Research Report Investigation Assignment

Module 01 Assignment – Research Report Investigation and Summary

In this module, you have been introduced to a variety of Early Childhood Education research. There is often new research available, and it is important for professionals in the field to stay up to date with new information.

It may seem difficult to find time to identify and read research, but many sources make it easier for early childhood professionals to access and use. One way to stay current with relevant research findings is to identify quality sources of information that make recent research available. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Website is one organization that makes this type of information available.

NAEYC’s Website regularly features research, reports, and articles on important topics.

For this assignment:

1. 1. Read through at least six of the research topics that are of interest to you from https://www.naeyc.org/resources/topics
   2. Using proper grammar and correct spelling, write a 2-3 page paper:

   4. Compare and contrast research methods and findings.
   5. Include an APA formatted reference page listing all of the reports and articles included in your paper.

Feedback for student

Thank you for your submission. Please make sure to review directions before submission. While you were looking at topics, you needed 4 specific articles one for each topic. You also needed to put in APA format. Finally, you needed to compare the types of research each article employed. I have made some comments. The biggest thing is that you still don’t have a comparison paragraph on the types of research each of these articles presented.
