    1.5 Behaviour Setting Analysis

    1.5 Behaviour Setting Considering the context of child care centers, much of a child's time is spent in unbalanced and unstructured learning situations, with several children working on different areas at once, some with a teacher, some on their own or in small groups with their peers. Well-defined behaviour settings are areas limited to one activity, but not completely cornered off from rest of the activity spaces.

    Case Study: A-Binoojii Daycare In Crandon

    A-Binoojii Daycare in Crandon has gone through many changes over the past couple of months including moving into a new building and hiring new teaching staff. During our time working together, the teaching staff identified a need to work on the environment and especially how to best set it up to support their lesson plans as well as the children’s individual and group goals. This has been all new work for the staff and they have been working hard to consider ways that they can be creative in utilizing a new, but relatively small space. We spent time looking specifically at developmentally appropriate practice as it relates to exploration and play being supported in the environment as well as how that looks in action.

    Urban Psychology

    The quality of classroom or child care environment has been determined as a large factor in the success of a child in school for two reasons: One, the level of instruction provided by the teacher to the child in reading and math, along with other core competencies, seemed to be improved with higher quality classrooms and two, behavioral problems seemed to decrease when children were placed within a higher quality classroom (Burchinal, 2010). The higher quality versus the lower quality of classroom had a significant effect on both the instructor as well as the child. Perhaps due to the nicer nature of the higher quality classrooms, both the student and the instructor felt called to a higher code of behavior than when placed in a classroom that may not be as clean, new, or resource filled. While nothing changed other than the location of the interaction between the teacher and the child, the environment of the classroom effected change upon both individuals, highlighting the ability of a surrounding to alter the action of the…
