Study Notes

Selecting and Organizing Information

  • Information selection and organization are crucial for effective learning and problem-solving.
  • Strategies for selecting and organizing information include brainstorming, outlining, and using graphic organizers.

Brainstorming

  • Brainstorming is a technique for generating ideas, either individually or in groups.
  • It's a rapid process for capturing ideas and concepts.
  • Brainstorming helps to establish patterns and relationships between concepts.

Tools in Brainstorming

  • Idea lists, concept maps, and other graphic organizers effectively support brainstorming.

Idea List

  • Begin by listing broad topics, and then narrow them down to related subtopics.

Concept Map

  • Begin by writing the central concept.
  • Add branches for subtopics under the central concept.
  • Further branches can explore individual topics.

Concept Map Example (COVID-19)

  • Central concept: COVID-19
  • Branches:
    • Prevention (Wash hands often, stay home, keep safe distance)
    • Symptoms (Tiredness, fever, dry cough)

Ways to Brainstorm Effectively

  • Brain writing: The team leader shares the topic with the team, and members write down their own individual ideas.
  • Figuring storming: Putting yourself in new "shoes" (taking on different perspectives) can generate fresh ideas.
  • Brain netting: Virtual teams are an increasingly common approach, facilitating brainstorming across different locations.
  • Rapid ideation: The team leader provides context, and members are given a time limit to write down as many ideas as possible, using any available tool.
  • Round Robin: Team members gather in a circle, taking turns sharing ideas without initial evaluation.
  • Starbusting: Focuses on generating questions rather than answers.
  • Stepladder Technique: The facilitator shares a topic or questions with the whole team. Then, everyone leaves the room except two members. The topic is shared again with subsequent pairs while the rest stay out.

Review

  • First stage of the writing process.
  • Consider the perspective of a third person.
  • Focus on generating questions.
  • Members share ideas in a circle.
  • Time limits are set to generate as many ideas as possible.
  • The team leader shares the topic with the team, and members write their own ideas.
  • Everyone leaves the room except for two people when the topic is shared.
  • Brainstorming is a social process to generate ideas.

Graphic Organizer

  • Graphic organizers are visual displays showing relationships between concepts and ideas.
  • Various types of graphic organizers exist, depending on the information needing organization (e.g., flow charts, concept maps, Venn diagrams, flower grids, columned charts, taxonomies).

Outline

  • Outlines serve as a roadmap or blueprint for writing.
  • Outlines help organize ideas, showing hierarchical relationships and logical order.
  • Two main types of outlines:
    • Topic outline: Uses words or phrases as headings without punctuation.
    • Sentence outline: Uses full sentences.

Principles of Effective Outline

  • Parallelism: Aligning words or phrases in similar grammatical structure.
  • Coordination: Arranging ideas based on their value or importance, with similar aspects grouped together using the same format.
  • Subordination: Arranging ideas according to levels of significance (major and minor).
  • Division: Separating kinds of points consistently with distinct categories.

Example of a Topic Outline (COVID-19)

  • Thesis: Effects of COVID-19
  • I. Economy
    • A. Travel and tourism
        1. Suspension of domestic/international flights
        1. Closure of hotels/resorts
    • B. Business
        1. Closure of business establishments
  • II. Education
    • A. Adoption of alternative delivery modes
