RESEARCH
What insights have you gained about research from taking
this course?
Doing this
course I think I learn more about research, how to do it and the importance for
research in early childhood is necessary to know more about that the science, medicine
tells us about it. Doing research we could make better decisions, and find more
information to a problem.
I learn about equality, that you always need to work with
ethics, and for that reason the confidentiality is important in doing research.
In what ways have your ideas about the nature of doing
research changed?
I think now I have the gain to investigate more, to have a
better understanding of the topics, different behavior, problems that we will
see in early childhood, in schools, and how I’m going to help with my knowledge
and investigation to the Field, and to the Children.
What lessons about planning, designing, and conducting
research in early childhood did you learn?
First that we need to have in mind that when we work with
children we need to respect them, and to know their behavior, their feelings,
for making good interview or strategies to gain their trust, and having good
relationship with them.
Also I think
is important to observe the children, when they play and when they learn.”Good
observation is fundamental to the task of good teaching.”(Mac Naughton G., Rolfe S. A.,& Siraj-Blatchford I. (2010). )
What were some of the challenges you encountered, and in
what ways did you meet them?
For me one of
the challenges was in select my topic, and how to work with making a good Hypothesis.
What are some of the ways your perceptions of an early
childhood professional have been modified as a result of this course?
That we need
to respect our differences, and our cultures, and work together is a good way
to gain more knowledge and more points of views of others, that would help in
understand and thinking always in the well- being of the children, working for
them and for their good development.

Hello Maria, This was a tough course but I have gain a lot in this course. There are so much of knowledge I gained from this course, hat I didn't
ResponderEliminarknow about. I have learn more about observations and this will give me more understanding and empower me with the knowledge that I need.
One of my biggest challenges in this course was also solidifying a topic for research, and then narrowing it down so that the topic is not so broad. There is definitely a lot of work that goes into research. I also agree with you when you stated the fact that we must take the children into consideration, and that we must know them. They are human just like us, Thank you for sharing your insights throughout the class and I wish you the best of luck in all of your future classes. Be blessed.
