Research Skills
In order to achieve or access what
you are looking for, you need to
improve yourself. As the old saying
goes, “Practice Makes Perfect”.
Good research is a product of
multiple and continuous searches,
here are some skills you can
improve or adapt to:
1. Critical Thinking
As you search through the web, you
must think very carefully about
the information that you have
gathered. Critical thinking involves
the ability to reflect on the
information presented to you.
2. Data Organizing
Data organization is the
process of sorting raw data
into several categories and
then arranging them.
3. Research Presenting
Part of your research is the
actual writing, be creative and
reflective in writing your
search, explain every detail
and step into achieving your
objective.
3. Research Presenting
Exampleis to learn about climate
If your objective
change, you don’t just write:
“I found climate change is bad.”
Instead, you write:
“First, I searched ‘effects of climate change’ in
Google. I chose a reliable site (.gov). It
explained that rising temperatures cause ice to
melt and sea levels to rise. This made me think
about how it could affect my own city. I realized
we might have more floods in the future. That’s
Satirical
Remember that not all searches
are good ones, some are
considered as satirical or
untrue.
Here are some tips in
identifying good searches
from satirical searches.
Tip 1
If the contents of the
source are too
impossible to happen,
or too good to be true,
then there must be
something wrong.
Tip 1
“Click here to get $1,000,000
for free, no work needed!”
Too good to be true! This is
likely a scam or fake
information.
Tip 2
If a website began by
posting fake stories
about famous people like
TV stars or politicians, and
then later added other
stories from different
places, it is still
considered a satirical
Tip 3
If the site is
unfamiliar and
continuously
popping ads, then
it is satirical.
Examples of Satirical News:
a. The 2 years in K-12 Curriculum for Senior
High School has been removed.
b. President Duterte resigned as the leader of
the Philippine nation.
c. You can win 1 million pesos just by
answering a given survey form.
d. A certain actress/actor is alleged as
pregnant being in another country for a
long time.
