When I Think of Research...

It will be hard for me to explain the many things I have learned about research during the past eight weeks. One of the first things I discovered is how one needs to be careful when considering sources to be credible. This was very enightening for me. I also realize how important it is when choosing participants and deciding how to obtain data. One must be very careful when involving children in research. Parental consent may be needed in most cases and the consent may no to easy to obtain. One of the challenges I encountered was being careful where ethical issues were involved. I made sure to take necessary precautions to insure the confidentiality needed. I think it is very beneficial for professionals to continue with early childhood research. It is very important for teachers and other educators to be able to look up research on certain topics to become better at what we are doing. To my fellow colleagues, I want to thank you for all of the support you have provided for me during this class. I wish you all the best as you continue with your journey in early childhood.
