I have been struggling to find a topic that is feasible. I started out wanting to research more about parents perspectives and "Quality" of care. I had a hard time finding articles on that topic so I thought I would do my research on either attachment or social/emotional issues. After finding articles on those I realized that I may have a hard time researching and testing a hypothesis so I switched my focus to the affects of maternal employment on childrens development. During that research I finally came across some articles on problems and perspectives on child care.
Here are the questions that I would like to find answers to:
1. What do parents value in a child care setting and why?
2. Where do most parents feel they will find the best quality of care; home or center?
3. How do Early Childhood professionals go about educating parents about what is Developmentally Appropriate for children?
Identifying and defining research terms on the research chart has helped me to learn more about the process by understanding and knowing the meaning of the terms. You cannot follow a map if you do not know what the symbals stand for.
If anyone has any advice for me I would appreciate it. I have only written one research paper before and I had some of the same struggles. Once I come up with a good topic I know it will be easier. I just hope I can find enough articles on this topic to make it work. I really feel as though this topic fits into my current job because these are some of the questions I wonder about on a daily basis and would like to have answered.
