Summary of the lesson.
Multiple sources comprise the following: lectures, textbooks, fictional stories, novels, interviews and biographies, duplicates handouts, original source materials, electronic media, Internet and others. Stahl, Et A1 found that using multiple text-sources can only be effective if we are taught to use them properly. Studying with multiple sources offers a fundamentally different view of the learning process from the traditional studying based on the use of single sources to complicated, up-to-date ways of the study i.e. studying with multiple sources, where new knowledge is achieved through confrontation among different sources. Furthermore, it is not only getting additional information and perspectives from different sources, but also implementing acquired knowledge in actions in real life.
As Kolb, D,A. (“Experiential Learning: Experience as the Source of Learning and Development”, Oxford University Press, 2010, p.138) points out: “..studying is a skill, being successful in life requires many different skills, such as time-management, self discipline, concentration, memorization, organization, and effort. We must understand the nature and forms of human knowledge and the processes whereby this is created. It has already been emphasized that this process of creation occurs at all levels of sophistication when studying with multiple sources”. Studying with multiple sources has a number of advantages and disadvantages:
To begin with advantages, it teaches learners to be effective and find proper use of the received material, which encourages students to be creative, selective and develop their analytical skills and the most important thing is adapting acquired knowledge, where needed and using it in real life.
Secondly, information from different sources arouses students’ curiosity and increases their comprehension of additional materials and assists interacting or engaging with facts, circumstances of the material, practicing and familiarizing with new material and concepts, improve their evaluative skills, like comparing, contrasting and analyzing which is a great experience and a big step forward towards a future career.
Thirdly, it helps learners to impede their learning by analyzing, reorganizing or synthesizing and filtering information as these skills impact the development of a person.
At the level of advantages, studying with multiple sources has a number of disadvantages like challenges in understanding of the received material because of their academic nature and tremendous size while processing, time consumptions owing to the variety of sources, concealment of bias and others.

Finally, in addition to these practical benefits studying with multiple sources provides a wide range of opportunities in being more self-confident and enterprising. Furthermore, multiple sources can greatly improve and dress experience of learners if they know how to use them properly.
