Social Science for Teachers

Starting Your Social Science for Teachers Research

Use the resources referenced in these pages to help you start and develop your Social Science for Teachers research. An initial thought to keep in mind is that research done properly takes more time than you probably expect or for which you have planned. Start the research process as early as you can so that you will have enough time to develop your ideas, respond to setbacks, and find enough sources for a strong result. The day you receive (and hopefully read!) your syllabus is a good time to start.

Reference

Conducting introductory and general investigations should always be one of your first steps when starting a research project. It's not a good approach to formulate specific, detailed, and rigid ideas early in the process. Reference works provide introductions to topics, so that you can start building a foundation of information and knowledge.

If you don't know where to begin, go to the Reference page to access introductory materials in Social Science for Teachers. Even if you are already familiar with the subject, accessing reference sources such as Credo Academic Core, encyclopedias, and other subject specific works can provide insights and starting points of which you may be unaware.
