I chose to research ways to promote healthy social emotional development in young children. I chose this topic for my simulation as this is one of key factors when looking at the social emotional development of a young child. Social emotional development is a personal interest to me as I am involved with this issue on a daily basis in my current position. In order for a child to be succesful, we need to be aware of their social-emotional needs and address them. As there are many factors when looking at the topic of social-emotional development, I feel forunate to have the opportunity to research and learn more on this topic.
When completing the simulation process, I found that narrowing my research to one chosen topic beneficial as it was easier to find more specific information. This allowed me to direct my research more specifically. I was able to understand how to use the literature review and how it can be very beneficial to research. This process helped me direct my reading and to find the imporant information from within the reseach report.
Completing the research chart was very beneficial as it guided me through the research process. As many of these terms and strategies are new to me, looking deeper and defining these terms gave me better understanding of research and how to conduct it. Many of the articles in the learning resources of this course have given me a wider range of strategies and ideas to help in my research process.
When looking at the topic on social emotional development, are there any resources or experiences you can share with me to give me a different perspective on this area?
