Research Journal Assignment #3
RJA #3a- Exploring Research Topic
There are many advantages and disadvantages to children going to preschool. One advantage of going to preschool is it teaches children how to interact with their peers as well as with their elders. It teaches children to share with others and listening skills. Teachers who have had kids that have not been in preschool have observed that children who have always stayed home with parents have social issues which tend to disrupt class. They have trouble paying attention, talk when they are not supposed to, and expect to be the center of attention because that is the way it is at home. http://www.preschoolerstoday.com/ One disadvantage of children going to preschool is it can be extremely costly. Also, there are so many children in the classroom that the children don't get the one-on-one attention they need to succeed. Children are more likely to get sick because illnesses can be spread around very often from child to child. Children also do not get to spend a lot of time with their parents because they are in school all day and then they come home eat supper, and go to bed. http://earlychildhood.suite101.com/
RJA #3b- Narrowing Research Topic-
My topic is should children go to preschool or should they stay at home with their parents until they start Kindergarten. This topic could be narrowed by becoming more familiar with the methods of preschoolers learning and the importance of either a teacher or a parent teaching them. Also learning the most important milestones in a childs early stages of development and focus on the most essential methods to teaching children.
RJA #3c- Developing Research Question-
1. Who should teach preschoolers, parents or teachers?, What are the best methods of teaching preschoolers?, When should children begin school?, Where do children learn the most efficiently?, How do children learn?, Why should children stay at home rather than going to preschool?, Should children go to preschool?, Would children learn more efficiently from staying at home with parents?
2. My goal in writing this paper is to learn more about my topic as well as share information on my topic with others, preferrably people with children. I am comparing and contrasting children going to preschool and staying home with their parents. I am trying to identify in my research what is in the best interst of the children, going to preschool or staying at home with parents.
3. I am specifically writing to parents of children of preschool age who are debating whether to put their child in preschool or stay at home with them. This issue goes across every parents mind at this stage in their childs life. My purpose in writing is to explore what is in the best interest of the child.
