Issues in Human Growth and Development
Summative Assignment (CCT)
PROCESS:
You will choose a topic/issue in human growth and development
– it may be an issue discussed in class, or one of your own

6. choosing. It may NOT be a topic that you have previously
completed a project on.
1. Identify the issue and the developmental stage to which the
issue is most relevant (some issues may touch several
developmental stages, but please focus on just one stage for this
assignment).
2. Connect this issue to a developmental theory or framework
discussed in class, and explain how this theory is related to the
issue.
3. Explore the growth or development issue in greater depth –
use the research plan to guide your research and help focus your
topic to determine what aspect of the topic you will examine.
4. You will present the results of your research (which may
include primary sources such as surveys, questionnaires and
interviews as well as secondary sources) in both an oral
presentation and written presentation. You will choose how
your work will be divided between these two components.
PRODUCT: There is a written and oral component to this
product. The general expectation is a 5-7 minute presentation,
and a written product that represents an approximately 2000
word essay.
You may choose to scale up or down in terms of your oral
presentation - a longer oral presentation will result in a smaller
written product and a shorter oral presentation will result in a
larger written product. If you chose to demonstrate your
learning with a product that is more of a “thing” you will need
to provide a smaller written component outlining the theoretical
connections.
