Research


When I think of research

     Directly and indirectly I have learned a great deal. Prior to taking this class I knew very little about how to conduct research on a topic. I must say it was a challenge for me one that I am glad that I did not give up on. As I look back I now realize that research requires a great deal of detailed work.
     I would say the biggest challenge for me was trying to put into words exactly what I was trying to say. I knew what I wanted to say but how to narrow it down and come up with a topic was a challenge. With the help of Dr. Davis I was able to get on track and work towards achieving my goal. With help and support of my classmates I managed to stay positive and not give up.

     As an early childhood professional this course has taught me the importance of research especially when it comes to children. Children play an important role in research and should be viewed as participants with a voice.

     To all my classmates thank you so much you have no idea how much you encouraged me. I have enjoyed reading your discussions and receiving your comments. As we get closer to graduation I look forward to meeting you. Thanks again.
