How I started
I started on the first topic which was critical thinking, since in previous study skills presentation critical thinking had been used and explained in my blog, I used this in my presentation. I also re-read some references I used last time.
Topics I had to look at
- Critical thinking
- research
- Group work
- Presentation styles.
Research
Investigation
into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts
Multimedia:
—It
can help solve existing problems, as the research gathered can impact decision
making.
—It
ensures valid information and an in-depth analysis of the subject we study.
—It
helps improve and increase knowledge and skills/expertise in a particular
subject
—Time
and money are saved by the research help make vital decisions faster and
statistics help come up with a target audience.
I then thought of advantages and disadvantages of using research.
Advantages of primary research
•Greater Control of the information you collect
•Time Efficiency, sometimes when collecting secondary research parts may lead you the wrong direction with primary research it is less likely to do this.
•UNIQUE the information collected from primary research is your own and not shared with others.
Disadvantages
- Cost - It could be expensive when preparing and carrying out the research.
- Time consuming - It takes up a lot of your time because you have to plan everything you do and even plan how to collect data.
Advantages of secondary research
- Ease of Access because of the internet there is now a lot more wider pieces of information.
- Low Cost, information cost less because you don't have to pay for resources to collect the information yourself.
disadvantages to secondary research
- Quality of Research - you don't have control of the information collected
- Incomplete Information - You may find the data collected from secondary research maybe outdated and incorrect, this may lead you to problems
