In Module 2, we will discuss the role of digital literacy, critical thinking, and project management in text and data mining research. Through a project-based learning lens, we will situate text and data mining to identify and practice key critical thinking strategies that can help facilitate the inquiry and research workflow.
- Identify critical thinking, digital literacy, and project management outcomes associated with text and data mining.
- Apply critical thinking strategies to think about ideation and interpretation of research questions and workflow output.
- Create a concept map for your topic. Be sure to branch out at least three layers.
- Select a concept on your outer most layer and perform some preliminary research to determine if the level of specificity of this area is actionable for research.
- Then, do the 'Who, Why, How, When' activity to develop your research question using that preliminary research and reflection.
- Evaluate your research question and write down what you anticipate will be needed for cleaning, tools, and close reading to plan and scope your project effectively.
