interview questions

As part of your experience for this course, you will arrange an interview and observation of subjects from two separate age periods. You will select one subject from two of the following age groups: toddlerhood, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescent years.

In your final paper you will summarize both interviews and observations as well as compare both age groups.

You will begin in this unit by formulating 5 interview questions that you will ask to both of your subjects.

You will submit your questions for review and consideration. The document should include the age groups of your subjects. Protecting your subject’s identity is crucial, therefore create coded names/labels for the subject (eg, Subject Y) and do not indicate if you have a specific connection to the subject (eg, your niece).

Note: The purpose of the questions should be to identify and confirm the cognitive stage of the childs development. For example, asking a 4 year old about Santa Claus–the response should confirm where they are in their cognitive understanding of this mythical creature.

Guidelines

1. Use a 12-point font.
2. Use double spacing, so there is room for me to write comments.
