Week 5 - Empirical Research Articles

Empirical Research Articles


Although this weeks research on an empirical article was informing for my research question:  With the current state of an unstable economy and politics; what are some possible bleak economical predictions and future world industries for a current or future college graduate to consider? …I feel understanding metadata and use of it was a bit challenging.  Maybe I just did not get it as much from the readings.   I tried using it during this weeks research and turned out better not trying to use it.   Getting creative with different controlled vocabulary searches and keywords I feel I am getting better at.  This weeks research using the ERIC search engine was almost too easy I feel.  With that said, I hope I was doing it correctly!  My research question fell right in line with the search engine and categories of “Education/Early Childhood Development”.   However, I do feel like I am getting closer to answers to my topic:  “Small Business Triumphs and Downfalls Since the 2008 Recession.”   It’s getting a lot more interesting and all the different search engines that I have been learning about has opened up a whole new research world for me just by itself.
