The Key Reference will assist you getting started, assist in finding additional information and should be used as one of your empirical studies
The topic covers social, emotional and/or behavioural functioning. It is acceptable to cover just one area of functioning, two areas of functioning or all three areas of functioning.
The details of your empirical studies should include:
The aim of the study
Who participated
The method and measures use to evaluate
The main outcomes
How it improved, confirmed the ideas or how it connects to any other sources you mention
The focus of your task should be on the Australian education system. You may have some sources from overseas research, but you need to connect them back to the Australian education system (Do they connect? Can the findings be used here?)
Remember for this task, there is an emphasis on the use of recent peer-reviewed research that is relevant to educational contexts – try and choose sources that are ‘research’ focused (not just ‘generic information’).
All research should focus on the early childhood education sector.
Your essay should have an introduction and conclusion
You may use subheadings to assist in displaying your understanding / assist in connections
You must use APA7 referencing
Your word count does not include the reference list or appendix. It does include in-text citations.
