LEARN
Scientists depend on books, journal articles, technology,
experimental procedures, technical readings. In addition,
scienctists must be able to analyze their sources of information,
integrate that information with what they already know and
understand, use strategies to construct interpretations of the
information analyzed, synthesize that information into new
meaning in the form of graphs, charts, written documents, and
communicate their findings. Pulling and sharing information from
computers--email with colleagues around the globe, from real
data-base, research websites--are important skills!
The advancement of information technologies have impacted the way
the scientists learn. These new information technologies speed up
data collection, make analysis faster and new kinds of analysis
timely, and increase the number of discoveries, applications and
transfer knowledge.
