Introduction
Lessons learnt depend on the experiences and the interpretation of the same lessons based on skills and applications derived from the scientific papers. The connection between teaching and research lessons relies on a person’s particular views. Hence, the teaching and researching sides give various views and depending on the approaches presented to the learner. This paper will discuss and evaluate the lessons I acquired throughout the entire course, at the group level and the personal level. In addition, I discuss the impact of the lesson acquired from primary resource searches and the relationship between science, literature, and societies.
Role of primary research in student development
Primary research is a tool that helps facilitate creativity and drive passion due to the original nature of the tasks (Looi, & Teh, 2015). Simply put, primary resource required new data and assessment, which pushed me, further to learn more and in the process acquired more. In the end, I was able to develop new skills, information, and new skillsets due to the practical components of the primary research.
The work ethic and the procedure of the primary research put in place by scholars, for the purposes of processing information and findings gives one a framework of thoughts in line with known scholars (Looi, & Teh, 2015). Therefore, the ability of piecing together an academic research gives me the confidence needed to conduct other kinds of researches and arrive at conclusive answers.
Furthermore, the first lesson of the research was knowledge acquisition and the second was diving into new unexplored sectors with various theories and rationalities, which in turn constructs new strategies and perspectives. The third lesson was the practical aspects of skills and controlling various elements for the sake of collaborative, coordination and teamwork (Looi, & Teh, 2015). At the end of the day, cohesion and learning through other team members infuses teamwork for overall implementation of the work.
Engaging academic activities increased my ability to capture a perfect picture and get actual results from the learning material while at the same time giving a good record of the other student’s thoughts during the entire study session (Secord, 2014). Thus, the learning material contained all of the necessary needs to enhance learning and keep other key concepts learnt before relevant and usable to students like me.
The major issue is acquiring the critical thinking tools and applying them in line with the information acquired (Secord, 2014). Moreover, primary research is a demanding way of gaining understanding, as it needs the correct amount of evaluation. Furthermore, the research has to align its outcomes with common facts within the scientific field.
Connection between science, literature, and society
Science and literature are two basic factors even though they are different from each other in major ways (Secord, 2014). They both play vital function in the human societies. Literature portrays the perspectives of people in terms of experiences within the human societies and may use science as a tool to propagate information or achieve the impossible within the societies.
Ancient science defined and shaped the meaning of information through tests and evidences (Secord, 2014). The common theme between society and science is the experiences they share through a connection of knowledgeable systems within the natural ecosystems.
The activities within the research scope is helpful in demonstrating the correlation between, the society, science, and literature. The literature mirrors into theories and concepts of the societies and its presence is persistent and continuous. It is no surprise that since science came of age and influenced civilizations, it had a toll on literature (Secord, 2014). Whether subtly or strong and openly, science left its figure prints in any literature ever written on earth. For example, the concepts learnt from philanthropically reactions do not obscure literature but rely in it for sending their message across the board and giving people a chance to know the clarity. In the other side, philosophical transactions seek to find justice and equality amidst the reality of societies and human interactions.
When comparing science before the science era and science after science gained its foot in human society, a total difference shows the correlation and interdependence of the two sectors. Furthermore, before science, there were religious beliefs and simple metaphysics rather than proves derived from intensive research (Looi, & Teh, 2015). Although religion and metaphysics still have a place in human societies, the place science curved for itself remains essential and undisputable.
Literature has a role to play when it comes to shading light on the plight within the society in terms of values and history (Looi, & Teh, 2015). However, science, unveils the facts and myths and it is up to the society to decide on what to belief. Besides, among the three, science had a powerful impact due to its practicality and its applicable nature.
In summary, the material of the entire course helped in developing new skills and application into real life situations. Moreover, the persistence and shifting the problem through understanding and giving a proper definition to the context of the condition helped to enhance practical skills and critical thinking during the entire learning sessions for the sake of attaining the main objectives.
