What is the Research Process? 

What is the process I need to go through? What are the steps that are involved?

Humanities Research Process

Formulate Questions & Develop a Plan What do I want to know and how am I going to find out? I can write a focused, relevant question that will guide my inquiry. I can develop a plan that will guide me through the inquiry process that includes time management.

Gather and Organise Where do I find the evidence and information I need to answer my question and how will I organise it effectively? I can gather relevant evidence and information that support my question. I can gather evidence and information from different points of view. I can organise the evidence and information in my own words and in a format that makes sense to me.

Interpret and Analyse How will I know if my evidence is going to be useful in answering my question? I can analyse the content and reliability of my chosen sources. I can account for perspective within the sources. I can determine if all points of view have been represented in my sources and find out more if needed.

Evaluate and Draw Conclusions What can I learn  from the evidence and how does it support my conclusions? I can evaluate the evidence and information to develop conclusions.

Communicate How can I best present my conclusions? I can communicate my conclusions and cite the sources I have used.
