• the amount of information you require • the types of sources you require • the types of publications you require.

Page 48: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Amount of information

Some assignments can be completed by consulting your lecture notes... ... while other assignments require more detailed and comprehensive information. How much is enough?

The question of how much information is required is a matter of judgement.

To ensure you meet the requirements and present an appropriate depth of coverage of your topic, refer to the marking and assessment criteria set by your lecturer.

The length, weight, marks, and task should guide the amount of information required.

Page 49: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Types of sources

You may be directed to use only primary sources for your assignment......while other assignments might require use of both primary and secondary sources.

Information sources can be regarded as primary or secondary depending on their:

originality proximity to the source or event.

Page 50: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Types of sources

Primary sources come directly from the source or person. They are original materials, which have not been filtered through interpretation. For example: patents, statistics, interviews

and surveys Secondary sources analyse, interpret and

comment on primary information. For example: biographies, journal articles

Page 51: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Evaluate Information or Resources

Relevance Timeliness Reliability Validity Coverage Accuracy

Page 52: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Relevance

Read the table of contents, abstract or summary. Ask yourself:

Does the information sound relevant? Who is the intended audience? Are they central or peripheral to your topic? Primary or secondary source? Comprehensive enough for your needs? Express particular point of view? Level of the presented information

Page 53: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Timeliness – is the information timely?

when published/ compiled? information regularly updated? How often? still valid for your topic?

Page 54: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Reliability – is the information reliable?

who is the author? credentials of the author? come from an authoritative

source? where published? Journal?

Popular magazines? been edited/ reviewed? how stable is the information?

Page 55: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Validity

What process was used to gather and analyse the information? When assessing the validity of the information,

ensure that its collection used sound methodology based on established principles and fact or is consistent with accepted professional and industry standards.

Documentation of methods, assumptions and sources of error should be transparent.

Page 56: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Coverage – is the information complete?

does it cover the topic in terms of: time – historical information, current

information geography – local, regional, national,

international specificity – how specific? Detailed or

general? point of view – a single point, an opposing

points, or a range of view points? is the information complete / abridged? all the information accessible? Summary

only?

Page 57: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Accuracy – is it accurate or bias?

how is it presented? fact or opinion? is it correct? can verify? obvious errors or omissions? facts misquoted or misrepresented? language use – concrete, objective, specific. is it biased? represent particular point of view,

intentionally exclude others?

TOPIC 4:METHODS OF ANALYZING ISSUES

IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

Page 59: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Many psychologist study human development.They tend to understanding what is the unique about humans.Methods and techniques are developed to study how humans learn.

Millicent Shinn of Niles, California is the first person to complete observation on a child. She observed on her niece and made records. The records was published in The Biography of a Baby.

This will help many psychologists to understand how importance of the scientific study in research area.

Page 60: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

This topic surveys the methods that developmental psychologist use in studying the human beings.

Contents:• Cross-sectional method• Longitudinal method• Cross cultural studies• Co-twin studes

Page 61: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Key to be remember: - Compare groups that differ in age or

background.

It aims to compare developmental levels at various ages or background.

Gather data at one point in time. It contrast with longitudinal method.

Page 62: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Example:Study the developmental level of infant from birth to 1 year-old. Different group with different age infants will be investigated to compare their developmental level. Various group of subjects participate in a study:

A group of 1 month-old infants, a group of 2 months-old infants……a group of 12 months-old infant. Compare these 12 groups of subject.

Page 63: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Longitudinal MethodLongitudinal Method Key to be remember: - Observe one group at different times.

Same group of subjects will be studied in different times.

Normally used in study the stages of human development.

Strength:- Able to observe the subject’s developmental

stage from beginning to end of the study.

Weakness:- Attrition/subject loss- Subject loss occurs when participants fail to

complete the study.

Page 64: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Cross Cultural StudiesCross Cultural Studies

Key to be remember: -Compare groups from different cultures.

It focus on how culture influences on human’s development. People differ in culture, customs, and roles are being studied and compared.

Topics which related with cross cultural studies:Individualism vs. collectivismGender rolesIntelligence

Page 65: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Key to be remember:- Differences between identical twins are not caused by heredity.

When developmental psychologist want to rule out the effects of heredity in their study.This method aims to compare the identical twins who have been given different kinds or training or reared apart.

Page 66: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

Co-twin Studies

For example,Hilgard (1933) had conducted a study about memory performance. 1.Trained one twin to remember digits in the first year2.Trained the other twin to remember digits in the second year.3.Compare their memory performance.

Result: 1.The twin trained later did better than the twin trained in the first year. 2.Both of the twins lost their achievement after training was ended.

This indicates that time of training could influence twins’ memory performance.

Time of training served as an Independent variable/ environmental factor in the study.

All calls appear to be handled simultaneously, but the two memory devices make it possible for the system to operate so quickly. The data on how to connect call is contained in the program store, which exchanges information with the call store. Central control processes the information of both stores. All the call in progress are recorded in the call store, but the system executes only instruction at a time. Stored program control uses these two memory devices.

Stored program control uses these two memory devices. A program store and a call store. The program store contains the data required to instruct central control how to connect calls and the call store keeps track of all the calls in progress. The two memory stores exchange information and feed instruction to central control, which processes them. Although the system executes only one instruction at a time, it operates so quickly and appears to handle all calls simultaneously.

Body Limit the number of points you cover

Normal limitations of the attention span Orient the audience more – e.g., a third

factor that may hinder the progress ….. Rule of thumb for structuring the body of

presentation is to build as many signposts as you can.

Tell the audience what you’re going to tell them

Tell them Tell them you’ve told them

Presentation as a whole – some strategies to get the most out of your planning/preparation: Look at your audience and talk directly to them

If faces make you nervous, Look at forehead instead – appear to the audience that you are looking right into their eyes

Stand on both feet – stop nervous shifting Let your arms move to accompany your words Speak loud enough so everyone can hear you Speak clearly Speak slow enough to give the audience time to

absorb what you say. Talk naturally Let your voice show that you are interested in

your subject.

Handling Visuals during the Speech Position visuals so they are visible from all

parts of the room Introduce any visual you show Explain the visuals or talk about the key

ideas they suggest Stand next to the visual not in front of it. Point the visual with the arm closest to it.

Don’t reach across your body 9blocks view and interferes with eye contact)

Show the visual long enough for the audience for the audience to grasp its details

Page 103: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

1. Effective PowerPoint slides

Use design templates Standardize position, colors and styles  Include only necessary information  Limit the information to essentials Content should be self-evident Use colors that contrast  Be consistent with effects, transitions and

animation  Too many slides can lose your audience

4. Audience

Who is your audience?  What is their background?    What do they expect to get from the presentation?  What is the age of your audience?

Your message may be great but you will irritate your audience if they can not read your slides.

5. Prepare your presentation5. Prepare your presentation

What is your message and what do you want to accomplish with your presentation?

What is your time constraint? How do you wish to handle questions,

during or after the presentation? Your audience may determine that for

you.

6. What happens if the computer does not work but your audience still expects a presentation?

Handouts of your slides may be useful even if the computer does work. 

You may print small versions of your slides or the outline version.

Page 109: INSTRUCTOR:  SITI NOR BINTI YAACOB, PhD. OFFICE: TINGKAT 1 BLOK A, FEM

7. Rehearse, test presentation on colleagues.

8. Don’t read off the screen! Use slides as prompts, outlines, or conversation points, not cue cards. It is very boring for the audience to see every word you say or have you read from note cards.
