FINAL BLOG ASSIGNMENT
What insights have you gained
about research from taking this course?
I have gain an insight on equity.
Equity lets you focus on the research and treat the participants with
fairness and no favoritism is shown when conducting research. Everyone is treated equally and fair.
In what ways have your ideas
about the nature of doing research changed? My ways of conducting research has
changed because I now know the steps to take with conducting my research such having
theories for your study, questions, know what
type of method I will use, have a hypothesis, focus on the independent and
dependent variables and choose who will participate in my study.
What lessons about planning,
designing, and conducting research in early childhood did you learn? I have
learned that by
using Quasi-experimental designs you may not be able to use random
participants. One will have to use a
group of participants when conducting a study.
This design is important to research in early childhood
development. If a researcher chose to
use this design, he or she can use multiple and single groups when conducting
their studies. When using the
quasi-experimental design one have a better chance in assessing cause and
effect on the study at hand.
What were some of the
challenges you encountered—and in what ways did you meet them?
There were no challenges for me.
What are some of the ways your
perceptions of an early childhood professional have been modified as a result
of this course? My perception as an
early childhood professional has changed from this course because when I
develop a problem or concern in my class I will know how to conduct a study on
the issue and to come up with solutions to help with the problem in the class.
To my fellow colleagues I wish you
the best as you further your education in the early childhood education
field. It has been a pleasure of getting
to know each other and supporting each other throughout this course. May God continue to bless each of you.
