Journey through Research


This research class has been an insightful and interesting journey.  I can honest admit that I thought at the beginning of this course that I would end up drop the course.  Anything to do with research typically overwhelms me professionally.  However throughout this process that I have come to understand that my every day challenges, running childcare facilities takes research and different levels of study the majority of the time.  This class has enabled me to understand the research process more clearly, and apply it to my professional work.  I can better organize my thoughts and relay those thoughts and ideas to help others benefit from my work.  I am glad that through this process that I have a better understanding and new found respect for equality and equitability.  It is those two important factors in the research process that will lead fellow colleagues and professionals respect and value your work.  It also insures that the work and research being done has true unbiased representation and acknowledgements. 

I have a special thank you to all of my fellow classmates who struggled and challenged themselves through this course and I want to give a word of thank for your continued support.  Thank you to Dr. Davis for your encouragement and arrangement of assignments to make the last eight weeks manageable.

Happy Holidays to everyone!  I will see you in the New Year!

  1. Haley, I am glad that you have made it to the end of this course. I too thought this course was challenging. This course has forced me to stretch my thinking about research and child development. Dr. Davis was wonderful and provided invaluable feedback and insight. Happy holidays to you too.
