Hi
Just wondering if anyone is interested in completing my electronic survey?
It takes approximately 10-15 minutes and is confidential, as I have not asked for names. If you are interested please PM me.
I am undertaking a major independent study as part of my Masters degree in Early Childhood Studies. The focus of my study is Heuristic play and the use of natural open ended resources and loose parts within childminding settings. I would be grateful if you would be willing to take part in my research by completing this survey. The aim of my research is to consider the following hypothesis.
Do childminders use active learning to support children’s development through the use of open-ended resources?
I have also been researching different theorists who all acknowledge the benefits of using natural resources. By focusing on childminders I'm hoping to compare their knowledge, experience and qualification to see if there's a link between those who have undertaken training, workshops etc.
I want to consider how the training has impacted on childminders practice and if they have started to use more natural resources, loose parts and everyday objects with children. Outcomes for children's learning and development may form part of this and it will be interesting to discover if any differences to behaviour, concentration and creativity have been observed.
