Observations and Measurements

school as a whole, and the students’ socioeconomic status on student behavior and ability/desire to learn. The first thing I took note of during my observation was the surrounding community. I collected this information by taking a driving tour of the area…

It is necessary to understand what culture is before attempting to observe the actions of people. If not I will be looking at the situation through the eyes of a customer and not an observer. Culture is the ideas and behaviors that are learned and transmitted by nongenetic means (Park, 2014). The advance in technology from written language, government to man-made objects are merely the product of culture (anthro.palomar.edu). Artifacts discovered are the reflection of the knowledge and skills of…

and instructional coaching that I am selecting with my collaborative colleague are modeling the lesson for the teacher and observing the teacher teach the lesson.

When I arrived at Herty Elementary my first place of observation was the gymnasium. There the children of the autism class were playing a basketball game with the normally developing children. I noticed that while each student waited for their turn many were completely in their own world, and not fully focused on the game. Many of them needed a reminder that it was their turn. Despite this, they all participated in the game well during their turn. After gym, we were able to observe the kids…

form of naturalistic observation, “in which some naturally occurring behavior is observed without intervention in the situation” (Feldman, R.S., 2015, p. 27). On September 26th, 2016, an observer secretly watched a young, African American mother and her nine month old, female infant at the chain store BuyBuyBaby in Central Park, Fredericksburg, Virginia. For about an hour, from 15:00 to 16:00, the observer followed this mother and child throughout the store. Some of the observations witnessed…

common for him to forget about what he was talking about half way through a sentence and physically try to regain his recollection only to be silent if he could not and try to play off embarrassment by directing our attention else where. Overall the observation of the toddler was nothing out of the ordinary, although we never really talked about speech development in class, it seemed to be a pretty standard characteristic within the children…

How were the data analyzed? The study was conducted for a year with investigations carried out in classes for teachers that applied them. Some of it was also used ? Analytical induction was used to analyze the observations and interviews and scan the data for possible themes and relationships. Some taped interviews and audios captured were also used in the study and helped in the modification of the hypothesis for various classroom interactions. 5. What were the…

Observation Paper: Early Childhood Purpose The purpose of this assignment is to observe a child between the ages of 2-16, while reviewing which stages of development they are in. By observing the child it helps retain information correlating with the class by having to go back and remember what was discussed. Understanding development is important because then you are aware which stages a child should be in. Learning all of this will come in handy if the decision is made to have children someday…

For the observation project, I chose to do my research at Wisconsin Athletic Club daycare where I watched a 6-year old girl named Maya. Maya is in 5k and is a bright young girl with an outgoing personality. I observed Maya in a daycare setting with newborns to children 13 years of age. The daycare contained a large amount of toys and activities for the children to engage in. Maya was surrounded by children a few years younger than her, and only had a few other 6 year olds to play with. Over the…
