Possible investigations

Possible investigations

Task: Read the 'possible investigations' on one of my blog posts and discuss with a partner which would be problematic and why - what better suggestions could you come up with? What are two or three suitable ideas for you to investigate? 

      Observations of young children learning to speak read or write:

      I think this would be a good topic to use as it is an interesting subject. However with this investigation there could be some problems, it would be difficult to ethically produce the data as permission will be needed to study the development of the children, however it would be effective data to use regarding reliability, this is because I could get enough data from a plentiful amount of children to investigate. For this reason there would also be enough to consider in comparability there would only be one variable which could be the age or the gender of the children. Other suggestions I came up with are the observations of young children, teenagers, and adults and how they read and write, I could investigate the development and how the techniques they use differs from their ages.
