Drabble 2: The difference between research and finding out
Finding out is a human activity. Some of us are more curious than others. Some specialise in searching for information, or working out ways to piece information together.
Research is like ‘finding out plus’. So what are the pluses?
Research is finding out that leaves a trail so we can see and show others how we did the finding out. Research needs a good reason why we did what we did. Research needs a convincing argument for how we have interpreted the information. If it’s academic research, it also needs to show how it relates to past theories and academic knowledge.
