Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is Diana Barrett. I
have been attending Brandman University since January 2013 and have so far
completed four classes. My goal is to complete a Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational
Leadership by the end of the summer 2014. I am active duty Air Force and have
been serving my country for just over 10 years. As far as my current career
aspirations, my goal is to retire from the Air Force in about 10 to 15 years
depending on my promotion progression. As of right now, I am unsure of what I
want to do when I retire from the Air Force. The Air Force has been really good
to me and I have not put too much thought into what I want to do in the
future. Part of the reason why I am
attending school right now is so that when I do retire I will have the
education to help me start a new career.
Currently, because my goal is to retire from the Air Force,
I am having a tough time thinking of a research topic that has to do with a career
path I would like to pursue. In the Air
Force, my current job is that of a Professional Military Education (PME)
instructor. I really love this job and because of that I could see myself
teaching in the future. Therefore, I would like to research how the experience
and credentials I have received in the military can help me become a teacher
when I retire. One specific area I would
like to improve on in regards to information fluency and literacy comes from
the Information Literacy Competency
Standards for Higher Education. I would like to be able to examine and
compare information from various sources in order to evaluate reliability,
validity, accuracy, authority, timeliness, and point of view or bias. I think
it is very important to be able to evaluate information and sources critically,
especially now a days with all the information that can be obtained from the
internet. Improving this one specific area will help me become a better
researcher.
