My own undergraduate research study benefitted children in
many ways. I did a research on the topic, “Constructive Processes that Children
Learn from Digital Camera”. From this research, I have learned that it’s not
about the product but the process that is more important in child development.
At the beginning of my research many of the children in my research have never
used camera and this research study provided them an opportunity to learn from
digital camera. From eight weeks of study, children went through different
stages and learned to use the camera. From this study, students learned skills
like problem solving, taking turns, spatial awareness, eye-hand coordination
and many more.
In today’s world, I find it very important that children
learn to use tools. I personally would like to do more research like this in
future and moving with the modern pace and also teach children. At the same
time, we also want to limit the use of technologies, if the use of the
technologies benefits the children in learning, then why not?
Lhakpa,
ReplyDeleteYou made an excellent point when you stated that the use of technology should be limited for children. Technology can certainly help children learn but too much technology can negatively affect very young children.

Lhakpa,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. I think your research study was very beneficial in seeing how children can learn through their environment and tools. I think using tools and different technologies is very beneficial to children. You are right that we should limit the use of technology and to make sure that when it is being used it is a benefit for them instead of a hindrance.
