TARGETS
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
 Use the Internet as a tool for credible research and
information gathering.
 Gain awareness of cybercrimes.
 Practice computer ethics, online safety, and
security.
CONTEXTUALIZED ONLINE SEARCH AND RESEARCH
SKILLS

Contextualized search can be defined as a skilled or

optimized way of searching the Internet based on the
“context” provided, therefore narrowing down the
results given back to you by the search engine
(Feldman, 2012). This increases the chances of you
receiving the most appropriate reply to your query.
What is a research?
 Research is a systematic inquiry that attempts to
provide solutions to existing problems and
questions using facts and data. This is usually
presented in a form where all methods and
procedures conducted are recorded so that they
can viewed and accessed by others.
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH
To discover new information
To interpret existing facts
To revise accepted knowledge in light of
newly discovered facts
To apply theories and laws into practices
RESEARCH SKILLS TO DEVELOP
Check your sources
Ask good questions
Go beyond surface
Be patient
Respect ownership
Use your networks
ICT TOOLS USEFUL IN RESEARCH

Google Search- This search engine has

evolved from its infancy as a simple search
engine into a smart one capable of searching
the web through voice input and filtering the
results according to your behavioural data.
Google Scholar- It gives users a simpler way
to search for scholarly literature from the
internet. Using this, you can search for
research papers, articles, books, court rulings
and other sources of scholarly information.
Online Journals-are scholarly
publications released in a format
accessible via the internet.
Example: Oxford University Press
Academic Websites
Internet Archive
EBSCOhost
JSTOR
Internet Archive- is a not profit
electronic library that has a free-to-
access collection of digitalized
materials ranging from websites,
multimedia files and academic
materials.
EBSCOhost- It runs a service that
provides an online research database
with full text digital copies of books,
medical references and historical
archives.
JSTOR- another digital library
that is primarily licensed to
academic, scientific, and other
research and educational
institutions.
ICT Safety, Security, and Netiquette
The Internet is a vast network of computers where
many users, content, tools, and resources are made
accessible. You may do homework and research
papers with the help of the internet. You may
communicate with your peers through the internet.
They make it convenient for you to finish your work
easily.
VERIFICATION OF ONLINE SOURCE MATERIALS

Criteria when evaluating Source Materials:

Currency- Is the information up-to-date?
Security- Does the site ask too much personal
information?
Scope-Is the information in-depth?
Authority- Does the information come from a trusted
expert?
COMPUTER ETHICS AND
NETIQUETTE
