PSY 211 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

4. Overview: For this milestone, you will submit your completed
Literature Worksheet in Module Three. You will complete all
sections of the worksheet (Article
One, Article Two, and Article Three) using the articles from
your chosen track that were presented in Modules One, Two,
and Three. The information in this
worksheet will inform the literature review section of your final
project submission. The final project submission is due in
Module Eight. The final project is meant
for you to propose a hypothetical study. You are not and should
not be conducting human subjects research for this project. It is
not necessary for the purposes
of this assignment. All human subjects research requires written
approval from the SNHU COCE Institutional Review Board in
order to protect the welfare and
ensure ethical treatment of the subjects.
In Module One, you must choose one of two tracks. You will
use your selected track for Modules Two and Three as well. The
track you choose determines the
articles you will review to find a research gap and inform your
idea for a research design for your final project. You must use
the same track for the entire course.
Track One looks at how prenatal exposure to certain substances
affects a child’s development, both before and after birth. Track
Two focuses on how parenting
and social factors affect development.
You will submit the first section (Article One) of your
Literature Worksheet in Module One for instructor feedback.
This feedback will be helpful for informing your
approach to the remaining two sections (Articles Two and
Three) of your Literature Worksheet. This deliverable will be
graded as pass/fail.

5. For Module Three, you must complete all sections of the
Literature Worksheet using three articles provided for your
chosen track. Provide only 2 to 3 sentences
for each question. The following elements must be addressed as
outlined in the worksheet and the Final Project Guidelines and
Rubric document:
A. Summarize the claims made by the authors of the
foundational research presented in your chosen track regarding
how humans develop over their life
span.
B. Summarize the claims made by the authors of the
foundational research presented in your chosen track regarding
physical, social, and environmental
factors that influence development.
C. Explain how the view of the human life span has evolved
over the history of developmental psychology. Support your
response with examples from the
literature.
D. Explain the conclusions you can reach about collective
research in developmental psychology. Support your response
with examples from the literature.
E. Describe the specific research designs used in the
foundational research presented in your chosen track to address
research questions.
F. Explain how research designs were used by authors to
conduct research in developmental psychology.
G. Describe how issues of ethics have been addressed in the
foundational research presented in your chosen track.
H. Describe how issues of ethics in developmental psychology
have been viewed historically.
