Annotations:

“As the ACRL’s framework also emphasizes, when research- ers review published source material around their topic, points of disagreement will be discovered; these points are expected as schol- ars propose ideas to address complicated issues”. Published source materials makes researchers take all sides and to be open minded to take into consideration their informed decision about a topic.

 

“Truthfully, research rarely progresses on an uncluttered path toward a clear solution. Instead, research is a recursive process that involves many diversions, bumps, and missteps”. Research is not easy and it has many steps to it that may make you question everything. When going into research you have to be aware that you might need to go back to modify.

 

The seventh paragraph basically says that when a researcher starts with a question they are most likely to learn more different ideas than the researcher who is just trying to prove they’re right.

 

“Parents also need to learn to be comfort- able with saying “I don’t know” in response, rather than search- ing for a simple answer. Berger also recommends that as children go through school, parents and educators can work together to support children’s questioning nature, rather than always privileg- ing definite answers”. Kids shouldn’t always get the answers to their questions right away but rather they should find it themselves with research and by exploring.
