Blog 11 - Research Introduction

Research Project Introduction



            There are many studying techniques implemented into the school settings. The main obstacles that students continually face are preparation for exams, essays, and research papers. Students always encounter major exams to advance to the next level. Some examples include the GEPA to advance to high school, the PSAT, the SAT or the ACT for college, The GRE to get into Graduate School. Advancing to the next level of education requires exams and even essays. Even to get into your profession such as becoming a teacher or school psychologist requires you to take the Praxis exam. Since people have different strategies to prepare for exams and essays, my objective is to find out what people do to prepare. Some questions asked would be: How would people prepare for an upcoming test? What techniques do they use for writing essays and research papers? How often do they study? Those are the many questions that will be asked. I plan on using surveys, brief interviews, and online sources. The article “To Really Learn, Quit Studying and Take a Test” by Pam Belluck consists of a few studies to back up my research. Other online sources will add more data due to being more broad. Lastly I would seek opinions and advice from other students that may help benefit other struggling students.
