What insights have you gained
about research from taking this course?
The research that I did in high
school and junior college did not prepare me for really research. I have
learned that there is a lot more that I need to learn about research. I have
learned that research is a necessary evil.
In what ways have your ideas
about the nature of doing research changed?
I now understand that research
is hard but it is necessary. I now have clearer ideas on the ethics of doing
research with young children.
What lessons about planning,
designing, and conducting research in early childhood did you learn?
That when planning you
must have a clear understanding of what you want to learn/prove.
What were some of the
challenges you encountered—and in what ways did you meet them?
Learning the different types of
research and all of the ethics involved when it comes to children. I meet them
by re-reading the material and web searches.
What are some of the ways your
perceptions of an early childhood professional have been modified as a result
of this course?
That we are all doing research
on some level in our classrooms daily,
I want to say thank you to all
my classmates for their support during this class. I have enjoyed all of the
feedback.
