Insights on Research

The biggest insight I gained in taking this course is that the world of education can be very scientific indeed.  Most people think that early childhood education is having snack time, and putting children down for naps.  Not so!  It can be technical, scientific, and make huge differences in the world of research.  That has been the biggest way my thinking has been modified from this course. 

The critical scientific thinking was the biggest challenge for me in this course.  It was a huge shift in thinking for me, and one I am not sure I successfully made.  This course will help me with behavioral analysis within my classroom in the future.  This course will help by enabling me to critically look at problems and to develop scientific ways to solve them through studies. 

I am excited to apply my new found knowledge to my classroom.  This course will continue to benefit me for years to come.

  1. Jennifer,

    This course helped me develop a stronger sense of critical thinking as well. It was definitely a challenge for me too. However, the lessons learned will be a huge benefit in the future. Best wishes to you as you continue the journey.

  2. This class was really difficult for me in critical thinking as well. I was used to classes that all we do is research. This class made me use my entire brain. Hope to see you again down the road.
