This document discusses research principles and methods for studying child and adolescent development. It introduces the scientific method as an important research principle, outlining the typical steps of identifying a problem, determining a hypothesis, collecting and analyzing data, formulating a conclusion, and applying conclusions to the original hypothesis. Several research designs used in developmental research are described, including case studies, correlational studies, experiments, naturalistic observation, longitudinal studies, cross-sectional studies, sequential studies, and action research. Ethical principles that guide researchers to protect participants are also covered.

with high level of quality and
integrity provide us with
valuable information about
child and adolescent
development. It is important
that you know various
research design and
different data-gathering
techniques used by
developmental researcher.

5. CASE STUDY

7. EXPERIMENTAL

8. NATURALISTIC OBSERVATION

9. LONGITUDINAL

10. CROSS-SECTIONAL

11. SEQUENTIAL

12. ACTION RESEARCH

13. DATA GATHERING

14. ETHICAL PRINCIPLES
 To serve the genuine
purposes of research,
teacher researchers are
subject to ethical .just as,
we have the good of
ethics that governs the
