A lot of what I can do now comes from skill development and reading articles. When you look at a sample size, is that a good sample size? Is that representative of the group of the environment? Who's actually in that sample? Most of the time the answer is going to be yes. And if they don't cite anything in the paper, either the thing that they're trying to find a significant factor for hasn't been found. So common sense, ask questions that just make sense to you. If the conclusion doesn't have anything that's exciting, like they just pointed out the obvious, I don't bother reading it. It saves me like an hour of read-throughs
Danny Hatcher is a Youtuber, Blogger, and Author contributing to the conversation around educational science. He hosts a podcast called The Personal Knowledge Management Podcast, where he discusses topics in the field of PKM, like overcoming perfectionism, assessing note quality, extended mind theory, and more. To help him with all his research and creation, he uses Notion for collaborative efforts and Obsidian for personal notetaking.
We talked about how to navigate academic research, the problems with academia, how knowledge is built over time, and the issues in traditional University education. This conversation really made me question the way I teach and learn things. Talking to Danny is profound because he questions you when you say something that conflicts with itself. He made me realize just how much creating a shared definition of certain labels is critical to having a productive conversation. I don't think I will ever come to conversations the same.
