When I Think of Research...

-

    My research simulation is about the positive impact of child-centered education approaches applied in early childhood education on children's social, emotional, mental, language, and cognitive development. This is important in the early childhood education field, as many schools use a child-centered curriculum. Most parents also prefer this kind of education.

    I think that a quality, well-prepared early childhood education has a strong effect on children's development and learning. I can see in my literature reviews that there are severe studies on this subject. Many international studies reveal that child-centered early childhood education and care are beneficial for developing language, reading, mathematics, and socio-emotional skills that form the basis for later school success. These data indicate that practices that will support children's development and learning are directly related to qualified early childhood education. 

    Everyone interested in education (children, families, educators, policymakers, and early childhood education administrators) will have access to information that will benefit if I can make and implement my simulation proposal. With concrete evidence of my hypothesis, it can make a difference in the way we run our education system. 

    During this course, my perspective on an early childhood educator has changed drastically. Because I thought of myself as an educator, but on the contrary, we are not only an educator but also a researcher. We research teaching method techniques and conduct various research to improve our presentation, course, and even professional development. It is very grateful to develop new strategies to ensure that children receive the best possible education.

    Hi Behice,

    I believe that a high quality early childhood education is very beneficial as well and one of my thoughts have been is what if the laws change where all providers especially those who accept child care assistance have to be a high quality center that is either on a star level program or accredited program. I believe that could be a start.

    I really enjoyed reading you post! Best wishes on your next course!

    Behice,

    The center where I work is switching to the child-center education approach. I see it being done differently in each class. I think the teachers should have received training on this before having to do it in class. The benefits of this approach is amazing and beneficial for children.

    Also you are much more than just and educator and research. The role of an educator expands across many domains.

Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field

-
    Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field   Faster than we ever thought: the first years of a child’s life set the stage for all future growth. In the earliest years of life, especially from pregnancy to age three, babies need nutrition, protection, and stimulation for healthy brain development. Recent advances in neuroscience provide new evidence about a baby’s brain development during this time. As a result, we know that in their earliest years, babies’ brains form new connections at an astounding rate – according to Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child, more than 1 million every single second – a pace never repeated again (UNICEF, 2017).  POVERTY is one of the biggest problems disturbing the education system of the countries. When families live in poverty, it becomes impossible for the next generations of that family to get out of this situation. With early childhood education, young ages from low-income families get a q...

Nonviolent Communication and Conflict Management

-
  O'Hair and Wiemann (2012) say conflict is "inevitable" (p. 220). Conflicts are something that happens in every communication, sometimes easily overcome or sometimes not resolved. The less fight in human life, the more peaceful it will be. Of course, it is almost impossible to avoid this. A conflict I have encountered recently may have some communication problems in my family with my teenage son. My 14-year-old son's school offers them virtual or in-person education. My son wants to participate in virtual learning activities from home some days. Some days, under our forcing, he goes to school and gets training face to face. We support him in getting an education by going to school so he can socialize at school. He has recently been volunteering to participate in virtual education because he can play online games during training breaks (lunch, physical education, recess). He cannot manage his time at all when he played computer games. I tried to explain this situa...

Expanding Horizons and Expanding Resources

I am not a good podcast listener, I have listened to English podcast when I was learning English, but I hope to turn my routine into habits with this lesson. In my researches, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-early-childhood-research-podcast/id1039178520 apple's podcasts caught my attention, and I found works on a wide range of topics in early childhood. The website that I decided to look at is the NAEYC website. I chose this website to have general knowledge about my field, to access information quickly, and to keep the developing resources under control. For this, we must continuously check. This website gives us a lot of awareness for our career and why we do our job. Also, this website provides us with positivity and encouragement during all trial periods we encounter every day.
