Instructions: Write a paper where you fully describe your research project. ***Please use this TEMPLATE attached. The grading rubric is on the final page.***
It should be ~ 6-12 pages (double-spaced) and should be written in APA format with correct spelling and grammar. If you discuss any existing literature (e.g., Piaget’s theory of cognitive development), make sure that you include citations and reference information.
Your paper should include the following sections (word counts are just guides; focus on writing clearly and concisely and including all relevant information rather than the length):
Introduction (300-600 words): Introduce your topic and explain why you are studying it, define all key terms, state your research question, and explain how your project will help address it. If you have any hypotheses of what you’ll find, explain those here.
Method (500-800 words): Describe your study, including the participants (e.g., number of participants, age, gender, etc.), materials (e.g., interview questions, observation protocol), and procedure (what did you do?).
Results (500-800 words): Describe all of your findings in detail. Clearly explain where each finding came from. Avoid interpreting findings here; simply convey what you found. Integrate raw data (e.g., quotations) if appropriate.
Discussion (300-600 words): Discuss your findings: Where they what you expected? What do they mean? How to they address your research question? What are the implications for other topics, contexts, etc.? If you were to do more research on this topic, what would you do next?
