Research the Benefits Children & Families


Imagine that you possess the means and the knowledge to conduct research studies about any topic in the early childhood field. Imagine further that you are not restricted by the reality of the present. Imagine that your study will make a major positive contribution to the well-being of children and/or their families. What topic would you choose? What can you imagine the positive contribution(s) would be?

Technically this does not apply since it does not directly involve children, but I couldn’t think of anything else:  My concentration for this program is “Teaching Adults”.  Ultimately, I would like to teach young adults about the early childhood field and how to work with children effectively.  For this reason, if I would choose to research how adults learn.  I’m assuming that children and adults learn differently like most things that change with age.

  1. I think it does involve children! If the adults that are responsible for teaching children don't have the competency to know how and what to teach children then the child will not benefit.
