Assignment:
As a doctoral students and a future researcher this class helps me to understand and look beyond the information that I'm looking for. To understand the different between a theory and a facts to be a researcher in the educational field you have to understand what educational prospect you have to follow, the present education, or what the future education will be. The idea of being a research for me is to add a new thing to the educational history, to find something that is missing or not covered the way it should be covered.
As a special education doctoral student, and as a student in the epistemology class, I understand that my field is not that easy to research in because in many cases the environment and other factors may affect my results or it could change during the time. The human science and the educational field always related to the humanity part and what the situation around the study topic or what could the society may reflect on the topic.
In Saudi Arabia, if we talked about special education, most of the time we can't find a clear answer for our researchers because of the society or the families and what they needs or understand, which leads us to the most important thing for me that I need the society to understand why we are researching and why we are looking for an answer or new innovation in the educational field. The time is changing and the traditional way of learning isn't effective anymore, we need to create new ways to make the new generation learn and think. As a mission for the educational researcher, we should be open to other ideas, to look behind the facts, to read and learn more, this is the way to open up on the theory of learning and how to encourage ourselves to look more and discover new things for the future.
