My Personal Research Journey (extension granted)

The topic I chose to focus on is research in the early childhood field. Seeing as though I am taking a research class, I am open to learning everything I need to know in order to conduct research within this field. I have done research before but not much within this field so I am looking forward to doing some. I have learned a lot thus far, especially about the quality of research. I believe that is something that we all should learn about so we will know what to look for while doing research. I have learned how to analyze research articles and where to find information. Now that I have this knowledge, I know my research experiences are going to be good and informative. I read about the girl name "Genie" in our textbook who was isolated in her family's home for years. Of course researchers wanted to investigate and do research on her to see how she was effected by this. However, it is believe that the research that took place may have cause more harm that good on her behelf. With that being said, I want to make sure that I conduct research that will benefit children, period. I do not want my research to cause any harm on our children in anyway. And that is why I chose this topic for the simulation. Colleagues, feel free to give feedback. I am open to all suggestions at this point. Looking forward to learning more with you all!
