Intended for teachers and teacher-librarians, this guide provides instructional materials and commentary to help students grow in their ability to gather, process, and share information, and develop research skills applicable to any subject area and in real life situations. The guide is divided into seven chapters: (1) "Introduction and Overview," provides information on the goals of research and the purposeful use of research activities; (2) "Focus," which explains the roles of the student, the teacher/teacher-librarian, and resources in the development of a research activity; (3) "Research--the Components," which lists in tabular format the five stages of a research model, and the skills and strategies that are involved in each stage; (4) "Curriculum Links," which cites skills from teacher resource manuals that promote the use of research; (5) "Before Research--Teacher Preparation," which provides planning information that will be most useful to teachers just beginning to integrate research into classroom activities; (6) "Putting It into Practice," which offers specific examples for implementing research in class situations; and (7) "From the Classroom," which provides descriptions of research activities from teachers who implement research in their curricula. The appendix contains planning forms that may prove useful to teachers who are new to integrating research activities into their classes. (38 references) (SD)
