Your Personal research Journey

The topic that I chose was; Death Understanding and fear of Death in Young Children. The reason why I chose this topic was because death and fears are common in our lives everyday. Death and facing fears can be not only not be understandable, but confused. It can be a puzzle that has a lot of missing pieces.

 Professionally, I have to face these problems with my young children and their families. I need to know how to discuss this issues without being bias. I need to know what resources I need to accomplish this task. I can honestly say these terms in the book, is very confusing. When I started the class, I had no book, and thought I was going to be lost. Now its more confusing. I constantly view the chart, but too me; its still confusing.

I know what to look for certain material from the chart. I have always felt that research was hard. I have that research anxiety. I am asking you, my colleagues to help me figure out the process of research. I need to know how to access the right information, and what to do with the information. I would like to know your resources that you think that can help me with this course. I did go to the internet and goggled other resources, and found that some of them had the same similarities. I hope that someone can assist me.

  1. Hello Guadalupe,

    You are right, research can be difficult to understand. For me, writing research papers while in undergrad was always a challenge. One thing that was challenging was finding the right research for my topic which was something that took time and energy. Searching for research on a topic and issue is a process and something that can not be rushed. I would always use google scholar, educated published authors, and scholarly journals. That way I knew that the source was good.

    1. Sheena, I chose this topic because it was hard for me to explain death to my little sister when I lost my mother. I want to know what to tell my children in my class, or I even want to know if I am implementing what I know is right.

  3. I can't wait to read more about your topic. I never really thought about this topic but this is very interesting. Death understanding and fear of death in young children is going to be a great topic to research Guadalupe. The topic of death is hard for adults so I know it's stressful and extremely hard for children. I look forward to reading more of your topic.

  5. Guadalupe,
    I enjoyed reading your post; what a huge undertaking! I would have never thought to delve into the topic of death with young children however, it is a part of life that they will encounter; some sooner than others. This is a very deep topic and I look forward to following along with you in your research journey.
