When I Think of Research...

·         What insights have you gained about research from taking this course?
  • The insight I have come to understand while I thought I knew how to do research I have found that I did not know as much as I thought I did. I now realize just how much detail it takes to do an accurate research.
·         In what ways have your ideas about the nature of doing research changed?
  • I now can see that while research is a lengthy progress it is well worth the time. I see that anyone can do a research sturdy if they have the correct progress to fine the answers to their questions.
·         What lessons about planning, designing, and conducting research in early childhood did you learn?
  • I learnt while you are doing a research project you must be organized and mission oriented. It also helps that you have a clear-cut hypothesis in which you are looking for answer with.
·         What were some of the challenges you encountered—and in what ways did you meet them?
  • The challenges I meet with was that I was not as ready as I thought I was for research. I found some of the jargon hard to understand until I got more into the class.
·         What are some of the ways your perceptions of an early childhood professional have been modified as a result of this course?
  • I always knew that research was an important part of the field. We as teachers could always use all the new materials we could get. I can now appreciate the progress behind the new knowledge.


Thank you my fellow classmates for your comments and suggests in this class. I look forward to see you in the next class!

  1. Elaine,
    I definitely agree with you in that you have to be organized when taking on a research project. I also agree that taking on a research project is quite a long process, however as you stated: “it is well worth the time”. As I believe that we have to do research in the early childhood field so that we can help find better and new ways to best support the development of the children that we work with. Wishing you all the best of luck with your next course!
