Development and age-related research design

For the research assignment, students will access the library databases (online or on campus) and will find a scholarly, peer-reviewed article that must meet the following criteria: 1. The article must be relevant to development. 2. The article must utilize an age-related research design (acceptable designs are longitudinal, cross-sectional, sequential, and time-lag). To receive full credit, students must: 1. Summarize the article briefly (one to two paragraphs), taking care not to directly copy from the article or abstract (plagiarized work will receive no credit) 2. Correctly identify the age-related research design used in each study (longitudinal, cross-sectional, sequential, or time-lag). 3. Explain the elements of the design that led to identification of the type. 4. Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of that particular design in the context of the study. 5. Upload a PDF of the study so your professor has access to it for reference purposes Students will NOT receive credit for articles that are not peer-reviewed, do not use an age-related design, or are not related to development.
