Discussion Post: Piaget's Theory: Concrete Operational Skills
Determine which construct you think would be beneficial to study in children ages six to twelve in today's society. Complete a search on your topic, and examine some of the current articles that have been published (in the last five years). Then, design your own experiment to examine the concept.
a) Create your purpose statement for your experiment.
b) Justify a need for your research (why is it important), and include references to current research on the same topic.
c) Describe and justify an experimental design. Is your study descriptive, experimental, correlational? Why is this design most appropriate to use to study your topic?
d) How would you recruit your subjects for the study, and how would you collect your data (observations, surveys, interviews, etc.)?
e) Are there any ethical considerations in your study that are specific to this age group?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
