Research is |
Research is NOT |
|
Research helps us understand how things work and why things are the way they are
|
Research does not involve creating something totally new without looking at what's been done before |
|
Research requires a balance between your own thinking and what you discover from the evidence |
Research is not just gathering a bunch of facts and reporting on what you've found |
|
Research involves answering a question with evidence as well as your own conclusions based on that evidence |
Research does not involve finding only evidence that supports your side of the argument |
|
Research requires answering questions |
Research is not a summary of what you've found |
|
Research is a conversation between you and the authors who have researched your topic before |
