This is a topic for a research paper that i plan to do. I designed the topic myself. Is the sentence structured well or do I need to make some changes??....please provide your feedback I would greatly appreciate it...thanks.
The research topic reads as follows:
The Progressive Teaching Method has a more positive impact on childhood development than the Traditional Teaching Method

If this is a Thesis Statement, it needs some tweaking. Here is a suggestion:
When compared to traditional methods of teaching, the progressive method displays (shows, has been shown to, etc) more positve impacts on childhood development.
(I agree with the others; you should be sure of your use of capitalization)

I am not sure it's in proper form at all for the topic of a research paper because it declares a conclusion. In my mind, a topic for a paper should not state the conclusion but rather pose an unknown to be explored in the research.
My restatement would go like this:
"The progressive or the traditional teaching method - An examination of the more positive impact on childhood development."

It sounds a little akward, I would delete the "a" before "more."
Also, I would remove "positive" because "has more impact" already has a positive connotation.
So perhaps use:
"The Progressive Teaching Method has more impact on childhood development than the Traditional Teaching Method."

Make it into a question. Does the progressive teaching method have a more positive impact on children's development than the traditional teaching method? Then proceed to give the pros and cons of each one.

I don't believe Progressive Teaching Method and Traditional Teaching Method need to be in caps. I would also put a comma after development.

Too many capital letters. The sentence is all right. But is it deep? Progressive is supposed to be better than traditional..Should you not be using a more prescise term than positive impact?

It is fine, although it needs a period at the end. Do the names of the teaching methods require capitalization? You might check your text and see if the names are capitalized there.
I also might use "child" or "personal" development rather than "childhood."

The only thing I would avoid is using initial caps for words or phrases that really are not proper nouns. Unless you are specifically referring to some published work with that title, methods of teaching are not proper nouns. Otherwise, seems fine to me.
