Creating Research Questions (Website)
|
- The intention of this standard is for students to acknowledge connections between topics and sources. At this level, students are articulating viable research questions and topics based on initial research.
- Oftentimes, gathering information will lead to new information or different information that necessitates changes to the original research question. Students adjust their research question within the same topic as needed while gathering and analyzing information.
- 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.
