Scientific Research methodology can be of value to Educators

Why knowledge of scientific research methodology can be of value to Educators?

That can be valuable to researchers because it's on the finals and researchers who don't pass their finals won't get good funding. just kidding OK the researchers do research only by using the scientific method this is sort of a silly question. It can help them to judge how reliable other people's research findings are and help them to be more thorough and accurate when researching themselves. 

Scientific studies do not contribute to a larger body of knowledge until they are widely disseminated and subjected to professional scrutiny by peers. This ongoing, collaborative, public critique is an indication of the health of a scientific enterprise. Indeed, the objectivity of science derives from publicly enforced norms of the professional community of scientists, rather than from the character traits of any individual person or design features of any study.

It promotes research that sees children as active agents in their own lives, not passive victims or research ‘subjects’. There are many ways in which children can be more actively involved in research, both as respondents and as co-researchers. This kit aims to give guidance on ways of approaching this work, on ethical issues to be considered, and on techniques that can be used. Case studies from around the world draw on a rich field of participatory research with children that have developed in recent years.

Involving children in primary research concerns research which collects information directly from people, in this case primarily children and young people. Its first chapter looks at ethical issues in children’s participation in research. The second is entitled ‘How to do it’ and starts with sections on how children can be involved in the different stages of primary research. The final section of this chapter discusses methods for participatory research with children on issues of violence, including setting up the project, participatory approaches, research techniques and how to choose methods.

Benefits Of Early Childhood Education

What Are The Benefits Of Early Childhood Education?

For young children, every experience or encounter presents a learning opportunity. They learn from everything they see, do, hear, feel, smell, and taste; everyone they interact (talk, play, laugh) with; and everywhere they go.

Studies suggest that quality early childhood education preschool offers a range of benefits to children, as well as to their families and their communities. In childhood education specialists argued that preschool children learn best when they interact with their peers, receive kind treatment from their parents and educators, and don’t feel pressured to learn.

The specialists also suggested that children learn the most when educational and instructional activities make up a small segment of their days, which is something that quality preschool programs emphasize. Some of the advantages of early childhood education include:

Improved social skills: Children learn to engage better with other children and adults. The preschool environment allows children to acquire vital skills that allow them to listen to others and express their own ideas, make friends, share, cooperate, and become accountable for their actions.

Improved attention spans: Children are inclined to be curious and interested in discovering new things. Quality early childhood programs maximize opportunities for the discovery of new experiences, new environments, and new friends while maintaining a balance with the ability to listen, participate in group tasks, follow directions, and work independently, all of which develop the vital life skill of concentration. 

Enthusiasm for lifelong learning: Children who receive quality early childhood education are reportedly more confident and curious, which causes them to perform better in grade school. Children learn how to manage challenges and build resilience in times of difficulty; settle easily at school to reap the benefits of education faster; and acquire a long-term interest in learning different things, including playing music, dancing, singing, construction, cooking, etc. 

Moreover, studies have shown that early childhood education preschool programs increase the likelihood of children graduating from high school with fewer behavioural issues, attending college, and becoming responsible young adults.
