When I Think of Research...

What insights have you gained about research from taking this course? I have definitely gained a deeper understanding of research and the importance of it.  I’m still not 100% clear on the understanding of all the research styles but I am clearer than I was when I took this course in undergrad.

In what ways have your ideas about the nature of doing research changed? I’m learning more and more that research is important to the future of education. Doing research helps to deepen your understanding in any topic

What lessons about planning, designing, and conducting research in early childhood did you learn? I have incorporated research in my everyday life but certainly in my career as an educator, I will be using research to help me understand the field more so I will be able to serve children the way want to.

What were some of the challenges you encountered—and in what ways did you meet them?

My main challenge is gaining a full understanding of all the research styles and how to apply them to the early childhood education field. I am still learning how to meet the challenges.
With continue studying I will be able to meet the challenge.

What are some of the ways your perceptions of an early childhood professional have been modified as a result of this course? Well, my perspective hasn’t been modified but has been enhanced. When I started I want to open a school but after this, I realize I need to open an organization and start with early childhood education.
