Experience and Knowledge
Experience is a familiar and well-used source of knowledge. As a student, you
may have encountered difficulties as you were growing up but each experience is
something that you learn from- either it has given you a taste of success or failure. It
has been said that experience is the best teacher. However, one may be limited in
terms of experience as a source of knowledge.
For things that are difficult or impossible to know by personal experiences, you
may turn to an authority. Particularly in research, knowledge is sought from other
people who had experienced what the problem is or some other sources of expertise.
Everyday experiences would show that we consult a teacher for academic matters or a
physician for health-related cases. This consultation is not limited to people. For
example, we use a dictionary to find the meaning of a difficult word, an encyclopedia to
get information on a certain topic as a research to support our own findings.
As students, you may be asked to write a research paper for these reasons:
Research teaches methods of discovery
Research teaches investigative skills
Research teaches critical thinking
Research teaches logic
Research teaches the basic ingredients of argument (Lester, Sr & Lester Jr.,
2005)
A research paper is a form of academic writing which you comply with as one of
the requirements for a particular course (subject). This is a research output that you will
write after conducting an actual research which involves data collection, interpretation,
and analysis. It is a scholarly undertaking insofar as you incorporate in your paper what
experts or authorities say about the topic (Lee, Ballena, Pareja, Gochuico, & Puzon,
2014).
