Turunen, Tuija A.; Dockett, Sue; Perry, Bob – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2015
This article reports on methodological issues in the study of autobiographical narratives about transition to school within a life course approach. The data consist of 89 Australian participants' recollections of starting school between 1928 and 1995. These narratives are considered as life reviews and part of the story of "continuing…

Molenaar, Peter C. M.; Campbell, Cynthia G. – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2008
In his introduction to this special issue, Roger Millsap has given an excellent summary of its contents. This eases our task considerably. In what follows, we first present some general observations about growth curve modeling of longitudinal data. Among other things, we will address the criticism that the popular latent growth curve model may…

Mok, Yan Fung; Fan, Ruth Mei-Tai; Pang, Nicholas Sun-Keung – Educational Studies, 2007
This study examined the metacognitive developmental patterns of Hong Kong school students. Students rated their own metacognitive competencies by responding to an inventory of six motivational- and cognitive-metacognitive subscales. Results showed that students' metacognitive competencies decreased with age--from primary 4 (age 9) to secondary 5…

Spitz, Herman H. – Journal of Special Education, 1983
The author critically reviews the literature on the developmental approach to mental retardation by examining such aspects as motivation, interrupted tasks, probability learning, institutional effect, statistical problems, and Piagetian tasks; and questions whether there is a substantial body of valid evidence supporting claims of…

Froming, William J.; McColgan, Edgar B. – Developmental Psychology, 1979
A comparison of the two leading indices of moral development, the Defining Issues Test and the Moral Dilemma Interview, was made using 215 subjects ranging in age from 12 to 25. Correlation between the two tests was low when age, socioeconomic status, and intelligence variables were partialed out. (Author/SS)

McDowell, Eugene E., III – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1973
Both observational techniques indicated similar findings in age-related behavior changes. Continuous-recording yielded a more molecular analysis and was concluded to be more desirable for collecting naturalistic observation data. (ST)

Harre, Rom, Ed. – Oxford Review of Education, 1984
Research results reported in this special issue show that egocentricity and staging, both central ideas in the Piaget-Kohlberg account of human development, are myths. The appearance of egocentricity and staging can be accounted for by a subtle combination of ethnocentricity and the effects of inappropriate methodologies. (RM)

And Others; Kramer, Judith A. – Child Development, 1975
An investigation of Piaget's theory of object concept development through a series of six tasks administered in a combined longitudinal/cross-sectional design (which incorporated a number of methodological controls). Subjects were 36 infants who received the six tasks during each of three testing sessions over a 6-month period. (Author/ED)

MacKay, C. K.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1972
One finding is that the children in this study did not reach a level in the development of these concepts expected by Piaget of 9-year-olds. (Authors/CB)

Siegel, Alexander W.; Barber, John C. – 1972
Tests of dimensional dominance with planometric stimuli in either the visual or haptic modality were given to 108 children, 36 from each of the grade levels preschool, kindergarten, and first. Visual dimensions were form and color; haptic dimensions were form and texture. Following initial dominance assessment, one-third of the subjects were…

Winborne, Duvon G.; Randolph, Suzanne M. – 1991
This study examined the interaction between infant behavior and maternal ethnocentric attitudes and expectations. The ethnomethodological approach used in this study was guided by the assumption that it is essential for an investigator to consider the broad cultural context in which behavior is studied. The behavior of 80 African-American neonates…

Levant, Ronald F. – 1979
This paper presents a discussion of the importance of voluntary childlessness as a contemporary social phenomenon.

An exploration of the methodological limitations of existing research is included which emphasizes its usefulness…

Siegler, Robert S. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1981
Describes and discusses the rule-assessment approach, a new research strategy for studying developmental sequences in children's acquisition of knowledge. Four experiments were conducted to illustrate the utility of this approach across a variety of concepts and a wide range of ages (three-year-olds to college students). (Author/CM)

Hwang, Mae-Hyang; Kim, Ji-Hyeon; Ryu, Jeong Yi; Heppner, Mary J. – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2006
The circumscription process developed by Gottfredson (1981, 1996) has shown much promise in understanding the development of the vocational self-concept in U.S. samples. Little is known about the application of this process to cross national samples. This investigation studied the circumscription process with a large sample of 733 South Korean…

Hooper, Frank H.; Sipple, Thomas S. – 1975
Two experiments which investigated the young child's ability to deal with multiplicative classes and relations (considered behavioral indices of concrete operations thought) in double series and cross class matrices are described and discussed. In the initial study, 160 children from preschool through grade 2 received six matrix subtasks…
