Part I 
With the broad topic of ‘Inclusiveness in early childhood education setting’ in mind, address ALL the following questions in Parts I and II.
(a) Formulate TWO (2) related research questions based on the given topic, which could be narrowed further. Be sure that these research questions are not worded too broadly but are realistic for a teacher research project to be conducted in a classroom. Elaborate on why the two research questions are worth investigating.

(b) Discuss and recommend ethical guidelines to ensure that educators who conduct teacher research follow the principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice.
(c) Select and compare THREE (3) data collection methods that you want to use for addressing the TWO (2) research questions proposed in Part I (a). Elaborate on why these data collection methods are appropriate for your teacher research project.

Part II 
Conduct a literature search and draft a brief literature review for the research project you proposed in Part I. In the course of your literature search, you should be able to shortlist at least TWELVE (12) publications that are most relevant.
(a) Formulate an initial literature search. Your search terms chosen should align with your research questions. Describe and explain your decision-making process in terms of the search terms chosen, search engines used, search strategies adopted, and potential literature sources found.

(b) You are to show TWELVE (12) records of references selected from your literature search diary using the literature search record template (MacNaughton & Hughes, 2009) shown below. Then you need to examine and discuss how you would use your initial search results to refine your project’s research questions.

(c) Based on TWELVE (12) articles reviewed, draft an outline for the brief literature review. The outline should include headings and short descriptions of what to include under each heading. Finally, explain why you have created the outline in this way.
