Many parents think that research is as easy as conducting a Google search or skimming through a Wikipedia page. However, when it comes to education, not all sources are equal and credible. It is vital to learn the research skills that will save you time.
Some of the best resources you can use to research are the scholarly articles such as publications from a professional organization and articles published in academic databases. Check about the author whom has written the article, if that person is fair and unbiased, and if the writer is qualified to write on a certain topic.
Be cautious of everything you find on the Internet. Certain sites are more reliable than others. Well-known institutions are more likely to be credible than organizations that you’ve never heard of.
You can take online courses or read authentic books or blogs on how to do conduct proper research for students. By strengthening your research skills, you will be able to find correct and factual information for your kids.
