Research is…?

What does research look like in your discipline? Whether you are studying history, physics, biology or fine arts, each discipline has a different view and process for research. View the following videos that highlight what research looks like. [insert variety of videos including students/faculty]

Activity: Mapping your research journey
1. View at least 3 or 4 videos that include a few different disciplines. 2. Visit the “writing in the disciplines” page, and read more about what research looks like in your current area of study. 3. [Now do something] – Questions: What kind of artefacts do we want students to create? Where should we collect them (or do we need to?). Is this a journal, portfolio? Does the research office need students to submit anything (ie a separate Moodle shell where students add in links to their posts/maps/etc.).

What do I know about Research? 

Overview

Research can be intimidating, but you likely know more than you realize about being a researcher. 

Activity 1: 

Take a few moments to reflect on your current perceptions of research. What is research? Who performs research? How are you involved and how can you be involved? 

No matter how you currently feel about your research knowledge the information within this website should help to guide you in any direction. 

Activity 2 

Review five of the student’s research maps (Link) and consider ways you may be able to start your own research map.

There are many different ways research can be conducted, and it can be further explored in the writing in the disciplines section and the steps for conducting your own research projects are within the Engage section. 

Activity 3

Using the ideas from the research maps you reviewed create your own map that showcases your research journey up to now and a potential route you could take to further research involvement.
