When I Think of Research

From this course, I have gained knowledge  oh how important research is in early childhood education.  Research helps educators build their knowledge of Early Childhood's teaching and learning.  My ideas about research since taking this course has lead me to understand that the research process takes a lot of time, patient, and commitment.  I've learned from this course that their are several designs to choose from. as well as, how to collect data, and how important accuracy is in research.

This course was one of the most difficult course I have taken in a very long time.  Some of the things that made this course challenge for me, is developing a research question that was not too board or too narrow, and stating the hypothesis.  I am still not very certain on either one of the two.  Although, I did learn some things about research, such as, the different types of designs, variables, and how to collect data for a research.

As we all finish up this week's assignment, I would like to take the time to wish each and everyone Good Luck in your future educational journey, as well as, your every day life.
