The memorable experience of published research on adolescent development
Abstract
The education system has served as a key component of adolescent development, whether through traditional learning, peer-tutoring programs, or objective-specific programs. The production of scientific publications of students at Crescent School offered a unique experiential learning opportunity, where students not only learned about study design, data collection, statistical analyses and manuscript writing but also valuable lessons of work ethic, organizational skills, and interpersonal skills. The students have cited the experience as a memorable experience during their adolescent development.
