Assignment

Research Simulation, This Assignment is to create a research study outline based on information from all previous research simulations.

Research Simulation Application Assignments you completed, This is the topic ("How young children learn first language") and think about any changes you might want to make based on what you have learned in the course and your Instructor's feedback. Reflect on any insights you have now that let you view the previous Simulation Assignments in a new light. Then, construct your paper to include all of the following:

1. State the title of your research simulation ("How young children learn first language")

2. Describe the major topic and the overall goal

3. Briefly describe any extraneous variables and in what way(s) you will control them

4. Name the research design you would use (i.e., quantitative design, qualitative design, or mixed method design), and the reasons for your choice

5. Describe the study participant(s)

6. Describe ways in which you will choose your participant(s) ( i.e., describe your sampling process)

7. Discuss any sampling issues/challenges you might encounter

8. Describe the data collection method(s) you will use-and what influenced your choice

9. List at least one way you will assure that your study is valid

10. Describe any major ethical issue(s) you perceive for your study- and ways you will address ethics

11. Describe limitations/challenges you perceive in your study

12. Name at least one way you anticipate this study could make a contribution to the field of early childhood (i.e., who do you anticipate will benefit and in what way(s))

1. State the major research question(s)
2. Name and describe the independent variable(s) as well as the dependent variable(s) in your simulation.
