Key skills you will be developing as you complete this research guide:
Critical and Creative Thinking: Working through this research guide will engage you in the process of digesting new information, putting it into your own words, and developing your own opinions about it. You will be able to respond critically and creatively to the range of material in the guide.
Using technology ethically: As you complete this research guide, you will be required to think carefully about how you effectively recognise the work of others and how you have applied it in your own work. As well as being expected to reference all sources, you will also be guided in how to protect your own data and use safe searching techniques.
Investigating with technology: You will be using technology to find quality information sources and analyse them both independently and in collaboration with others.
Social Awareness: You will further develop your skills in developing an understanding of others’ perspectives and how to engage with them respectfully. You will also explore ways in which you can think about the ideas that shape our world.
Empathising with others: You will also explore different cultural perspectives and learn about experiences by ‘walking in another’s shoes’. In particular, you will reflect on the emotions and experiences that other people may have and how these may affect and even change your own views and opinions.
