My research topic: Factors affecting cognitive development in children.
Week 4
Research Simulation, Part 2
As you know, these research simulations are intended as an opportunity for you to engage in the major steps of the research process on a manageable scale. As well, they are designed to deepen your knowledge of the research process and make you a more informed critical consumer of research in early childhood. Your task this week is to develop a research question from your topic of interest, determine the time orientation of your research simulation, the setting for it, and the participants.
Fill out the chart below.
