The statement that I plan to conduct a research on is: The development and performance of immigrant children.
Questions that I plan to ask are:
- What are the factors that may impact immigrant children?
- What is the education experience like for them?
- In what ways did racial discrimination affect them?
- What are the positive and negative impacts on them?
- Is there anything done to assist immigrant children in the country?
- Do parents also impact their children in any way after migrating to a new country?
In an ideal world, sources that would help me develop an answer to this research question are sources that are credible, such as published books, articles, and studies that may have been conducted to prove a certain statement. In a less ideal world, the information could come the results of a google search, a blog on the topic, videos, or what others think about the topic. To get the information I want, I would go to the Baruch library website and search up the key words on the topic. For my research topic, I would search up key words or phrases such as “development/performance of immigrant children”, “impacts of immigrant children”, or just simply “immigrant children” for broader results.
Two initial sources:
- Peer-reviewed article: “Social context influences the ethnic identity development of immigrant children in middle childhood”
- Peer-reviewed journal: “Immigrant Children: Introducing the Issue”
