Research is not so far
away from ordinary life. People starts to investigate the world from born.
Research could be a small issue or a big social problem in early
childhood. Before I started the course, I thought research is like Himalaya
mountain for me, I really don't think I could get through the course. But with
the study going on, with the tasks finished, Professor Todd's instruction
and comment, and the colleagues's discussion and help, I survived.
Research plan and
design is very important before implementing the research. And during
the research, the ethic issue must be taken care of before any research. I
did meet a lot of challenges during the study. I am not familiar with the early
childhood field, I have no idea about research and the terminologies are
unfamiliar to me. Well, everything is new to me in early childhood research. I
did take some time to read some Chinese version research books, and compare
them with the English textbook.
An early childhood
expert takes care of the daily work and also need to synthesis the
scientific experience, and most importantly, through their
"action research", the experts can share their knowledge and
findings with the society especially anyone who have something to do with
the children. All for the children!
