SECTION 2: LEARNING RESOURCE HIGHLIGHTS

TOPIC - WEEK 3	TOPIC SUMMARY	PERSONAL COMMENT
Ethics in early childhood research	In chapter 5 on page 74 the nature of research the learning resource highlights. As the author say, the researcher may well be interested in benefiting the participants and finding important data for social good, but inevitably part of the motivation of the researcher is in furthering career and status. The nature of research which informed consent is the key to ethical research. As the author would say, the idea of informed consent is based on the ethical view that humans have the right to autonomy that is the right to determine what is in best interests. The ethics in early childhood research in chapter 5 on page 75 as the author say under children and consent. Not all early all early childhood research involves using as participants, as the various. Early childhood research focuses on the early childhood staff, or parents, or some other adults. But much important research does involve children as participants. As the author say on page77confidentiality and privacy, professionals working in the early childhood area are well aware of the need for maintaining confidentiality about children and families. Also out of respect for the privacy of the participants, confidentiality is also promised in most consent forms for research.	My personal comment about the topic ethics in early childhood research of week three. Is that in chapter 5 it examined how different research is not neutral, When all research in useful in various point and particular assumptions in a way viewing by the world. Everyone doesn’t look at research the same way in chapter 5 it involves Aboriginal people as the author say is complex because it requires working within multiple contexts where the power differentials are not just doubled, they are multiplied. Any research that involves Aboriginal people as the author say must make conscious and purposefully act on changing the power dynamics to deliver equity and achieve equality. Which there is a very powerful inherently remains in the ethics in early childhood research there is an aspect of many research in early childhood. Because no matter what everyone in untitled to their own way of being guided their source of research. Still it’s good to know the correct early childhood research ethics. In order to help children and families with knowing the guidelines that covers a range ethics in early childhood research.

SECTION 3: REFLECTION

Week 3, Chapter 5: What kind of benefits could ethically justify subjecting a child to some risk in research.

The ethically justify subjecting a child to some risk in research is child abuse. Researcher might come across evidence of a child that may is being abused. Researcher may continue to research and justify the subjecting. I just think the more research the researcher try to prove the help for the child. If that child is still in the abuse area while the researcher is researching more evidence. To try to remove the child I just think that the researcher is putting the child in a greater risk. Cause by the abuse is more aware of the researcher the child is in a high risk of being more harm and more afraid to tell what the abuser is doing to the child.
