i am just starting my 2nd year on a F.D course.
One of my modules is research methods,i have to come up with a topic and research it.
im interested in the topic "children learning through play" or role play. i was wondering if anybody could help me come up with a question?
many thanks

You have chosen a vast topic. You need to narrow it down and be much more specific. eg. is it superhero play, outdoor play, imaginative play,etc you are interested in?
Then form your question within that aspect. For example: how do girls respond to superhero play? How does role-play support children's emotional development?
Try not to start questions with does / do / are / can because they are yes/no questions and research is not like that. It doesn't come up with definite answers.

Piaget discusses play and how children learn. Perhaps you should look him up to give you some ideas with your research. Best of luck to you.
