Internet as a Learning Facilitator

Despite the various bad 'bogeymen' regarding the internet today, of course there are still positive benefits that many people can take. One of them is for learning purposes and supporting academic activities.

This can come in various forms, starting from the need to find information, develop knowledge and skills, explore teaching and learning materials, skill tutorials, verify/validate facts, etc.

Meanwhile, specifically for scientific purposes, there are two other things that are generally very helpful when utilizing the internet: for the purposes of searching for theoretical foundations and library references.

As a standard practice, those working in this field (usually students, lecturers, and researchers) need many sources, such as books, scientific articles, written works, and various other documents.

There are so many platforms available for this context out there – one of them is Google Scholar. With its motto, “Standing on the shoulders of giants”, it has become an essential platform for those in education.

Google Scholar: Learning Platform

Now let's go straight into the main discussion, namely the ins and outs of Google Scholar as a 'giant' scientific platform. Hmm, how important is it that many people use it?

Well, to understand better, it's a good idea for Vicigers to first understand the service scheme that Google provides to its 'child'. Yep, because under the auspices of the technology giant, the way to use it is similar.

With a user interface (UI) display designed like a search engine in general, users need to input certain keywords in the search column according to what they need.

In seconds, Google Scholar will provide a variety of results. But what is different from search engines in general is that the results that appear will only be limited to scientific findings.

Some of them are present in the form of scientific sites, such as open (scientific) journal systems, publisher pages, campus websites, etc. However, there are also some that are directly present in the form of documents in the format PDF.

Is Google Scholar Suitable For General Use?

What is also no less important is the suitability of use: "Can Google Scholar be used by the general public (other than academics such as students or lecturers)?" The answer is simple, yes it is.

As part of Google's services, internet users can access Scholar legally, and for free. Anyone can use this platform and cite various search results as widely as possible without any restrictions.

However, the user’s capacity to digest the results Scholar provides also needs to be considered. Since the platform is available to support academics, the results are often presented in English.

Not only that, the weight of the discussion also has a scientific level that can generally only be understood by those who are/have completed higher education and are conducting research activities.

This is different from the search results of regular Google search engine services, which are generally 'distilled' media sourced from Scholar: the language is easier for lay people to understand.

Therefore, in order to use it more optimally, Vicigers can match it according to your abilities. If you feel that the language and studies from Google Scholar can be digested, please use it.

After all, they are one of the 'sources of all sources' that are valid by consensus (recognized as correct by many parties). However, if it still feels 'too high', it's better to sharpen your knowledge first.
