INFORMATION EVALUATIONRESEARCH MATERIAL:

The research stage should follow the following steps.

1. Find the material

2. Select the material that is required.

3 Interpret the material for application.

4. Evaluate the material.

5. Analyse the material and interpretation.

6. Justify the communication method used to convey the information.

7. Criticize the use of the information and interpretations.



NEXT

RESEARCH MATERIAL: DISCUSSION

2. Select the Material

How can appropriate material be selected?

Must be applicable to the project. Must be understandable Must be useable.

Must be at the correct level. Must be at the correct depth.



INFORMATION EVALUATION

3. Interpret the Material How can the material be interpreted?

Use several different sources to confirm the interpretation.

The sources should be: below the expected level, at the expected level, above the expected level.

The information must then be compared for an accurate interpretation
