Question

Any article topic on child development or child psychology. There is no specific article, anyone you can find.

You are to read and review/critique a scholarly journal article on a topic in child psychology/child development relevant to this course published since 2006 (do not include adolescent development, as that is in another course). The article must be primary research (i.e., not a literature review, review article itself, magazine/newspaper, blog, etc.) The appropriateness of the article, written expression and reflective critique will be assessed. You are to submit the original article as well as a 4-page review.

Suggested questions to consider:

Was there a large enough sample?

What research model did they use?

What would you have used?

Is this research valid?

It is truly testing what it is meant to be testing?

What did the authors conclude?

Do you agree with their conclusions?

Is this research useful to clinicians?

What did you think of this journal article?

What new learning can you take from this article that applies to your own life?

The best papers I have read started out with a summary of the article, including the purpose, methods, and main findings (done in 1 page only so that the bulk of the paper is on your critique). Then the questions I asked were integrated into the paper in a well-written way with analytical critiques (positive and negative) of the research. As per the instructions, 4 pages. Please be sure to cite your work
