MY INFORMATION USER PROFILE Answer the following questions•

What are factors that can disturb our research process? Explain in brief! While researching, there are some factors that can disturb, for example is the time factor, the students must be have so many courses after school, or a party or family meeting, and it means they have no time to research. And this thing is pressuring, and makes students to stay up and doing their research projects at all night. Stay up at all night itself makes the students become not concentration in class, and the parents angry to the students and the parents finally take off and stop the using of the Internet. And I thought, parents do that because they think that the students are playing game online, not researching when using Internet. Moreover the school and teacher side don’t want to explain to students’ parents about this. [This thing’s actually what happening to me now] And as I said and discussed above, Internet is also disturbing the research process. Slow Internet, and an error in using Internet such as disconnected makes student feel annoyed, lazy, tired and can’t research maximally. As the result, students don’t get good mark, once again, parents will be angry to the students.

What are the possible solutions?

Doing the research in installments when having day-off, or weekend is good, so when students are about have to go to somewhere place, students only have to continue the research project little bit again. Besides, change our Internet to be better and faster are the best ways to prevent slow Internet and disconnection. And to make parents become not angry again, school must held a Parent, Teacher, and Student Meeting so students can explain what is the problem that makes the student’s score is not good.

Give at least 2 pieces of evidence showing that you have applied research and information skills. The works can be from the previous years. Give some comments! This far, I’ve applied research and information skills in biology subject. In Biology subject, Mr. Marisi was tell us to do some research on metagenesis and metamorphosis in plants and animals. He also was telling us to do research on birds, plants grafting, and plants pollination. Geography is also the subject where I show that I’ve applied research and information skills. In Geography subject, Mr. Fransz was telling us to make a map of a country and search the legend information of that country. For example, we’re about making a map of USA, Mississippi, and for example, there are volcanoes there. We have to research on it, what are the volcanoes there, and each volcano
