In this assessment task you have just 700 words to write an integrated and critical analysis that will showcase your research, integration, critical analysis and writing skills. In this brief literature review you are required to: a) Identify an important social issue that is yet to be adequately addressed in Australian society. Ideally, this issue would be one dealt with at your placement, although this is not mandatory. b) Locate and critically evaluate a body of literature related to this social issue and communicate this clearly, coherently and concisely in your review. These are core skills specified by the Australian Psychological Society for graduate psychologists. c) In the review, you must integrate literature from at least four psychology sub-disciplines. Some psychology sub-disciplines you may wish to consider are listed below. If you are interested in other sub-disciplines, you may want to speak to your tutor about additional ideas. i. Animal behaviour ii. Clinical psychology iii. Cognition iv. Developmental psychology v. Emotion vi. Evolutionary psychology vii. Health psychology viii. Learning and behaviour ix. Neuropsychology x. Biopsychology xi. Organisational psychology xii. Perception xiii. Personality psychology xiv. Psychology of relationships xv. Social psychology d) You have just 700 words. You may choose to write about each discipline separately or to integrate knowledge across disciplines as they relate to each point you make. Either way, there must be a critical evaluation of what you present and evidence that you have integrated the knowledge from the 4 disciplines into a more holistic understanding of the issue. Usually this would be easier to demonstrate by illustrating essay points with examples from a range of psychology sub-disciplines than by dealing with each sub-discipline separately. Critical criteria in the assessment of your Literature Review and Proposal include the integration of knowledge from various psychology disciplines, synthesis of this knowledge, critical analysis of what you have read, and the clarity of the arguments put forward. These are all highly important graduate skills. Word length: Your Literature Review and Proposal should be no more than 700 words and conform to the following formatting guidelines: double-spaced, 12-point font (Times New Roman), margin of 2.5 or 2.54 centimetres. The word length includes in-text referencing, but does not include the reference list at the end or the title page. You DO NOT need to include an Abstract with your literature review. Minimum 12-16 references HAS to be used! can be more if needed. " My placement is going to be at Wesley mission - aunties & uncles, working with children in difficult situations at home. If you could find and " Identify an important social issue that is yet to be adequately addressed in Australian society. " that has something to do with children in difficult house situations or the child care system, that would be great. And then use 4 of the psychology sub-disciplines listed above - very important. Referencing in APA style please. DO NOT use the example on the photo I have attached, which is "Long-term outcomes for children with learning difficulties". please find another topic. also IMPORTANT: You have to critique/refer to theories or studies in the review as well, not just mention different sub discipline, but try to mention them together and make a clear point of them. READ the attached photo of the rubric and be guided from what should be in this Lit. Review. Thank you
