research project on schemas

[friend]

Hi,
I wondered if anyone could help me come up with some key words for my research project on schemas. I need help with a question.

I am really interested in schematic development, I did a short level 3 course. But I would really like to investigate further. however I'm stuck!!!
Do I explore schemas in action ?? my question for this is simple

Exploring schematic development in the early years.

Or do I look at how the setting provides for children showing schematic development and how can I put this into a question.

I am fully aware that formulating a question has to be my own work!!

But if anyone has any key words which can help me formulate a question I would be grateful !!!
or could give an objective view of why one area would be harder/easier/too vague/too simple/not enough.
