Now as we come to the end of our journey together, I want to take the time to say first thank-you to you Dr. Dartt, and to you all my fellow colleagues. I really feel that I have learned a lot from all of you, as well as gained some important insights, both professionally and personally. And with these new insights and information I have gained, that I will now take with me as I continue on with my goal and pursuit of completing my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Studies. Thank-you!
I think the most important insight I have gained in regards to research by completing this course, is the importance of planning and development at the beginning of your research. I never realized just how much planning and development goes into the start of any research study. It also gave me a new appreciation for the study of research and development, especially in regards to the field of early childhood studies. And that is because without this field of research and development, and the professionals who dedicate their life to it, I don't think we would have made the progress we have in this field of early childhood studies.
With any type of research or study comes the chance or potential risks and challenges of ethical obstacles or issues. And in my experience with my own research study, I did face some difficulties when first beginning the study, such as choosing a topic and then finally deciding on what type of method of design to choose for the research. But I think what helped me the most in facing these challenges were the readings and examples in the book, as well as the weekly application assignments. Through these examples and assignments I was able to get a better understanding to help me decide on a topic that was close to my heart, as well as choose the type of method of my design for my research study to help me with my topic of children, and their experiences and understandings with the subject of death.
In the end I can honestly say that my perception of an early childhood professional has definitely been modified as the result of this class, and that is because now I not only have a greater understanding of the world of research, I also can see just how vital and necessary it is to our field of early childhood studies.
