Directions - 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.

• - Create your purpose statement for your experiment.
• - Justify a need for your research (why is it important), and include references to current research on the same topic.
• - Describe and justify an experimental design. Is your study descriptive, experimental, correlational? Why is this design most appropriate to use to study your topic?
• - How would you recruit your subjects for the study, and how would you collect your data (observations, surveys, interviews, etc.)?
• - Are there any ethical considerations in your study that are specific to this age group?
