How we study Human DevelopmentJust in any research, educators and educational scientists study Human development with the basic concept of observations. We observe students in their day to day life, in school or at home. Along with observations, we also interview/survey students to find out more intricate details about them that we can't see with the naked eye. Interviews and surveys are also given to people that interact with the student daily to give us more of an insight into their lives and ways of learning and developing. As to how educators test their theories that they study, we use three types of testing methods: Standardized, projective and neuropsychological. These three methods are different yet can provide similar outcomes. These methods are used because students develop differently and thus ew need different types of testing.
