Your Personal Research Journey

I am in pivotal point of my journey, because I am abundantly learning about issues and trends relating to early childhood and children. This has brought me to a point where I am realizing that the early childhood interconnection within the deaf and hard of hearing community is not in its strongest position.   This led me to come up with a chosen topic for the simulation: Young Deaf Children and their Early Education: Quality, Equity, and Accessibility in Early Childhood Education Programs for Birth to Three

An idea of researching early childhood education within the deaf community has always intrigued me. However, when I performed an actual simulation, I experienced some moments of doubts.  Then I decided to do some scholar search on website and discovered limited numbers of good research that I could refer to for my study.  Obviously, this led me to reconsider how to rephrase the topic and the subtopics even though I clearly identified the subtopics. 

Quality, equity, and accessibility are the chosen subtopics for this research. Each of the three subtopics plays a major role in children’s earliest stage of learning. Quality is the most misunderstood aspect of child development for years. For this research, the quality of teachers is the focal point.Accessibility is necessary and vital in young deaf children’s learning. Disability and bilingual are unique and contribute to the greater part of learning within the early childhood program and its community.  There are insufficient settings offering programs for infants and toddlers with hearing loss.   Inequity in early childhood education has a greater impact on children’s education milestones. Children with disability are often behind in academic and have difficult time obtain appropriate services to meet their needs.

I would appreciate your feedback on my research process.
