The subtopic that I chose to use
for my research simulation is the potential difference of full-day programs,
half-day programs, and no programs in early education and how it impacts
kindergarten success. I chose this subtopic as I am a kindergarten teacher who
has students entering kindergarten with all three types of early education. I
see differences between these students in social areas mainly but am curious
about their success throughout their kindergarten year as opposed to just the
beginning of the year assessments.
The
simulation process so far has been a bit intimidating as I have never had to
conduct any research (I know we are not conducting research with this but that
also means I have not had to choose a topic either). While I have started my
search for journal articles that are related to this subtopic, I have not begun
to actually write my literature review at this point (sleep-deprived mom right
here of a newborn and teething 15-month old). I am hoping that once I get
started with the literature review that it will become easier to write than I
am currently anticipating.
Completing the
research chart for this week has given me more knowledge on a few key terms in
the course reading as well as gave me another resource to use in the website,
The Campbell Collaboration (http://www.campbellcollaboration.org).
I was able to use the research chart to study literature reviews and learn how
they are used and completed.
Colleagues,
what words would you try to use when searching for journals or resources for my
subtopic above? I want to make sure that I am finding the most relevant
resources so perhaps you can help me find the right combination of vocabulary
for my search! Thank you in advance!
