My personal Research Journey



     The topic that I chose for the simulation is how social emotional development in young children that may have been abused and how these factors may effect a child's behavior at school. I choose this research topic because I find it extremely interesting. I work with head start children. many of these children come from backgrounds that may not necessarily be ideal. As an educator I would like to find out some of the behaviors that are exhibited by children when they are abused and neglected. I think that information in a simulation will be very helpful for teachers so that they may identify some of the targeted behaviors and how to address them on a social emotional level.

      According to the Child Welfare League of America, in Maryland alone, "In 2015, there were 6,790 victims of abuse or neglect in Maryland, a rate of 5.0 per 1,000 children, a a decrease 25.5% from 2014. Of these children, 59.7% were neglected, 22.7% were physically abused, and 23.8% were sexually abused."

      I personally believe that even if one child is abused or neglected that it is travesty. So we as educators need to be prepared to receive these children and be ready and able to detect the signs and improve upon how we can assist these children and the behaviors that may come about if a child subjected to abuse or neglect.

My Family Culture

     The three items that I would choose to take with me would be my mom's ring, a medium sized knife, and a pocket bible.I would say that I would take the ring because my Mom passed away a few years ago and I would take the ring to keep her close to me. I would take my father's medium sized knife, because a knife is always useful. You can use it for cutting things, hunting things,making things or for protection. Lastly, I would bring a small christian bible.       If I would told that I could only keep one item, I would be disappointed, but I would keep the bible. I would keep the bible because based on my previous life experiences, my faith and my family's faith in God has gotten us through tough times and has guided my family with decision making. An insight that I gained about myself when doing this assignment, was that I believe in and rely on my faith more than I had originally thought. In my opinion, this was a good thing, because I feel lik...

Reserach Around The World

The website that I choose to review was http://www.ecdvu.org/ssa/index.php. This website was related to offering educational resources in Sub-Saharan Africa. The resource is basically a virtual school /university that caters to those who would like to pursue the field of early childhood education. This website is a valuable resource because it provides an opportunity for those who may not normally have chance to a quality higher education get educated and serve their country. The website offers courses in professional leadership, child development, and the principles and practises of early childhood education. There is also a news letter on the website that showcases some of the happenings that are taking place with the students of ECDVU. This website is extremely valuable and useful to promote learning for educators and their future students.
