Beau Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum aan. I have put this into it's own topic where you may get more replies.
wellerkaren Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 your uni should have a porthole to get to the libray if not athans have a web site sorry but i do not know the link i hope this helps, if not ask the libray staff at your uni, in my experence they are really good at finding things for you. good luck in your course and welcome to the forum if i have not welcomed you yet
wellerkaren Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 sorry just read your post again when i started my foundation degree they recomended reading EYE ( early years educator) and any weekly monthly mags like nursery world and child education
Guest Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 hiya aan I am also 3 weeks into the degree and today asked a good friend for advice on swot analysis. thats my homework. she gave me a brilliant website, when you go onto the site there is a search box and just put in research methods and lots of pages will come up for you . the web address is http://del.icio.us/janemullen. hope this helps I got lots of useful examples today for swot.
aan Posted October 5, 2008 Author Posted October 5, 2008 thanks for the replies, i have now got my password for the uni library so can access athens. we have been told that we cannot use the educational mags like EYE nursery world it will lose us marks. Thanks Marys for the web site am going to have a peek now.
Guest Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Did they say why you can't use EYE and Nursery World? I used both and newspaper articles (which I feel highlighted how current my topic was), providing I used recent publications of course. My college were hot on using recent and new ideas as well as backing it up with well established theories.
wellerkaren Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 wonder why my uni has said you can use EYE and not other
HappyMaz Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 thanks for the replies, i have now got my password for the uni library so can access athens. we have been told that we cannot use the educational mags like EYE nursery world it will lose us marks. Thanks Marys for the web site am going to have a peek now. Don't give up on EYE though, aan - they are very good at giving you the references for the publications they refer to. Really good for going to the primary source! Maz
Guest Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 BIDS ISI Data service provides bibliographic data and full text services for higher education and research. Ask ERIC provides abstracts and rull text documents related to education and has specialist early childhood collection. This is taken form Doing early childhood research (MacNaughton, Rolfe & Siraj-Blatchford 2001)
aan Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 thanks wendles will give it a go. we was told not to use EYE etc as they were not reliable enough. i think they change the goal posts to suit themselves! feeling very dispondant, have been doing my job for 20 years and i'm sure knowing the difference between Qualitative and quantitative is not going to make a difference. anyway moan over back to the books !
