developmental research designn4. This research design studies and follows through a single group
over a period of time.

 Application

Surf the internet for samples of research abstracts/researches on child and adolescent development.
Select one research abstract then using the matrix given below, write the problem, the research
methodology, the findings and the conclusions.

Problem Research Methodology

To arrive at an international consensus on Two separate panels of 12 experts each went
research priorities in the area of child and through three rounds of Delphi technique. The
adolescent physical activity and sedentary Delphi technique required experts to
behavior. anonymously respond to questions posed by
researches, with feedback supplied in between
Source rounds.

(biblio
Findings graphi Conclusions
The study’s main result was These research priorities may be useful in
Prioritize list of 29 research objectives that determining future research directions.
were intended to be applicable throughout the
following ten years. The top three priorities
were: developing affective and long-term
intervention to increase children’s physical
activity; policy and/or environmental change
and their impact on children’s physical activity
and sedentary behavior; and prospective, long-
term research on children’s physical activity
and sedentary.

Write T if the statement is CORRECT and F if the statement is WRONG.

T1. Quality research adheres to the scientific method.

T2. For research on child and adolescent development to serve its ultimate purpose, researchers
must be governed by ethical principles.

F3. Which research design and data-gathering technique to use has nothing to do with the nature
of the research problem and objective/s of the research.

T_4. Teachers are both producers of knowledge when they conduct research and are consumers or
end users of knowledge when they utilize research findings to improve instruction.

T5. Research has a transformative effect on teachers’ self-understanding and on their classroom
practice. It enables teachers to develop a better understanding of themselves, their
classrooms, and their practice through the act of reflective inquiry.
