Ladies and gentlemen this is hard! The topic that I chose is positive support in the classroom. I chose this topic because I feel that I currently work in a position where everyone is against what we (our program) does. Everyone around us questions why we do what we do, and does not say anything positive about it. They just kind of roll their eyes and walk away. These instances set me up for the rest of the day! If I come into the classroom with a negative attitude my students are going to feel it, and it can change their attitude as well. So, I am looking for research about the benefits of positive support in the classroom.
I feel that I am going to have a difficult time with this class. I have the tendency to get excited about a topic, and while research it I will find another topic that intrigues me more, so I start researching that one and end up with no information for my assignment. So I am hoping that with my current topic being short, sweet, and to the point, that I hopefully will not get as deterred as I could be. Does anyone else have this issue? If anyone has some pointers on where to begin or articles that they found useful, please let me know.
Lets master this research class!!
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteYou know I have always love reading your post cause you keep it 100%. In reference to your question NO you are not the only one that has this issue. My topic is standardize learning but I keep researching elimination of play articles...LOL!!! I feel that we both just need to stick to what we want others to know about our topic. In the process we will find topics that will interest us but I say don't disregard them because it maybe a person who needs a topic and we can share what we find with them. In looking for research I started with the Walden Library because Google search will have you all over the place. I felt starting with Walden could condense my topic and give specific findings on the exact words I'm looking for. Not that much of a success but hey it may work for you!!!
