I am receiving my MS in literacy education. What sounds more interesting to you? Bibliotherapy- using books to help the reader learn about and cope with any social or emotional struggles or developmental needs by identifying with a character in a book who shares a similar struggle or need OR curiosity. How curiosity has been neglected in schools. How building curiosity in students gets them motivated and eager to learn. Can we instill curiosity or is it a trait your born with? If we are innately curious than must it be developed or nurtured? At what age or stage in a child's progress should we be concerned to not see evidence of curiosity? Do boys display more traits of a curious mind than do girls of the same age? As Einstein said, "I have no special talent, I am only passionately curious." Suggestions!?

Ooh, both sounds fascinating.

But ... does the fact that I'm so curious about them suggest that I should vote for the Curiosity topic?

Yes. That one.
Curiosity
Yeah, but that killed the cat, sibo.
curiosity does it for me
Both interesting. The 'curiosity' one gets my vote. There's bound to be a lot of research material you can use, all the way from the late C19 when education was being studied in a scientific way for the first time, to the latest findings about brain development. It's marketable too; you may get a popular book out of it! It's pretty fascinating stuff, interesting to parents and the general public alike.

The other is a narrower field, nowhere near as 'sexy', and research is likely to be burdened by reading tedious works by psychologists, both amateur and professional.
