At the end of year 10 until now we have been doing our research AQA task, we have put on it information such as primary/secondary research. Primary research is where you have to go out and get the research yourself. Secondary research is where you go on websites & look in books to get the research you are looking for. There is loads of other information you can go and get research from e.g books/internet/newspapers. I have learnt so much about this research task I have learnt about primary and secondary research, how parents choose their current option childcare, ratios & qualifications, as well as what children gain from childcare.
Children gain learning on how to share, how to take turns, how to accept rules, boosted self-esteem, preparation for school, confidence, communication skills, cleanliness and a polite manner of eating.
I had to do a questionnaire about my childcare and go around and ask teachers that have children to fill them in for me if they had time so I have about 3 back to me so I put a one of them on my research task to help me. There is a child development research task time line on my research task to show you when I started it and when we finished it but the whole class went over it and haven’t finished it till now but some people are still doing it now.
