Teaching Research Processes: The Faculty Role in the Development of Skilled Student Researchers

Today’s students struggle with the research processes required to problem-solve and enlist their findings into cogent academic writing. They lack skill in formulating problem statements, identifying the most relevant databases, using those databases effectively, and evaluating found information. More profoundly, they do not understand the confusing information landscape in which they are working.Teaching Research Processes aims to help faculty members overcome these deficits and develop strong research abilities in their students.
