While this course has not changed my perception of an early childhood professional, it has been a true learning experience. Having very little experience in research, I had no understanding of the process involved in simply designing a research project. This course has provided me with a better understanding of the steps required in creating a research project, as well as an understanding of how to ensure research is unbiased and equitable, and how to ensure the validity. I think most influential thing learned is the responsibilities of the ethics committee and the difficult job they have balancing risk/benefit ratios and identifying ethical concerns. This is truly a job that I would not want to have.
I do not believe that I can identify one specific challenge encountered in this course, as the course in its entity was challenging. To ensure success throughout this course, I constantly evaluated and reevaluated my research simulation and constantly reviewed my understanding of the terms and ideas presented in the text, as well as relied on the support of my colleagues.
I would like to thank my classmates for their support. Your posts, responses, and questions served as additional learning tools and added in my understanding. Good luck in your future endeavors and see you in the next class!
