When we have conversations, we must adhere to established protocols, even when only having discussions with friends. During daily conversations with others, in the classroom, and through academic research, there are protocols that we must follow in order to be successful.
However, in each situation, there are some basics:
- One must have some knowledge of the topic.
- You should acknowledge your sources.
- You need to understand that the conversation has a past and will have a future.
This week, we are going to take a closer look at teaching research as an ongoing conversation. I also share a simple exercise showing the conversation through journal articles as well as provide tips for helping students see their part in the conversation.
