Welcome to the guide for EDUC 214 If you would like to talk with me about finding or citing sources for your research in this class or any other, please feel free to make an appointment with me here:
Searching for research on child study as a methodology can be a little tricky. Here are some tips to help out!
Use quotation marks
Putting child study into a database or even a google search will get you everything with the word child and everything with the word study.
Putting "child study" and "descriptive review" into a search box will yield much better results.
Use AND
Even better, try adding words to "child study" to really specify what you mean. Consider these examples:
"child study" AND Carini
"child study" AND methodology
Use OR
We know that the methodology is known both as child study and descriptive review of the child. Putting both of these in the search helps you capture all relevant results.
"child study" OR "descriptive review"
|
You can combine all our tricks like this: ("child study" OR "descriptive review") AND Carini |
Looking for more recent scholarship that cites the articles and books you're reading in class? Try Google Scholar!
