Research Skills Big6 - Step 6. Evaluation
- Judge the
product (effectiveness)
- Judge the
information problem-solving process (efficiency)
You should be the first person to evaluate your own
work. Ideally you will have finished your project in advance enough to check it
thoroughly. After that, you could ask a classmate or family member if they have
time to do it. Then,when you turn it in to the teacher to evaluate and grade,
you will know it is the best work that you wanted to do.
This evaluation depends on a lot of different criteria.
Some of the criteria might be written by the teacher in the assignment. Some of
them might be artistic decisions like the effectiveness of an informational
poster, or the literary quality of a play or poem. Some of the criteria are
common sense.
Here is a list of the common sense criteria to evaluate
for yourself.
1. Correct spelling
2. Overall neatness
3. Parts in a logical and correct order, nothing missing
4. Borrowed material properly cited
5. Any thesis statements or arguments have been supported
Assessment tools

Research Skills Big6 - Step 5. Synthesis
The purpose of this step is to organise the ideas for presentation.
| 1. How can I organize all the information? You may: |
- Write a rough draft
- Build an outline
- Create a storyboard
- Draw a sketch (Sometimes it is easier to put the notes together in a form that resembles the final project.)
| If your teacher assigns the product: |
- Remember to follow the guidelines he or she gives.
- Include your ideas along with the information you found in books, web sites, and other sources.
- an oral presentation using PowerPoint
- writing a paper
- creating a video or audio tape
- using technology if it is the best way to show the results
- Make sure that your final product or paper is more than just a summary of what you found in the other sources.
- Create a product or write a paper that you would be proud for anyone to read or see.
- Include a bibliography

Research Skills Big6 - Step 4. Use of Information
The purpose of this step is
to evaluate information collected from various sources. That requires effectively extracting information from
your sources, taking good notes, and cite your sources clearly and
correctly.
1. What type of information do I need?
Extract relevant
information from a source. When you read a text, ask yourself whether it is
relevant to the research topic:
- Does it
describe the background of food safety in Hong Kong?
- Does it
explain the reasons behind food safety in Hong Kong?
- Does it
suggest any solutions to food safety in Hong Kong?
- Apart from
text, do I need pictures, graphs and figures, etc. to
complete my research?
2. How can I take
notes?
Take notes while you are
reading and after you have read a text. Use the following note-taking
skills to help you:
~ Do not write down everything that is said,
word-for-word, that would be transcribing, which is an altogether different
skill.
~ Write
in your own style and use your own words.
~ Try to use short concise points, single words or phrases or short
sentences, use bullet or numbered lists if necessary.
~ Use underlining, indentation, circle words or
phrases, use highlighter pens –
whatever system works for you to emphasis the most important points and add
some structure to your notes.
~ Use some sort of shorthand system that you
will understand later –
develop this system as you become more skilled at note-taking.
Once the event has finished:
- As soon as possible, after the event, you should review and, where necessary, rework your notes.
- If possible share and/or compare your notes with a peer.
Is the information
reliable?
You can assess the
reliability of information by evaluating a website. You can use the Web
Research Guide from Criteria For Evaluating Web Resources,
or the resources under the tutorial session below to help you.

Research Skills Big6 - Step 2. Information Seeking Strategies
The purpose of this step is to help students to determine a focus for the research, narrow the topic and develop questions.
1. What are the best sources to use ?
You can select relevant information from reliable sources. You can use the following criteria to help you assess the quality of sources:
- whether the author is listed
- credentials of an author
- whether there is a bias or a commercial interest
- how current the information is
- provision of links to other references and resources
You can include both primary and secondary sources. As for primary sources, you can include pictures, facts, statistics, data and figures. Commentary, editorials and opinions are examples of secondary sources.
The tutorials below tell you how to use the resources on the Internet effectively to do yourresearch. They can also help you differentiate primary and secondary sources.

Research Skills Big6 - Step 1. Task definition
Guideline to students – Following the research skill Big 6 framework
What are the questions I need to answer?
You need to raise questions about the food safety in Hong Kong that you find interesting and would like to explore, for example the contaminated meat that McDonald uesd in Hong Kong.
How is it relevant in my life?
You need to explain why you choose a particular area of interest and explain how it interests you.
Tools
- Selecting a topic
- Focusing on a small topic
