Individual
Assignment-Review of Journal Articles (25%)
Identify a topic or
issue in human development that is relevant from birth until the end of middle
childhood (or before adolescence) that you are interested in understanding with
greater depth. Examples of topics may include bullying, the impact of divorce
on young children, and the impact of having a child with special needs such as
Autism on the family. Review
3 studies written in journal articles that specifically investigate the topic
chosen by the student (that includes some data collected). Thus, no review
articles should be used for this section of the paper. Explain the purpose of
the study, the method used, the findings from the study, and conclusions drawn.
Also include areas for future study that the authors address in the journal
article. Relate the
topic to three
theories either discussed
in class or in the articles themselves and explain how each theory would
explain or be related to your topic. This is your application of theory to your
topic and not necessarily one that comes from the authors of the journal
articles reviewed. For example, how does attachment theory explain the impact
that divorce has on a child’s adjustment living in two homes? Hand in the link of the 3 journal
articles with your paper. The
write-up is up to the student but may look like the following:
1.
A)
Introduction (.5-1 page)
2.
B)
Review of Journal
Articles (3 pages)
3.
C)
Explanation of the
issue in relation to 3 theories–(3
pages)
4.
D)
Directions for
Future Research (1 page)
5.
E)
Conclusions (1-2 pages)
6.
F)
References (not included
in the page count)
A minimum of three
journal articles must be used to write this paper.
Additional
academic papers may be used to deepen your
understanding of the topic selected. Your paper should be written in APA format
and should be between 8-10 pages double-spaced in length (excluding the title
and reference page) 12 font. Academic
papers means peer reviewed journal articles not textbooks or websites.
