I am really struggling with choosing my topic. This class is
making me feel not so smart right now, but I will work through it. I am
struggling with this process. I am struggling more because I have to look up
how to do things repeatedly. Although I know this is a learning process, I am
getting a bit frustrated, but I will prevail!
After much tears and aggravation, I narrowed my subtopics by
webbing. Who would have known that this literature activity would assist me in
my defining my subtopic for research? I .have decided to “research”, Techniques
to Modifying aggressive behavior in children, I chose this topic because
throughout the past few years that has been the number one behavior that
parents within my program have asked for assistance with. Some aggressive behaviors are developmentally
appropriate and some are not; however, if aggressive behavior is not modified it
could become habitual and harder to modify. I am excited to continue to learn about this
subtopic to benefit my families and myself.
I have found that this process has been a challenge! If you
have any suggestions, please let me know.
Hang In there Jocelyn. There definitely is a lot of information. Diana
ReplyDeleteBe encouraged, I'm sure you are not the only one struggling at this point in time. Selecting a topic then sup-topics can be very challenging. Soon enough you'll find the topic and be able to flow in your research throughout these 8 weeks.
ReplyDeleteI too had a difficult time choosing a topic. There is so much I want to learn about the early childhood field that made it that much more difficult to narrow it down to only one. Like all of the topics I have been seeing your topic looks very interesting. I am eager to follow you throughout this course to learn more about strategies to use while working with children with aggressive behavior. Hang in there, your doing great!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhew, nice to hear others are struggling! Research is not new to me, but at this level it feels overwhelming. I always have a problem with getting bored with my topic. It is good that you chose something that is practical to your current job. This will keep you motivated! Try out this article: Executive Functions in Preschool Children with Aggressive
