Question

What complications or challenges might a GCU learner have that might not be recognizable during the research study?

Answer 1

Too much information can also be lethal for a student or a researcher. Therefore to critically think and analyse the relevance of information is something that is the need of the hour for researchers today. The ability to intellectually discriminate between the pieces of information, thoroughly understand and discriminate between the nature of content is something which is possible only through critical thinking along with other soft skills. According to the contructivist framework of learning, a learner may have to form new connections with the already available information and what is given or already established. This may be an additional challenge since it requires various skills to be able to do so in a learning set up. A researcher/learner therefore needs to be highly equipped in order to create a meaningful study. A highly research oriented mind is required for the same and it can be accomplished only through repeated practice and training.
