LA3: KNOW ABOUT RESEARCH TECHNIQUES

WHAT TECHNIQUES CAN BE USED TO CONDUCT RESEARCH?

Some ways to conduct research can be going to libraries and gathering books which would be beneficial as books have lots of valuable information in. Using the internet is another method but may not be as beneficial because not everything is true on the internet so it might not be as reliable as books which have solid fats in them. Using a questionnaire is also a valuable source of information because it gets exactly what people have said. There are other ways to conduct research such as interviews and surveys which can be beneficial depending on what information you're trying to collect. If you gather primary research it will be better than secondary because secondary may be outdated.

You can gather an information trail by making note of of what you have gathered so you remember and can use as evidence for example you can write down the page number you found a key bit of information. This is important because it can prevent you from collecting the same research over and over again. You could also make a document where if you type a key word, research you've gathered to do with that key word can pop up so it's a lot easier to find things and it will stop your research getting clogged.

Ways you can store research is using something like dropbox or google drive, these are two good softwares that you can store files and keep written documents. This can be useful because you can retrieve the data from anywhere. This can also assure you know what you've gathered.
