When I think of
research… I think of it as a journey of discovery, inspiration, and a need for
medical science. How research is a
project of not knowing the true facts.
What I have gain
from these eight weeks were challenging for me to keep up with all the
techniques of research. Trying to
understand the research process from the textbook was too fast and furious for
the eight weeks course. This course
should have been taking during the second summer session.
My ideas about the
nature of doing research never became an issue however, what it did become was
an issue of understanding the techniques, and the concept of it all.
There were many challenges
for me, trying to work, understanding the textbook, and time management, and
made this my least favor course.
Time management,
one of the biggest challenges I encountered made it difficult to really sit
down to bring it all together.
One of my
professional/personal’s perspectives, I have learned, from a research project knows
how important it is to the early childhood field, and not just to the medical
field.
Tamarah,
ReplyDeleteI too had difficulty keeping up with the text readings as well. But I feel I do have a better understanding of research through our assignments and don't feel as scared when having to read a research article now. I also feel that research is critical in our field because that is how we found out how children learn, how to modify behaviors, and what affects children's learning. Now, I know that 3 months from now, a lot of this I will have forgotten. (my short term memory is a mess!) But I feel that what I have gotten out of this course is how important it is to our field, how much work research entails in the design and process of it, as well as keeping the ensuring the validity and equity in the study. We are one step closer to our degree! Thanks for your collaboration throughout this course!
