My Personal Research Journey



It is evident that building research is very systematic, yet very complex in regards to understanding how the various research terms aid in the development of building research in general. During the construction of my research chart, I have gained a deeper understanding and appreciation the terms and literature surrounding the field of research. The process of reviewing resources for quality and creditability has been very enlightening and has allowed me to more confident in my attempts to research my topic, (how singing assist Pre-K students with special needs in regards to encouraging developmentally appropriate interactions with their peers).   

Furthermore, both Beck, (2009) and the New York Library Association, (2010) reveal secure evaluation approaches of on-line resources. Being able to have access to such quality measuring devices has only enhanced my knowledge and professional research building skills.In my opinion the following are a few databases/search engines are great for retrieving quality research: Walden University Library, Google Scholar, NAEYC, Educational Resource Information Center, (ERIC), Zero to Three, and Pre-K Now and National Center for Children in Poverty, (NCCAP), and National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities etc.
