What is research?

In short research is an investigation into study of materials, and sources to establish new facts and conclusions.

How do you research?

Before you start researching you need to define what the problem is, why do you need this information?

Whilst researching you need to think, how much time do I have to do this?

You should then pick a topic, you should aim end up with a topic that isn't to hard to be sure that there is enough information on it.

Think to yourself what do you already know about the topic. If anything that might help you define the main ideas and key words that will help?

You then need to find out what else you need to find out? Preferably you need to find out as much as possible from reliable sources.

The next stage is to locate the information? Where are you going to get it from think about all the sources out there such as

Books
Internet
Encyclopedias
Videos
Magazines
Other people or organizations

The next stage is to decide which resource will be best for you, however there is nothing saying you can't mix  it up.

Be sure to check that the material is relevant, and who has written it, what audience is it aimed at?

You MUST note down whatever you copy, this is important for your bibliography.

You then need to organize all of you information and see if you have enough to complete the task in hand.

When presenting the information  what is the most logical and organised way, have you met all the tasks needs? Have you used your opinions and acknowledged ideas from others?

Once you have finished the task, think about what you have learnt, what would you improve next time.
