The research topic that I have chosen for the current course I am in is:
The effectiveness of hands on professional development for educators and how it positively affects children's classroom experience and development.
The subtopics I decided to use for this topic are:
- Teacher- Child Relationships
- Quality & Effectiveness of hands on professional development training
- Creating a positive classroom experience
*I had some trouble finding sub-topics for this research topic, if anyone has any advice on my third subtopic I am having second thoughts about it*
I chose this research topic because as an early childhood educator I believe that hands on training and experience are vital to a successful classroom environment. In my community it is difficult to get face to face professional development training (most training is online) and without that I fear that educators are not getting the best professional development training to become a better educator for our children. I also believe that hands on training is more effective than online training or simple power point or pamphlet training. As my beliefs are that hands on training is more effective I would like to research this topic and see if hands on training has a positive affect on a child's classroom experience and development.
If anyone has any resources that may be helpful, I would greatly appreciate the help.
