When I first enter this class I was like what in the word
have I got myself in to. I quickly
thought to myself that I would have to write this long research paper that
would be 20 pages or more, had to look for different resources to make the
paper good, had to spend long hours in the library to find what I needed for
the research paper, and would have to find some people to participant in the research. I also felt out of place because I had no
idea what to do for this research, didn’t know how to read research because of
the language and BIG terminology, and in addition, the graphs and charts. At the beginning I thought I was setting
myself up for failure.
Through this course I have learned a lot about research. I have learned how to read just the important
parts of the research to save time. I have learned why people do research and
why it is important to do research.
The way course was taught has really helped me conduct a
research. The way it was broken into
small parts really helped me understand research. Defining the terminology in the book also help
me understand research and completing the charts for the chapters also
helped.
Some challenges I faced in this course was coming up with
good research topics and finding something that was interest to me. I keep
choosing broad topic and changing it because it was something I don’t like.
Through research there is a lot that can be found. As the world change, educators are face with
more and more challenges learning about young child. Research for early childhood is very
important it help educators and parents found answers to the unknown.
I would like to thanks everyone for the encouragement throughout
this course and to Professor Janet Kien for been an awesome professor. I knew only a little coming into this course
and leaving out confidence enough to attempt a research.
