Arnec Connections : Working Together for Early Childhood No. 10 , Special Edition 2016

Notes

In March 2015, the authors of the case studies presented in this Special Issue, along with managers and staff from the sites that were selected for Documentation, and a team of researchers from Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD ), met in Bangkok for the first time at the ?\u20ac\u02dcFirst Technical Workshop for Documentation of Noteworthy Practices, 2015?\u20ac\u2122. During the three-day workshop, a special bond was formed between these intrepid authorresearchers, the UBD team and the host research sites. When research is reported in a standardized format (as, indeed, it must be), the personal investment, commitment and emotional attachment to research participants and sites that characterizes the research process is often missed, as are the steps taken to ensure that a rigorous approach is taken to collecting data. It is these aspects of the Noteworthy Practices (2015) documentation project that we intend to highlight in our overview of the project.
