Research is conducted every day in the science and medical fields. The most important research, in my opinion, is the research that helps create cures to diseases and medicines that help people live quality lives.
One thing that I find to be a very interesting topic, is the increasing diagnosis of children with autism. The number of children with autism continues to go up every year and there is still no known cause. If I could conduct research that would benefit children, I would choose to conduct research to find first the cause of autism. I think if we can find out what causes autism, then we can reduce the number of children diagnosed with this condition. After finding out the cause(s) of autism, I would then work to try to find a cure for it. Autism is such a complex condition, since it is a spectrum, children can vary from very high functioning to very low functioning. I think it would really benefit children, families, and the world if we could find out why this is occurring, how to prevent it, and ideally, how to cure it.

My Personal Research Journey
With a new year comes a new class, and in this case, a new research topic! My broad topic idea for this research simulation is to see how early childhood education benefits children overall. After thinking about this topic, and what more I would like to learn about this, I broke my topic down into three subtopics. They are:
1. To see how early childhood education benefits children's verbal skills
2. The influence that early childhood education has on children's empathy, manners, and overall social skills
3. The influence of technology in the preschool classroom - the pros and the cons
My task now, is to choose one of the subtopics to focus on for the remainder of this course. Each of these topics interests me, so this is the hardest part for me so far. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on these subtopics. Which one do you think will benefit families and the ECE field the most and why?
As always, I appreciate your thoughts and look forward to us all helping each other out these next 8 weeks!
