It is rather hard to form an argument for some. Personally, I am one of these people.
As you can tell from reading a vast majority of my other blogs, I am amidst a research project. I truly feel like I have grown tremendously throughout the process, but I am no where near done.
From the beginning, I was focused on finding out more information about my school, Santa Clara University, because I knew absolutely nothing about what happened in the past. Then, to make sure I wasn’t the only one here that was absolutely blinding by the great historical significance our campus holds, I decided to survey those around me. I found that some knew basic information, and others knew nothing.
When asked the question, What can you tell my out SCU in the past, I was given a variety of answers. My favorite response from a per was “nothing because I don’t care,” it was awesome!
(seriously though)
Seriously, it was! It might not seem like it is, but this was the exact type of answer I was looking for because of how honest and #real this student was because I get it. Trust me, I really do. I get bored as heck too.
Moving on to the core of my project, I researched educators learning approaches and thoughts on students researching. I found that a majority of educators argue that students don’t know how to research and need to be guided. And from a surface level perspective, so did I.
Then I really began to think about al the information I gathered to try to form my argument… and it was HARD. I had nothing to really say to argue the topic. However, then I realized something so small, yet extremely important that had not been discussed in these authors conversations.
They forgot to mention those who are more than capable… which lead me to an easy fight against the educators who underestimate the competent students.
