Research in Child and

Adolescent Development
BEED-1A Group 3
Research is to see what everybody else
has seen and to think what nobody else
has thought.

By: Albert Gyorgi

Abstraction

As a pre-service teacher, it is
important to have a positive regard
for research.
Teachers as Consumer /End Users
of Research
Research gives teachers and also
policy- makers important knowledge
to use in decision making for the
benefit of learners and their families.
Teachers as Researchers

The conduct of research does not

only belong to thesis and dissertations
writers. It is for students and teachers
too.
The Scientific Method

One important principles in research

is adherence to the scientific method
since it's systematic and logical
process.
Dewey Five Steps of Scientific Method;

1. Identify and define the problem

2. Determine the hypothesis
3. Collect and analyse the data
4. Formulate conclusions
5. Apply conclusions to the original
hypothesis
Research Design

Researches that are done with a high

level of quality and integrity provide
us with valuable information about
child and adolescent development.

Data Gathering Technique
Observation

Observation can be made in either

laboratories or natural settings.
Physiology Measures

Certain indicates of children’s

development such as among other,
heart rate, hormonal levels, bone,
growth, body weight and brain.
Standardized

These are prepared test that assess

individual performance in different
domains.
Interview and Questionnaires

Based on the interview or

questionnaire given by the researcher.
The gathering of data may be
conducted through a printed
questionnaire, over the telephone or
online.
Life History Records
Records of information about a
lifetime chronology of events and
activities they often involved a
combination of data records on
education, work ,family and
residents.
Ethical Principles
Ethical Principles

Are part of normative theory that

justifies or depends moral rules
and /moral judgments they are not
dependent on one's subjective view
points.
Four Main Ethical Principles

 Beneficence
 Nonmaleficence
 Autonomy
 Justice
Beneficence
The principle of beneficence is the obligation of
physician to act for the benefit of the patient and
supports a number of moral rules to protect and defend
the right of others, prevent harm, remove conditions that
will cause harm, help persons with disabilities, and
rescue persons in danger .
Nonmaleficence

Is the obligation of a physician not to

harm the patient.
Autonomy

Autonomy, means that individuals

have a right to self-determination,
that is, to make decisions about their
lives without interference from
others.
Justice

Justice, means giving each person or group what

he/she or they are due. It can be "measured" in
terms of fairness, equality, need or any other
criterion that is material to the justice decision.
The Ethical Standards of American
Educational Research Association :
Education researchers are honest, fair, and
respectful of others in their professional
activities—in research, teaching, practice, and
service. Education researchers do not knowingly
act in ways that jeopardize the welfare of others.
The Ethical Standards for
Research with Children:
These tenets include free and informed
consent, respect for privacy and
confidentiality, respect for justice and
inclusiveness, and respect for vulnerable
persons.
Five Ethical Principles in the American
Psychological Association (APA) Code of
Ethics
 Beneficence & Nonmaleficence
 Fidelity & Responsibility
 Integrity
 Justice
 Respect for People's Rights & Dignity.
What are the Principles of Ethics in
Education?
Four Principles Of Ethics In Education:
1. Honesty
2. Confidentiality
3. Conflict of Interest
4. Responsibility
Why is it important to be ethical as
a teacher?

Ethics in Education are important because

they assist to run the system smoothly.
The 2012 Data Privacy Act (RA.10173)

The Philippines passed this law in 2012 to uphold the

fundamental human rights to communication privacy
and to ensure the free flow of information to faster
innovation and growth . According to the legislation
consent is required before any personal data collected
and that the goal for collecting the Data must be clear
specific and lawful.
Three Data Privacy Principles

 Transparency
 Legitimate Purpose
 Proportionality
Impact Of Teacher's Research
Involvement on Teachers

Research itself has proven that teacher

have everything to gain and nothing lose
when they get involved in the research
purposes.
Why is research important to a teacher?

Research can help teachers to understand what works

and why ,what the short and long term implications are,
provide a justification and rationale for decisions and
actors , help to build a repertoire to help deal with the
unexpected identify problems inform improvement and
so forth.
What is Abstract in Research?

 Research Abstract

-a short summary of your completed research.

Parts of Research Abstract

 Title
Summarizes the main idea or ideas of your study.

 Researcher/s
Someone who conducts research.
 Date of Research
The date on which a study began.

 Introduction
Introduces the problem or issue that is being studied. It
includes a concise review of research relevant to the topic,
theoretical ties, and one or more hypothesis to be tested.
 Methods
Consists of a clear description of the subjects
evaluated in the study, the measures used and the
procedures that were followed.

 Findings/Results of the Study

Reports the analysis of the data collected.
 Conclusions and Recommendations
State the author/s’ answers to the specific problems of
the study and suggestions on next steps based on the
findings and conclusions of the study.

 References
These include bibliographic information for each
source cited in the research report.
What is a Rubric?

A rubric is a scoring guide used to

evaluate performance, a research
paper, a product, or a project.
Three parts of Rubrics:
1. Performance Criteria
- are the expression of what is to be measured and why.
2. Rating Scale
  - state the criteria and provide three or four response selections
to describe the quality or frequency of student work.

3. Indicators
- describe specific knowledge, skills, and performance for each
Standard.
