some discoveries I have made while researching is to make sure I do research on authors. My hypothesis remained the same all throughout my research but I came across articles that disagreed with the idea that standardize testing isn’t benefiting students. They believed that the tests were meant to benefit students and provide opportunity. So far I am in the middle, sometimes I find myself disagreeing but then I understand where the author is coming from and what they are trying get at.
Some discoveries that I have made so far is that many students dropouts are because of financial pressure, students with debt can have problems to find jobs. My hypothesis still remains the same but I need to do more research so it might change. I find myself disagreeing with a source because they advertise students loans
Discoveries that I have made while researching is that 1 in 5 Americans have student loan debt.
Student loan debt can grow so much more than you expected over time due to interest even with payments being secured.
A student loan can affect your future credit and restrict you from purchasing things like a house
Student loans don’t always negatively affect a person
During my research, I did see multiple ways how student loans have helped students on the road to success, and how it is a risk that people should take. Although, my hypothesis stayed the same, for the most I stuck to what I initially believed student loans would do to someone. I did find myself disagreeing with some sources made by people and their own personal experience.
While doing my research I recognized how many studies have occurred on my topic. Generally, my findings were based on all factual data and the data aligns with my views. In all of my final sources, there isn’t any opposition but in others, I found there were more irrelevant points or correlations being made compared to my point rather than opposition.
Not everything is focused on one specific point. The author provides a wide range of information that includes social experiments , to information happening in the world. The experiments are interesting since they focus more on the mental and emotions of a wide range of people. My hypothesis has remained the same and the research that was done introduces the other side of the argument in a way to solve the situation. I have not yet found myself disagreeing with a source, but I did find myself not liking how an author stated something the way he did. I ended up thinking of a way to implement it with my own thought.
some discoveries I have made While doing the research is that everyone have different point view about education, and some of their idea kind changed my hypothesis. But i will stick with my idea for now and keep search for the suppoting resoure
A discovery that I made was that there is a lot of articles about the topic, so I would need to find reliable sources. To do that I need to research on authors while checking the time it was published. My hypothesis changed a bit because I do want to write more about stress of the students rather than motivation although I would need more time to research about stress.
Some discoveries that I learned during my research are that there is a 50% percent rise in student mental health referrals on a global scale and the number is steadily climbing. my hypothesis did remain the same whoever I’m still looking for a source that can oppose it because I want to see things from a different perspective.
Some discoveries that I made while I was doing my research is the author gives an extended variety of information on different types of topics. my hypothesis stayed the same although it lacks information so I may change it.
