When I first started this course I have to admit I was a little scared!  It seems very intimidating to me.  I took it assignment by assignment and learned a lot about different types of research and appropriate situations to use types of research.  Finding sources that are valid is an important part of research.  Sources should be provided with information about the author and where the source came from. 

                I have also learned to be open minded and non- judgmental when conducting research with children.  Data triangulation is a method that I would use because it offers the use of different types of data collection.  I have always felt that the more information that is gained, the better the over all findings will be.  There are so many different ways of conducting research.  I have learned what types of research are appropriate for what kinds of simulations.
