3 ways to help students do efficient online research
Teaching students how to be critical evaluators of information they encounter during online research is an essential life skill.
Today’s students
don’t know the world without the internet. They spend days and nights on
YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, or Snapchat but hardly know how to translate all
this information into learning. Gen Z doesn’t necessarily think critically
about what they find online.
As educators, we
can teach the academic side of the internet to them.
Why is it so
critical?
• Online research skills and critical writing are among must-haves for students’ progress through college life and future career.
• Studies show that young people don’t focus on the credibility of sources they
use; they can’t explain why they choose certain websites, authors, and
publications.
• Surveys demonstrate that many students
don’t understand how to use online sources to support their arguments.
Educators can
help students evaluate online information efficiently. Its volume keeps
growing, and it’s significant for young people to know how to separate the gems
from the garbage and become critical writers and consumers, not just viewers.
