Introduction: What question did the researcher seek to answer?
Method: Who participated in the study? What did the researchers ask the participants to do?
Results: What were the findings?
Application: So What?
How can you use this information as a student? What should we do with this information?

Howard (2000)Research Question:
Does taking a student success course help students
• Feel more prepared for college• Be more confident• Know about campus resources
and study skills• Have a stronger commitment to
a college major?

Christine Harrington, Middlesex County College, [email protected]
The Results!
Students reported high levels of preparation, confidence, and knowledge of resources and study skills
No difference in commitment to career was found
Regardless of high school performance, all students scored higher at the end of the course (though students with lower GPA learned more about study skills)
37
![Page 38: Dr. Christine Harrington Middlesex County College charrington@middlesexcc](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070421/5681617c550346895dd10d65/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Christine Harrington, Middlesex County College, [email protected]
The So What Factor!
• Student success courses are valuable
• All students (even high achieving ones) benefitted from the course
• Career decision often leads to exploration first and commitment later

Here’s the Plan:
Teach the “elements” of research studies
No Stakes- Read with Modeling
Low to Moderate Stakes- Individual or Group Assignments
In Class Peer Review and Support

Reading, Critical Thinking and Information Literacy
Reading• What do you do when
you don’t know a word?
• Taking notes while reading
• Extracting key ideas and points

Reading, Critical Thinking and Information Literacy
Critical Thinking• Can the results of the
study apply to you?• How do you know the
findings are accurate?• Look for additional
evidence!• What else should the
researchers investigate?

Reading, Critical Thinking and Information Literacy
Information Literacy• How do you access
information?• What type of information is
available?• How do you evaluate
whether the information is credible?
• Where do you find scholarly sources like journal articles?
