EDUC 6165-2

This blog will take on a new dimension as I investigate and share what happens in a variety of child development areas in the field. My understanding of child development, as well as yours, will expand and deepen as personal experiences are compared to what is discovered through understanding diversity and identity. Newly acquired knowledge with information about child development from learning about this issue will add so much to “flavor” my own prior knowledge, as do new spices in food. This journey this should be exciting!

Research



Personal Research Journey

Hello All,
I am plunging head first into our current course, Research Competencies – 6163-1.  I am excited about learning the difference in quality sites and articles with which to glean information from. I am still trying to figure out how to go about determining the style of research for a simulation I should attempt here. My choice for research interest is the issue of closing the achievement gap from those children in poverty to those that have access to quality care and exposure. I seek to improve the learning situations of those children who seem to fall through the grasp of the educational reach that is currently in place. I would be willing to try different approaches and be advocates for the families that are served.
Developing the research chart should be a great help in determining the simulation and style of research to perform.
The following are links that I have already explored on the subject with professionals that have shared information on the site.



Your comments and suggestions are invited and welcome indeed!

  1. Hi Sheila,
    Only by improving the quality of children’s lives can the poverty cycle be broken. What other better way to improve the lives of children than education. Access to good quality basic education can not only be intellectually stimulating but also build confidence and teach life skills which can guarantee a productive future. All the best as you research in the topic of closing the achievement gaps in children from poverty. Your research can help you one step closer to closing this gap.
