Uplifiting Stories

The issue of ethics and research on children can cause people to think of research in a negative light. However, there can be positive effects  of research on children. I could not think of a personal story but I considered what we know about children today. This information had to come from someone's research. Take the medical field for example. We have seen positive benefits. We can learn about rare diseases, symptoms of diseases and how to prevent numerous illnesses in children.
An example, with regard to the early childhood field, we have learned that children learn through play. We also know the various types of play and what and how children learn from them.

In considering these factors, I can see that positive effects can come from research on children.

My Personal Research Journey

The topic that I chose for my course simulation is : The Effect of Changing Demographics and Diversity on the Early Childhood Field.

I chose this topic because I find it very interesting and I have had experience with issues regarding demographics in the early childhood field. I would like to find out more ways that it effects the E.C Field.

I am excited and nervous to tackle the research process as it is a lengthy one. It was difficult for me to narrow down to this topic because I have many questions that I could ask regarding this issue. I hope to be able to narrow it down further.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could accomplish this? Or should I just start by studying the literature and the topic will narrow itself?

Thanks!

I look forward to hearing from you! :)
