One paragraph with (resources and citations regarding the questions only)Discussion 1 The purpose of this discussion is to arrive at a comprehensive description of the value of research in human development so that you can make use of the ideas in the readings as you begin work on your course project.

Research is an integral part of any science. After reading this unit’s studies, it may be clearer to you that the scientific method as outlined in your text sets the stage for methodological inquiry. The systematic study of a topic is also affected, as the author notes, by constructs that lend value to the understanding of research, such as culture, philosophy, and experience. The fundamental basics of research are supplemented by approaches that incorporate life experiences, meanings, and expectations. For your initial post in this discussion, consider these ideas, and respond thoughtfully to these questions:

What aspects of our lives and experiences would change if all research in human development stopped today?

How would this affect understanding and the possibilities of predicting human development issues?
