From the course, the insights that I have gained
about research are that, like anything, research has its purpose in life.
Research when conducted effectively is vital to early childhood education. My ideas about research have changed drastically. I have always been told, “Walk a mile in
someone else’s shoes”. Thus, to truly
understand the aspects and importance of research, I had to go through the
steps of being involved in a research.
The lessons about planning, designing, and
conducting research in early childhood that I learned is that planning is the
most vital part of the research project.
Having a structured plan helps to lead the basis of the research. Some of the challenges that I encountered
while conducting my research was being thorough in my thoughts that supported
my research. The ways that I met these
challenges was to listen to and act on the productive advice that I received
from my instructor and colleagues. As a result of this course, my perception of
early childhood professional have changed in regard to a new found respect for
all the research that has been conducted to pave the way.
