Formulate questions (exploring)
-Ask about topic, something interesting
-relate to anthro., psych, or socio.
What is step 2 of the Research and Inquiry process?
What you already know (focus)
What is step 3 of the Research and Inquiry process?
formulate a hypothesis
- It can be right or wrong
What is step 4 of the Research and Inquiry process?
Collecting data
- get relevant information
- ask questions and observe
What is step 5 of the Research and Inquiry process?
Assemble and analyze data
- graph/chart
What is step 6 of the Research and Inquiry process?
Stop + check
- confirm or refute hypothesis
-have enough evidence to do so
What is step 7 of the Research and Inquiry process?
Present your results
- Choose a format to present findings effectivly
What is step 8 of the Research and Inquiry process?
reflect
- evaluate results and reflect
What is the first step of the Research and Inquiry talking about?
- Open/closed questions
- Which questions to ask that is relevant to the topic
- A good example of an open question starter is “to what extent…”
- Closed questions can be useful, since they are a fact which can help to prove something
Who made the study of “The Biology of Learning/Learning Super Protocol”? What is it about?
- Andrew Huberman
- How to study effectively
What is the step 1 of “The Biology of Learning”?
Get Alert
- It can be in the morning
- Caffeine can negatively impact you if you’re depending on it and drinking it in the first hour of waking up
- Get sunlight
- Watch your diet
- Sleep effectively
What is the step 2 of “The Biology of Learning”?
Get focused
- White noise can alert the brain
- Stare at a target for 60 seconds and then study
What is the step 3 of “The Biology of Learning”?
Generate repetitions
- repeat things portion of the time
- It’s not a good habit to repeat things for the whole studying time
What is the step 4 of “The Biology of Learning”?
Expect and embrace errors
- recognize what you struggle with
- helps with T/F and M/C questions
What is the step 5 of “The Biology of Learning”?
Randomly insert micro-rest intervals
- 10-30 sec rest
- stops repetitions
What is the step 6 of “The Biology of Learning”?
Use random intermittent rewards
- can be simple but has to be unexpected
What is the step 7 of “The Biology of Learning”?
Limit your studying time to 90 mins or less
- study when you are alert
- your brain can’t handle more than that
What is the step 8 of “The Biology of Learning”?
Incorporate 10-30 min non-sleep deep rest (NSDR)
- prayer, small nap, meditation
- Be aware of the time
- After you study

Relevant
Time frame
How to properly gather info?
- observation - watch and record
- Participant - participation for observing
- personal interview (structured)
- Phenomenology - listen to someone describing a unique experience
- survey - asking a group of people the same questions
- Historical research
- official statistics - government records
- review of literature - same info, different authors
Pros and cons of qualitative and quantitative data
qualitative - not with numbers
- offers in-depth description
- can cause bias
Quantitative - numbers, measure
- hard to convince someone
- can prove occureance
What is the CRAP test? what is its significance?
Current: how recent is the information?
Reliable: Opinion? balanced? references?
Authority: credentials, authors past
Purpose: Bias? fact? opinion?
The test is to assess where the information is coming from and how reliable it can be. This is to prevent false information and bias
Which element is not part of the exploring step in the research and inquiry process in the social sciences?
locating and selecting information relevant to chosen topics
What is the third step of the Research and Inquiry talking about?
Processing information
- recording and organizing information
(consider what’s best to record and organize, notes, graphic organizers, summarize, audio/digital/video recording
Analyze
- Examine things in detail, break down info.
Synthesis
- bringing things together (combining different ideas, combining divine concepts, combining parts or elements)
Assess
- making a judgement on the value of the sources, look at quality and factors of the source.
What is the fourth step of the Research and Inquiry talking about?
How to present your findings clearly and effectively
Language:
- define your terms, organize everything
- Don’t say “many people”
- Be specific
- say things in less words, make it very readable
APA:
- typed
- double-spaced on 8”5x11”
- Must include title page, abstract, main body, and reference page
Plagiarism (cite everything)
Writing workshop
- The psychology of writing
- humans aren’t designed to write
- Avoid generalization “throughout”, “as humans”
- Avoid filler words like very and excellent
- Avoid pronouns
- Avoid using passive voice (acted upon)
