It's a Matter of Fact : Teaching Students Research Skills in Today's Information-packed World

Description

In this new book from Routledge and MiddleWeb, author Angie Miller shows how you can turn your students into informed citizens by teaching them how to research effectively. In today’s information-saturated world research skills have moved beyond fact-finding, into fact-sifting, fact-sorting, and fact-assessing. Miller shows you how to help students check sources, take good notes, make use of information, and synthesize and present information across the subject areas. She also shows how to make research a daily practice, not a one-time essay or project. With examples and online handouts you can use immediately, this practical book is a valuable resource for educators seeking to engage students in their work and encourage them toward higher level thinking.Number of Pages: 132 p. ;Genre: Education, Study GuidesSub-Genre: Study & Test-Taking Skills, Student Life & Student Affairs, Teacher & Student MentoringFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Taylor & FrancisAuthor: Angie MillerLanguage: EnglishStreet Date: March 5, 2018TCIN: 53392042UPC: 9781138302785Item Number (DPCI): 248-65-2697If the item details above aren’t accurate or complete, we want to know about it.
