  • A guide to "doing your own research" in 6 steps
    2024/09/10
    In today's digital age, the phrase "I did my own research" has become all too common. But what does it really mean? Believe me, it’s not doing a quick Google search, watching a few YouTube videos, or asking ChatGPT for an opinion. While this might give you information, it's vastly different from what researchers actually do. In this video, we'll explore the true meaning of research, the goals behind it, and the essential steps involved in conducting genuine research. 🌟 What You’ll Learn: What Is Research? Discover the true definition of research as "the creation of new knowledge, or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way to generate new concepts, meanings, and understanding." The Goal of Research: Understand that the primary goal of research is to generate new knowledge that contributes to the existing body of knowledge. Why “Doing Your Own Research” Isn’t Enough: See why a quick online search isn’t the same as conducting real research, which involves creativity, scientific rigor, and a deep understanding of the subject matter. 💡 Why Research Is Both Science and Art: Learn why being a researcher requires wearing both a scientist's and an artist's hat. You need the scientific rigor to design and conduct research, but also the creativity to generate new ideas and hypotheses. 🚀 Your Challenge: How would you describe the process of doing research to someone who has never heard of it before? Drop your thoughts in the comments—I'm eager to hear your insights! #research #academia #study

  • 5 simple activities to boost your independent thinking
    2024/09/03
    In today's world, independent thinking is more crucial than ever. Yet, many people struggle with it—repeating what they've read or heard without truly processing or questioning the information. Don't be one of them! In this video, we're diving into the crisis of independent thinking, exploring why it's so challenging, and discussing why it's vital for personal and professional growth. 🌟 What You’ll Learn: What Is Independent Thinking? Understand the true essence of independent thinking—using your judgment to form original ideas and interpretations. Why Is It So Hard? We’ll explore three major reasons why independent thinking is in crisis: lack of education, fear of putting out your ideas, and the effort it requires. Why Does It Matter? Discover how independent thinking can help you solve problems, work autonomously, and generate groundbreaking ideas. 💡 5 Simple Activities to Boost Independent Thinking: Your Own Review: Formulate your own review of movies, books, or any content before checking others' opinions. State Your Opinion: Always state your opinion on any topic and back it up with three solid reasons. Describe Your Experiences: Go beyond "It was great!" and dig deeper into what made an experience truly special or terrible. Reflect on Your Values: Regularly reflect on what you truly value and understand how these values play out in your life. Ask Why: Challenge everyday routines by asking “Why?” about simple actions to spark your independent thinking. 🔥 Bonus Challenge: After watching this video, try the first activity—leave a comment telling me what you thought about this video and why! Let’s work together to become better, more independent thinkers. If you find this content valuable, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments!
