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.3  Students will determine the relevance, reliability, and validity of the information gathered.

Student Actions 

Teacher Actions 

  • Students will determine that  the information applies to a topic. 

  • Students will decide if the sources used are trustworthy and credible.  

 

  • Teachers model how to determine if information is relevant to a topic (e.g. Look at the table of contents, related words, is the author an expert on the topic, etc.)
  • Teachers provide students with opportunities to find relevant information. 
  • Teachers monitor students’ ability to determine whether or not information is relevant and provide opportunities for students to receive feedback.
  • Teachers model how to determine if information is credible.
  • Teachers provide students with opportunities to determine the credibility of information. 
  • Teachers monitor students’ ability to determine whether or not information is credible and provide opportunities for students to receive feedback.
  • Teachers will explain to students that using several types of sources will make their information more reliable and their research more credible. 

Supporting Resources 

Teacher Insights 

  • Relevance refers to the source being appropriate to the student’s topic.
    • For example, a fact that 75% of students own a cell phone doesn't directly support the statement that cell phones can be used as educational tools, but it does relate to the general topic of cell phones.
  • Reliability: A website or text should be produced by a trustworthy source; it refers to the credibility of the source.
    • A source containing bias would be unreliable.
    • Bias may include: corporate ownership, confirmation bias, sociocultural bias, etc.
  • Validity refers to the information’s accuracy and/or the source’s logical conclusions.
    • A source that is not valid will contain misinformation. 
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.
