Week Two Written Assignment Guidance

Hypothesis

A question/hypothesis can be tricky…and confusing! Before youcan write a question and then the hypothesis, you must first askyourself -What area of child development really intrigues me? Readthe front inside cover of your book; discover which area of childdevelopment piques your interest and then formulate yourhypothesis.  As a researcher you need to ask the questionbefore a hypothesis can be formulated.

Later, in the semester, you will narrow down your topic and thenfocus on all information that pertains to this subject. Thecompletion of this paper will be your Final.

A hypothesis is defined as \"a prediction stated in a way thatpermits it to be tested\" (Feldman, 2012, p.34). A hypothesisexpresses the potential relationship between the variables in theresearch.

Example: A research question could be: \"Cangenetic testing ensure that all prenatal inherited and geneticdisorders can be detected before the fetus is nine weeks?

And the hypothesis could be: \"When genetic testing is done, allprenatal inherited and genetic disorders can be detectedbefore the fetus is nine weeks\" or \"When genetic testing is done,all prenatal inherited and genetic disorders cannot bedetected before the fetus is nine weeks.\" Your end goal (FinalPaper) is to support your hypothesis with your research. Or you mayfind that your research does not support your hypothesis and thatwill be your conclusion.
