What will I learn from this research guide?
This digital research guide is designed to support your research pertaining to Part 3: Analysing the issue (i.e. the ethical issues and implications) of your chosen bioethical research question.
Your learning intentions throughout our sessions together will be:
- L1: I am learning to expand my scientific inquiry skills to critically assess the ethical issues and implications within my chosen topic.
- L2: I am learning to locate information sources using a range of tools and techniques to improve your searches including boolean search operators and filters.
- L3: I am learning to use SCRAPit or SIFT to evaluate the quality, relevance and authority of an information source.
- L4: I am learning to reference other peoples ideas and works using APA 7 Referencing style.
The Research Process
Research is an iterative process. It flows back and forth as we process, engage and reflect on the information we gather and explore (NSW Education Department, 2015). It can be organised into 6 key stages. Each page of this digital research guide will mirror these states so you can easily navigate this process.
