I have learned
so much the past two weeks about the research process. I know it will be a
bumpy ride before I master the research process. However with the help of my
professor and my colleagues I will become proficient in how to conduct a
research. This week I learned how to simulate research and scan research
documents for important information for research report because research is all
about collecting information from other researchers as well as conducting
experiments for confirmation on the topic in question. It was a great experience for me because I did
not think I will ever have the opportunity to learn how to conduct a research
and now I can hope someday I will publish my own article as part of my
contribution to this field.
I choose to
research children brain development because I work with children from six weeks
to middle school and I found each one is different as far as their thinking as
well as their learning ability. This Subtopic: Children Their Emotional Process
is one of my subtopic that I will research for this week’s assignment. In fact
I will needs my colleagues helps during my search for more in-depth information
for my writing research report and at the end of the research for results on
what make children think differently and when does it change to the adult thinking
phase. So far I learned the principles for high-quality research such as
ethical, purposeful, imaginative, and so forth. Another insight that I gain is
the steps on how to write a research report. Overall I feel like I am getting somewhere
with my research learning techniques.
I am looking
forward to working with my colleagues as a team for success; therefore I am
asking if any of my colleagues have any advice for me or any insight that may
help me with my research process. I do not have any additional website that I
can share but I have used these three websites for more information about
children healthy development and they are www.naeyc.org, www.zerotothree.org, and www.unesco.org. If any of my
colleagues can share their sources with me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Sophia,
ReplyDeleteI appreciated hearing your insight so far in this course and on our research journey. I agree that it will be exciting to know this process, and I like your goal to someday publish an article!
I have added your links to my desktop. If you go to my blog at: http://michellekaygardner.edublogs.org/2013/07/12/my-personal-research-journey/
it will show you some of the research areas I have located.
Good luck on this journey!
Sophia,
ReplyDeleteYou have chosen a great area to research on, I look forward to learning more from you and your research development over the next few weeks. I also use those additional websites as well, and Walden of course. I look forward to your work being published,mine as well!
Sophia,
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I think mastering the art of doing research is going to take time for everybody. It can really get meticulous when you think about how precise and thorough you sometimes have to be. The part about collecting research from other researchers intrigues me because I love to hear others' opinions and proven facts about things. Their findings are sometimes amazing. Your topic of Brain development is very interesting. Healthy cognitive growth is very important and determines a lot when you look down the road at a child's future.
