DESCRIPTION:There are many flaws with how researchers in the social scienc
 es have classically estimated change/development in longitudinal studies. 
 One consistent issue has been the predominance of variable-centred researc
 h\, which\, in most cases\, fails to account for the heterogeneity of popu
 lations. These approaches also tend to focus on the relationship between l
 atent constructs\, rather than the individuals we seek to understand. Late
 nt Transition Analysis is a person-centred\, longitudinal approach\, which
  seeks to address both of these issues. It does this by modelling the late
 nt subgroups within a sample and then estimating the probability of each i
 ndividual moving between these groups over time. \n\nThis short seminar wi
 ll provide a brief overview of Latent Transition Analysis with a focus on 
 the types of questions it is well situated to address and the research des
 ign necessary to implement it. Three ongoing studies will be presented: on
 e under review\, one recently submitted and a third currently under constr
 uction. Two of these studies focus on learning strategies in higher educat
 ion and the third examines the development of elementary school students
 ’ motivation to study. \n	\n\n
