Evidence based practice is the topics that I decided to look
further into, when it comes to the field of early childhood. As a current
teacher in the field I like to explore different practices that are put into
effect to aid children. One reason I like this topic is because it a topic that
has two sides. Evidence based practice can have an impact on children health,
the community, and on the field as a whole. I have never heard of this practice
until the last course that I took last semester that had a reading assignment
on the topic. I learned from the article, but I want to look further into the
topic, and I couldn’t think of a better topic to focus on.
My personal experience with the simulation process has been a
learning experience. I was clueless about what to look for when it comes to
locating good and reliable research articles. Conducting the research chart provided
me the information that I needed to know. For example, I now have clues on what
to keep an eye out for when conducting research, like author’s info and writing
style. One of my biggest issues was making sure the research wasn’t bias.
The internet is my best friend. I used Google when conducting
research, but I just look for research articles that meet the criteria’s. Since
I started at Walden I have been utilizing their research database to locate the
articles. It has a ton of information and breaks them up into different criteria’s
so that I could narrow my search. If anyone has any resources that can aid when
it comes to this topic, please feel free to let me know.
Kelisha,
ReplyDeleteI agree the whole research experience has been a learning process. I have started to learn how to navigate my way around the Walden library and it does have a ton of information. I will be interested to see where your research in evidence based practice takes you.

I enjoy doing research, primarily because I have to for my job. However, I agree that I wasn't really aware of the many guidelines to look for when establishing credible research. I look forward to reading about your discoveries on evidence based practice. It will be great to learn from one another.
ReplyDeleteKelisha,
ReplyDeleteI noticed that we share the same insights about the research process over the past week. Learning how to read research articles has saved me so much time. I use the walden library datbase often as well. I also find google scholar to be useful in finding quality articles. I am not very knowledgeable about your topic so I hope to learn more about it through your blog posts.
