A.2.3.5: Inquiry and Literacy

Why is it important for the three R's of inquiry to be taught in
schools system?

When I first came to college and we were in our English class we were told that we had to do a research paper. Many people complained saying that they never had to do a research paper before and they did not no how to do one. I thought they were kidding. I was really shocked to learn that many people did not know how to do a research
paper. Now I realize why many people have problems with research papers, which is because they were not taught how to do one. I think that it is important that the reading, writing, and research inquiry should be taught to students in the school system. This way students can be prepared for finding what information is useful to the topic
and how to convey this information into meaning.
I think that it is very important that teachers take time to teach students how to properly research for a topic that they want to answer. In order for students to be able to write a research paper
they need to know how to read, write, and research. Once they have these skills then they will succefully be able to put together their
paper. I agree with the article when it says that not understanding vocabulary in an article can make it harder to understand. Also, causing you to be frustrated and not want to read the article. I
think that when researching an article it is important to be able to understand what you read. I think that teachers can help the students develop certain strategies when reading articles for research to
understand the article, taking notes, highlighting, etc. I think it is also good for vocab to be taught. I just recently got done taking a vocab class here at Marshall and it has really helped me (hopefully for the GRE). If students cannot understand what they are reading, then they are not going to be able to write about what they learned. If in fact they do have a good understanding of the articles, it will be easier for them to write about that topic. I agree with the article when it says that one of the hardest
parts of researching is finding the information for the topic. For the research topic I am doing, you cannot just find everything you need under communication disorders you have read many articles and
get information from other ways of researching. The hardest part of doing a paper comes from research. Often, many people do not know how
to research for the information they are need. I have found this class to be really helpful on how to research information on our topics. I have read many articles on how to search for answers to my
foundation and essential questions. I think having information on how to properly research, like this, available will help students' research. In high school, we would take time to research our topic
but we were never given tips on how to research our topic. Students need to know that they may have to try various searching techniques,
strategies, etc. to get the information they are looking for. The text gave a really good way on how to develop research by taking an
op-ed paper and looking at the audience, the organization of the paragraph, introduction, and conclusion and then turning this information into a more scholarly paper. This is a great example of
how reading, writing, and research can be conducted in order for a paper to be successful.
I think having teachers teach students about reading, writing, and research will help them be able to develop a great research paper. I think that starting in high school will help them for when it comes time to do research in college and in future. I know that many struggle with research papers and if they have good background skills, then it will be easier for students to do.
