When I think of research...

I have never really been into research. I have always looked at it as too complicated and had no interest in doing it. This course allowed me to see that research is not a difficult process. While it may take some time to complete it can be fun. I think the fact that we were able to break down all the components of research really helped me change my feelings on research. Breaking down the different components of our projects during this course offered a great way to plan for research. With these tables we did weekly to help build our research, I found myself looking at my research several different ways. One insight that I really took away from the course is that children have the right to chose if they want to participate in research or not. I think that was major for me because I never really thought about asking the children. I figured if we had consent from parent we were doing okay. But this is not the case at all. Children have rights too. I didn’t really run into any challenges with the course or the research. As a result of this course I think I have a better understanding of research in the early childhood field. In my research I had a chance to see some great teachers work in some difficult situations and I really respect their classroom management, especially with a visitor in the room. 

I would like to thank my classmates for their insight during this class. Thank you for stopping by my blog and offering your comments. Good luck in all of your future endeavors.
