Observation

model moon. Students were placed in cooperative groups of two to four students for this engineering activity. For this clinical supervision process, I used the Framework for Teaching form F for pre- and post-conferences and form G for the formal observation summary. These forms analyzed areas of planning and preparation, the classroom environment, and the instruction. They also help the teacher to reflect on instructional goals, differentiation, engaging students in their learning, and the…

Observation Assignment Whiling analyzing the Caring and Sharing group, ages 3-5, the classroom setting played a major role in the amount and type of data that was able to be collected. The classroom was setup in an L shaped design. Throughout the room were different play stations offering opportunity for the children to find something that spiked their particular interests. Stations included technology such as computers, kitchen toys, playhouses, blocks, toy trucks, play doo and more.…

were all informed that each individual student had to observe eight to ten hours of people interacting within our topic. Once all the observations were complete the groups were meant to reform and create a presentation that would inform the class on their findings. The rest of this paper contains all of our group 's protocols and results. Before we started observation, we had to answer some questions. These questions can be broken down simple into who, what, where, when, how, and who is…

upper edge of the eye orbit. The first time this observation took place, the results were that the edge was blunt. There was another observation done on the same part of the skull and the final determination of the shape of the upper edge of the eye is that it has a sharp edge. This qualitative observation points to the skull being from a female. The next observational test was conducted on the actual shape of the eye orbit. Two analytical observations was executed and both of them resulted with…

The setting of my 2nd focus child was a Little Bucs in the preschool room (Inventors) in the classroom, but we did visit the ETSU library during my first observation. They are 48 months-60 months. I observed a 48 month old, male. I will refer to the student I observed as "P." I observed from 10:00-11:30 both sessions. The classroom was reasonably big, but the floor was opened with toys and an upstairs area where the students can go and hang up there. However, because of how the room was set up,…

Choosing the kids for my observation was hard. For I was introduced to so many good children. Each who was fun to watch and see not just how they learn, but how they interact with each other. I have first chosen a pair of best friends Max and Leo. Max is a 4-year-old boy who loves to talk with friends every chance he gets. 4-year-old Leo is the same, but plays while he talks to the other kids. Along with another kid named Lilly. Lilly is a 4-yaer-old girl who is a bit of a Fashionista, she loves…

theory which enables a greater knowledge and understanding of development, coupled with parental observation; early identification is hindered. This is further highlighted by Wieringa (2011) who discusses the importance of Schön’s (1983) theory of ‘reflection-in-action’ using the knowledge gained by the practitioner to influence changes needed in provision. Therefore following the analysis of observation one and further discussions with parent/ teacher with regards to Thomas’s first and second…

playing video games online with his classmates and friends, while having dinner. The child who is a boy is 13 years old and is in 8th grade, is also my little brother. There are nobody else in the living room but him, the dog and I. Objective observation: The child takes a bite of his meal almost every two min, holding the control with his left hand the spoon with his right hand. He pause for two-second chewing his food to finish his mission on the video game. One minute after he…

I arrived at the nursery gates late for my first observation, which was not a positive note to start on. I composed myself then rang the doorbell, the gate unlocked and walked through the playground toward the nursery reception. I had been looking forward to this opportunity all day and finally the time had come. I was greeted by and unfamiliar face that introduced themselves as the manager, then I introduced myself. She asked me which child I would be observing and which room then she escorted…

The impact on of being observed The impact of the observation on the Amy might have contributed to what is known as the Hawthorn effect (cited in Maclean and Baker 2013) and Amy may have changed her behaviour knowing she was been observed. My reflections ‘in action’ were feelings of confusion, the process of allowing two professional strangers inside your property making judgements while Amy waited outside for me. Reflecting with criticality did she modify her behaviour so I could observe her…
