Research Journal Assignment #9

RJA #9-Evaluation of Sources



I believe the book "Systematic Impact of Universal Pre-Kindergarten", which I found on the Auraria Library website is credible because it was published by Early education and development and its database is in the U.S. Department of Education. Also, the author participated in a discussion with ECE program directors before the book was published. The reference article "Enter Early or Hold Out: The Kindergarten Dilemma", www.earlychildhoodnews.com is credible because the author Sandra Crosser has a Ph.D and used research studies to convince the article is correct. The periodical "Ready, Set, Go"(EBSCO) is credible because the author of the article is the coordinator of early childhood services at a county library. The periodical article "Early Learning more Accepted"(EBSCO) is credible because the author is a Chief officer for early childhood education in Chicago Public Schools. Therefore, they have lots of experience and knowledge in early childhood education. The website www.bing.com where I found the article "Costs, Benefits, and Long-Term Effects of Early Care and Education Programs" is credible because the author is the director of the National Institute for Early education research. I searched for early childhood education on www.ask.com and it took me to the Department of Education website which is definitely credible for my research on early childhood education.
