Standard 6: Research

Students will engage in inquiry to acquire, refine, and share knowledge.

 

READING: Students will comprehend, evaluate, and synthesize resources to acquire and refine knowledge.

6.6.R.1 Students will use their own viable research questions to find information about a specific topic.

Student Actions 

Teacher Actions 

  • Students will formulate a research question based on a specific topic.
  • Students will research the topic using different types of resources. 

 

  • Teachers explain that viable research questions should be areas of interest for the writer and not too broad or too narrow to research.
  • Teachers model how to formulate a viable research question (e.g. The question that best explains the point of their subject and will guide their research).
  • Teachers provide opportunities for students to formulate research questions. 
  • Teachers monitor students’ understanding of how to formulate a viable research question, and provide opportunities for students to receive feedback.
  • Teachers model how to use different types of resources to find information on one topic. 
  • Teachers provide opportunities for students to use different types of resources to find information.
  • Teachers monitor students’ understanding of how to use different resources to find information.
  • Teachers provide feedback about information gathered.
  • Teachers will clarify how to use search engines to find resources rather than using them as an actual resource. For example, students should never cite Google as a source; rather, they should use Google effectively to find articles, journals, newspapers, etc.

How to Write Research Questions (Website)

OSSBA Oklahoma Library of Digital Resources Grade 6 (iCloud) 

  • The intention of this standard is for students to acknowledge connections between topics and sources. At this level, students determine what sources provide relevant, targeted information for specific questions.
  • Viable research questions will include words like how and/or why.
    • To be viable, the question needs to be not so broad that it can be easily answered or that has too much information to explore.
    • The question should also be not so narrow that there are too few resources to choose from and not enough information to prove credibility. 

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
