WHEN I THINK OF RESEARCHING…
There were 2 insights I gain from
taking this course on “Building Research Competency”. The first one was some
research may not have a hypothesis were as in some criteria you may to input
the hypothesis, and secondly, one must be collect data and analysis it without
being bias. My insights have truly changed since the beginning of the course
reason being, I thought the class was about writing research paper for the
entire 8 weeks but, I learn the proper steps in putting a “Research” together.
The only thing which, I found sort of difficult was picking out a
journal to fit my topic, and as the process of building on my topic it became
easier to me. The challenges that I encountered was putting questions together
and realizes it doesn’t have to take 10 questions to make the research, and
narrowing down my topic due to it was too broad. My perception of an early
childhood professional have been modified because, now I’ve learned research
does take a lot of effort when conducting research to help children grow and
develop.
I’ve been out of touch due to chronic
illness, and I would like to use this time to, thank my colleagues and Dr. Parrish
for working diligently with me. I hope we all may have a chance to meet up
again in another course. I wish each of you much success as we continue on our
journey at Walden University.
Lawana,
ReplyDeleteI am happy that you are doing well and successfully made it to the end of the course still able to complete it instead of withdrawing from it. I believe also that research is a process and it takes steps and time to put it together. When I first entered this course, I assumed that all we would do a research paper and that was it, but I learned it is more than just writing a paper, but planning out your research and the process.
Good luck with your studies as well and with your health. I know it is hard to focus on school when you are ill. I also struggled with narrowing my terms and questions down to represent exactly what I wanted to know. Building the research simulation was an interesting process to go through. It helped me really intentionally focus on what I wanted to know.
