<\/span><\/span>The Body of the paper: <\/span><\/span><\/span>Your <\/span><\/span><\/span>p<\/span><\/span>aper<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>should include <\/span><\/span><\/span>several paragraphs for each<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>of the following sections. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Use the headings and format below as a template for writing your paper. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An introductory paragraph introduces the reader to the topic of your paper and states the thesis of the research. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>For the purpose of this assignment, the introductory paragraph should describe the research topic presented within the selected article as well as the main points discussed throughout the article.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Rationale<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trace the logical reasons for this research based upon the findings of previous research.  In other words, what prior findings discussed in the selected article led the researchers to the current experiment?  <\/span><\/span>For example, if researchers wanted to do a study about a new medication to <\/span><\/span><\/span>be given<\/span><\/span> <\/span>to children, then part of the rationale (e.g. reasoning) might be that no one has researched the medication on children before.  Another possibility could be that the medications currently used with children <\/span><\/span><\/span>have been found<\/span><\/span> <\/span>to have serious side effects.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Methods<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Describe the subjects, procedures, and measurement tools used in the study.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Results<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What were the findings of the researchers?  Although you <\/span><\/span><\/span>are not expected<\/span><\/span> <\/span>to interpret advanced statistics, <\/span><\/span><\/span>focus on<\/span><\/span> <\/span>the summative statements in the section.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Discussion\/Conclusion<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What does the experimental evidence add to the existing knowledge?  How did the authors <\/span><\/span><\/span>critique<\/span><\/span> <\/span>their own research?<\/span><\/span> <\/span>How does <\/span><\/span><\/span>these<\/span><\/span> <\/span>res<\/span><\/span>earch <\/span><\/span><\/span>findings <\/span><\/span><\/span>apply or could be applied<\/span><\/span> <\/span>to <\/span><\/span><\/span>personal and <\/span><\/span><\/span>professional ethics<\/span><\/span> <\/span>which may <\/span><\/span><\/span>impact<\/span><\/span> <\/span>people during their lives<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Critical Thinking<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In what ways do the research findings fit with the content you have learned in Human Growth and Development?  How might the <\/span><\/span><\/span>research findings<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>impact<\/span><\/span> <\/span>people during their lives?  How does this research apply<\/span><\/span>\/or could be applied<\/span><\/span> <\/span>to<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>or differ from the <\/span><\/span><\/span>local<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>diversity <\/span><\/span><\/span>and <\/span><\/span><\/span>global<\/span><\/span> <\/span>perspectives<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>(e.g.,<\/span><\/span> <\/span>parenting styles, sexual expression, relationship patterns,<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>treatment of different age groups, gender roles, death, dying, bereavement, and other human development topics)<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
