The purpose of my
research is to learn/become more knowledgeable of the role teachers, and
parents/guardians play with assisting their child (ren) with developing and
improving cognitive skills. I chose this topic because I have a great
interest in younger children and how they learn and adapt cognitively in
various settings. I have been working in
the early childcare arena for 10 years.
I have seen and experienced many children progress and improve their
cognitive development, but has always been curious about what influences them
both positive and negative. Two weeks
ago one of my colleagues and I were communicating and discussing how do
children learn. She made the comment
that young children learn at home only if the parent(s)/guardian(s) allot time
for involvement and engagement. I agree
to a certain extent but I also thought that children learn from their
surroundings (older siblings, cousins, family members, neighbors etc.) So I am a little confused on how to word the
purpose. I am always open for insight
and suggestions on how to improve my research as well as assistance with this
course.
This week’s research
chart has provided me with an explanation of how to design, conduct and complete
a research from beginning to end. Even
though it seems very time consuming I think I would benefit from it in the long
run, and hopeful add on to the early childhood education resources for those to
utilize. I too am fairly new with
researching, but I am willing to assist anyone that I can. Please don’t
hesitate to ask, if I don’t know I will try and find the answer for you. Good Luck to you all during the process! Remember to maintain a positive attitude no
matter what, and to expect the unexpected!
I believe you all will have great researches!
