I would completely agree with the findings of the research in regard to students feeling anxiety due to information overload. I feel that when I start a new research project, I immediately feel a burden while finding my topic and information about the topic. Something that can prevent or manage the information anxiety is to use databases and libraries to find narrowed information about a topic. While scanning through these resources, it can be made easier to narrow down a broad topic as well as find key information that is easy to use in the paper. I would also suggest to write ideas down and brainstorm to try to define how a broad topic can be narrowed down into something that can be more easily researched. While brainstorming, common knowledge can start to develop. When finding a topic, try to first identify the things you already know, and then research more complex details.
Databases and libraries are great tools! And using brainstorming techniques can really help narrow things down. I loved your response! Keep up the good work!
I agree with you Avery. Using the tools that we have is definitely a huge advantage that I wish was taught sooner in school. Brainstorming ideas is also a super good tool and idea that can be used to narrow and find a topic for research. Great work!
I love the ideas you gave to prevent anxiety! Databases are very smart to use.
