Scholarship

CI 677: Writing for Publication was a pivotal experience in developing my identity as a researcher and scholar. Creating the manuscript “Integrating Unplugged and Plugged Coding in Early Childhood Education” strengthened my ability to synthesize data, analyze literature, and write for professional dissemination. Through feedback and peer collaboration, I learned how to communicate research findings with clarity, align methodology with purpose, and contribute meaningfully to the field of early childhood education. Presenting this work at the West Virginia Reading Association Conference reflected my commitment to bridging theory, research, and classroom practice.
