Abstract

Author(s): Shook, Beth | Abstract: One of the key challenges for undergraduate students is learning to read, understand, and synthesize academic literature. To help students develop these skills, a research grid assignment using Microsoft Excel was developed. This assignment breaks down the key steps to data synthesis, including identifying and summarizing key parts of academic literature and comparing these parts across academic articles. The ability to sort and highlight data in Excel allows students to easily identify patterns in the literature related to their specific research topics. Student feedback following two semesters of use in a core physical anthropology course suggests that the process of creating and using the research grid improved student satisfaction with the research process.
帮助学生综合学术文献:Excel研究网格的开发
摘要:学习阅读、理解和综合学术文献是大学生面临的主要挑战之一。为了帮助学生发展这些技能,我们开发了一个使用Microsoft Excel的研究网格作业。这项作业分解了数据合成的关键步骤,包括识别和总结学术文献的关键部分,并在学术文章中比较这些部分。在Excel中排序和突出显示数据的能力使学生能够轻松识别与他们特定研究主题相关的文献中的模式。在体质人类学核心课程中使用了两个学期后,学生的反馈表明,创建和使用研究网格的过程提高了学生对研究过程的满意度。
