My
thoughts and reviews in regard to Early Childhood have surely shifted since the
initiation of this course.
* I know
that I feel less intimidated when reviewing research material. I now approach
it with greater ease.
* My
ideas have changed in regards to how I view research. I view it less from a
theoretical perspective.
* When I
think about planning and designing and conducting research I still see it as a
process. It is a process that has to be conducted with a great deal of thought
and organization.
* The
challenges specifically for me throughout this course had to deal with my abilities
to understand vocabulary and the terms that I was not familiar with. The weekly
charts helped in respect to keeping up with and applying the new terminology.
*
Initially the formation of the research simulation hypothesis was a bit of a
challenge. But with the support and guidance from our varied professors, this
barrier became less of a challenge.
* My perceptions of
early childhood professionals have been slightly modified, since the inception
of the course. I see a new role for the early childhood professional, that is as a researcher.
Millie,
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed going through this process with you! You have given me a lot of great information and I appreciate that. I was also intimidated by research and the process, however, now I feel I have a better understanding of what I am reading. I believe this will help me in future courses. Good Luck to you! I hope we have another course together!
