I have learned great insights about research from taking this
course. I have a greater respect for research and researchers. I have gained insight to the process of research.
I have learned how to develop research in order to solve and/or understand. It begins with a topic and then refined to sub
topics and narrowed to a specific question.
I have no really desire to be a researcher. I feel that in
early childhood we research daily to provide developmentally appropriate lesson
plans and individualize to the needs of the children. In my opinion, I feel as research is very
important to young children, their families, and people who care about their
well-being. Research provides new knowledge and understanding to issues that affect
early childhood.
Before completing this course, research was something that I
read when needed to help a child or family. Since taking this class, I feel that
I have gained a better understanding how to read and apply research. It gave me insight as to how difficult
designing a research project is through our simulation.
My perceptions of an early childhood professional have been
modified as a result of this course. As we continue to learn in our field I
truly appreciate the efforts of past, present and future researchers.
As this course comes to an end, I would like to thank my
colleagues for their support, comments, and encouraging words throughout this
course. Thank you and good luck to you all.
Joy,

I have also gained a great deal of knowledge and respect for all that it takes to conduct a research study. This course was very informative so now when I read something pertaining to research I have will truly know what to look for to assure that the research study has all the components to assure that the information is valid. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Joy,
ReplyDeleteWhen I started this course, I thought I pretty good with researching information online.However,now I’m not so sure. This course was difficult and yet interesting. I’m not sure I will ever be good at it but, when teaching children you have to be able to keep up with new information. Thanks for always inspiring me and good luck on the path you are taking; I know you will do very well!
