Guest Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hello all you lovely people :rolleyes:, I am currently undertaking the 'integrated working with children and Families BA {Hons} Top Up Degree. I have been asked to produce a 500 word count formative assessment about 'the role of research on my professional development' this must be reflective and include views on the benefits of research, possible barriers, and ways of improving the quality of practice.... If anyone has done anything similar or could point me in some direction of websites/books etc, I would be very grateful! Thank you for taking the time to read this post :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlettangel Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I would suggest having a read of any of the early childhood research books to give you a flavour of the information out there, or google it!! Some books I have are THE GOOD RESEARCH GUIDE by MARTIN DENSCOMBE EARLY CHILDHOOD STUDIES by PARKER -REES ET AL DOING EARLY CHILDHOOD RESEARCH by MAC NAUGHTON ET AL DOING YOUR EARLY YEARS RESEARCH PROJECT by GUY ROBERTS-HOLMES I would have thought some of these books would be available online at your uni's library! Good luck! Edited October 4, 2013 by Scarlettangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I think you will be struggling to get all that into 500 words, that's not a lot to play with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hi Melissa, I've merged your two topics together. It becomes quite confusing if there are 2 or more identical topics going at the same time. :1b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Exactly Cait! So need to stop waffling and get straight to the point....lol Thanx Beau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Well, I think ive managed it! Im just worried I havnt actually answered the question :-( Ive basically mentioned my job role and training courses...the Early years foundation degree highlighted the important relationship between research and practice and the importance of becoming a reflective practitioner. .......I also mentioned about creativity for childrens learning and development and creating opportunities for children to experience creativity, linking to children's ways of being and dispositions. ..... What do people think??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
