Research Journal Assignment #6b: Search Strings

I didn't receive any feedback on my search strings but after performing more searches into my research I have found a few useful ideas for my search strings. This includes the use of OR as a Boolean operator mainly. For example:

Jean Piaget AND Theory OR Education OR Development

or

Lev Vygotsky AND Theory OR Education OR Development

or

Jean Piaget AND Lev Vygotsky AND Differences OR Similarities

I found that simply using the AND operator gave many search engines too specified parameters to work within and quite often yielded no results at all. Using the OR operator gives the search engine more room and options to work with. Although this might not always return the most refined searches it is still beneficial and helpful, especially when using the AND operator is too narrow of a strategy.
