Assignment: Research Project: Research Manual
Each student will select an age range across the lifespan to study that interests him/her. After selecting an age range to study, the student will propose an inquiry question (a topic of study) related to that age range and at least one developmental area to the professor (due week two). After receiving approval, research can begin on the inquiry question. Each student should have at least 10 scholarly resources demonstrating his/her research on the topic. (Peer-reviewed scholarly articles, dictionary/encyclopedia articles, relevant books, etc. should be included). The findings of your research can be presented in one of two ways: (I) Ministry Handbook or (II) Research Paper. Below is an outline of what should be included in each option. Ministry Handbook Project should include the following and be 12 to 15 pages in length:
A. Provide a table of contents
B. An introduction to the notebook/manual. What age group is it designed for? Who is it designed for (teachers, ministers, what setting, etc.)?
C. Helpful tools for ministers/teachers addressing relevant theories for your inquiry/topic. Provide charts, graphs, visuals, research articles, etc. Provide an explanation of relevant theories in a ready-to-use, easy-to-understand format (in your own words)
D. Helpful suggestions, implications, or tips for ministry with relevant age group(s)
E. Other items you would like to have if you needed a reference manual or notebook on developmental/learning theory as it relates to the age group you are studying.
