiry, Scholarship as Conversation, Information Creation as a Process, Searching as Strategic Exploration, Authority is Constructed and Contextual, and Information has Value (von Winckelmann, 2015, 1.1). The concept of research as inquiry is that the research process is all about asking and answering questions. Scholarship as conversation means that “Experts within a field communicate to share information, debate their ideas, and gain understanding. They often contest each other’s ideas and seek out the opinions of other scholars within their fields to test these ideas (von Winckelmann, 2015, 1.1). Information creation as a process is the idea that research and gathering information is fluid and may change based on the needs of the writer and what questions they need to answer. Searching as strategic exploration recognizes that most research questions or topics may require information and data from several sources and that searching for accurate information can be a process. Authority is constructed and conventional reminds people that not all information and sources are created equal, and the validity of sources must be investigated. Lastly, the concept that information has value means that research findings and conclusions need to be properly represented through citations and copyrights. In addition to the 6 concepts presented in section 1.1, the textbo.
