研究项目

Seeking Truth Through Research

On the Hill, we make research "easy."
When a school prioritizes inquiry-based learning in all fields, students develop tools for questioning, 仔细观察, 接受, and rejecting information of all kinds. 有能力通过研究和检验证据来寻求真理的学生会成为更深层次的思考者和对社会更有贡献的人. 

弗林特里奇圣心学院提供为期四年的研究课程，培养学生完成大学水平和学术研究所需的显性和隐性技能，并激发他们终身追求真理.

  • Q: What are some of the challenges students face during the 研究项目?

    A: It’s hard for the students, particularly after selecting a general topic, to n箭头 it down to a workable, debatable thesis after a long period of research. It’s a little uncomfortable for them as we’re flipping the process a little bit. We require that they wait a long time before claiming a thesis. 他们想要在一开始就这样做，这样他们就可以找到与他们的论文陈述相匹配的资源. 十大网投平台信誉排行榜要求他们花8-10周的时间对研究材料进行更深入的阅读，并根据他们发现的内容撰写论文.

    Our students are also in need of permission to take intellectual risks. It’s very scary for them to do that. They really want you to tell them the answer all the time. The 研究项目 gives them permission to take those risks; it actually requires them to do so.

  • 问:为什么你认为高中女生学习正确的方法和方法做研究很重要?

    A: There’s an expectation at the very early college level, the freshman course level, that they’ll be able to do a number of things 独立的ly. It’s our responsibility to prepare our students for that. 十大网投平台信誉排行榜需要牢记一所大学对十大网投平台信誉排行榜的期望，并且知道教授不会传授这些技能. There’s not a lesson in place on how to use the database and how to use the library.

  • Q: What are some of the skills the students learn during the 研究项目?

    A: Through the research process, they learn how to properly identify information online and use it; they learn how to do smart searches; how to evaluate the credibility of a source; they’ll think about the information that they’re using and how they are using it. They also need to know how to document a source; when to know to abandon or discard it; when to know that an anticipated thesis statement is no longer valid—all of those things need to become more automatic for our students.
