•What insights have you
gained about research from taking this course?
I have
gained a new respect for the process of what goes into research. Before this
course I had no knowledge of the research process. There is so much that goes
into development of research. So I appreciate what researchers do much more now
than I did before.
•In what ways have your ideas about the nature
of doing research changed?
I don’t feel my ideas about doing research has
changed I still would not be interested in conducting a research, but it has
giving me a better understanding of it and if I did have the opportunity to be
involved in one, I would not be completely unprepared.
•What lessons about planning, designing, and
conducting research in early childhood did you learn?
I’ve learned that you need to be precise when
conducting a research. You need to have a good plan, a good topic. Know who
your target population will be and make sure information is protected and valid.
•What were some of the challenges you
encountered—and in what ways did you meet them?
I encountered a lot of challenges, this course was
not easy for me, it was very much out of my comfort zone. Putting my topic in
to a topic question that made sense was probably the most difficult part of the
course. However, once I understood it, it became clear.
•What are some of the ways your perceptions of
an early childhood professional have been modified as a result of this course?
I don’t feel that my perceptions of an early
childhood professional have been modified or changed as a result of this
course. But, I do appreciate the researched that has gone into the early
childhood field more than I did before.
Thanks everyone...and much success in the future!!
