Abstract: As the book as No book, do not have a net, if you believe that the content of the book is correct, it is better not to read, if you think the network is written on the truth, it is better not to surf the internet. Now a lot of people will say: On the internet there are

Do not book as much as the letter, do not network as well as the net, if you believe that the content of the book is correct, it is better not to read, if you think the network is written on the truth, it is better not to surf the internet. Now a lot of people will say: "Someone on the internet said that, students will say: This is what I found on the Internet." It seems that some information on the Internet can be used as evidence in a court.

There is a great deal of knowledge on the web, but there is a lot of wrong information in the right information. Not only professional knowledge will have many wrong content, even the life of the information is a mess of nonsense content. Some information is not wrong, just because it is outdated and not applicable.

Why is there a lot of wrong or outdated information on the Web? Because everyone can express their views on the Internet, perhaps some of the correct information, in the absence of a screening mechanism to disperse. Many of the right information at the time, publishers can not be updated at any time. So this situation will only become more and more serious, in a large number of network information, the correct rate will be lower and higher, the content of the nonsense will be more and more, because we all put the network as a training platform. In this vast practice console, if you can't filter effectively, you may be misled by the wrong information.

In addition, often found in the search results after the site, found that every word is understood, but how is not know what to say, the yuan is a lot of content is a patchwork.

So web search is not equal to research, after the search must be through professional training to filter, filtering and the formation of the right knowledge is the study, but many people are directly after the content of the search as a result of the study.

This "Percent of Teachers dour Students equate" study "with Using Google" says, according to Pew Research, 94% of teachers say students use search engines such as Google as tools for research.

Wikipedia and other online encyclopedia as a research tool to 75% second place, and the use of physical books and physical libraries as research tools to the seat.

The following statistics show that 55% of the teachers think that most of their students have good search ability, 40% of the teachers think some of their students have good search ability, 5% of the teachers think their students have good search ability.

Therefore, although the search is already a network of important research tools, but many students do not have a professional search ability, and can not correctly filter out the real knowledge, so the network search is not equal to research.

If you want to really use the search engine as a real research tool, you must fully understand the search engine, know how to order to do effective search, and find a large number of data, but also rely on a variety of sources of knowledge (such as books, etc.) to confirm the correctness of the search data, then this information can become the material of research, Of course, these research materials are other people's, but also must digest after the whole, and then add their own things to really become the research content.
