LA3: Know About Research Techniques

What techniques can be used to conduct research?

Some techniques of conducting research would be to visit a library, this would be beneficial as everything in the books you are looking for is true material that you can rely on. You can also use the internet as a source of information, however you must always double check to see if the information you have found is true and reliable. Using a questionnaire is also another great way of gathering information that you need as you can find out exactly what people say. There is plenty other ways to conduct a research task which can benefit differently depending on what you are trying to find out.

Ways you can keep and information trail is by writing a list of where you have looked and found your information, such as if you found something from a book you should reference where you found it from e.g. "page 225, book name, book author" this is beneficial so you don't use the same information over and over again. You can do the same thing by adding this to a graph so it looks cleaner however if you will be getting information from many sources to the point where you would struggle to pinpoint it on a graph/list you could make a spreadsheet so you can easily find the information by typing a letter/keyword.

Some ways you can store your research is by using a database. This would be good for the people who are more advanced so they can do it faster. however a graph backed up yo google drive would still do the same thing as you can always check back at it. Storing your research is beneficial because if you ever need to go back and add anything to it you can do this with ease.
