Observations and Measurements

1. Age and gender: Amy is a 15 year old sophomore in high school. 2. Relationship to the child: Amy is a neighbor of mine. I will be observing her getting tutored for an hour. 3. How I got permission to observe: I spoke to Amy’s parents and asked if I could observe her getting tutored for a class assignment. I showed her parents the assignment and all the details. They reviewed the assignment and agreed. We also checked with Amy and asked if she would be comfortable getting observed. Since…

On 03/08/2018, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Charmetha White conducted a telephone interview with Child, Areonah Walker DOB:07/29/2003 Age: 14. Areonah will be referred to as Child #2 (C2) for the remainder of this report. LPA asked C2 did she like being at the facility? C2 said yes, it’s ok and the staff are nice. LPA asked C2 if the facility gives her chores to do? C2 said no, she only cleans her room. LPA asked C2 if the staff allowed the children to use cleaning materials. C2 said no,…

multiple mutated larvae, they used behavioral analysis to determine the responsiveness of each larva. As a control, they tested normal, wild-type flies to determine the four responses that could be consistently reproduced. They interpreted their observations from the behavioral analysis by using a scoring system in which each successful response scored a 1 and there were four trials, resulting in a maximum touch-response score of 16. Within the behavioral analysis, the dependent variable was the…

This week’s group dynamics class had us outside the “fishbowl” observing the other group. We were to make observations while the other group is attempting to build a tower which needed to be freestanding without any sort of support for a given time. I believe the length of time was about a minute, but then that is pretty long, and so, I am unsure as I can’t remember. Another crucial aspect was that the tower was to be built out of raw spaghetti and marshmallows. In terms of group dynamics and…

three years old that had recently transitioned into the classroom. As I was conducting my observation I also observed that when a conflict arose with C.P. most of the times it was not addressed by any of the staff members. Most of the time there busy trying to assist other children with challenging behaviors. • What might you be able to infer about the child’s play from what you observed? Based on the observations I have gathered C.P. seems to be the leader in several activities. C.P. had a…

OD Initiatives Well known in the engineering and automobile industry for his creations of ignition systems, electric starters, and car lighting, Charles F. Kettering – former Head of Research at General Motors famously stated, “A problem well-stated is a problem half-solved” (Barker & Harding, 1992). On the surface, engineering and Organization Development (OD) may appear to have nothing in common; after all engineering’s primary focus is on the design of components to develop and deliver…

Observations about people around you are made each and every day and whether the observations are intentional or not, the findings of this data help to show and interpret the general personality of that person. We are unconsciously observing as we are performing actions, having conversations and living our daily lives but yet we are different from ones whose profession is to constantly observed humanistic behaviors and analyze why these behaviors are occurring. While an everyday human might…

Observation is a process of observing or monitoring through noting or recording people or specific situations (Palaiologou, 2013). Observation is a method widely used in most if not all early-years settings by practitioners to collect evidence or track a child’s learning journey. It is also used to inform planning. Roberts – Holmes (2011) acknowledges the expectation of Early Years professional’s use of observations set by the Early Years Foundation Stage. Observation is also a key method used…

power of scientific observation . Holmes knows that the scoundrels will leave behind clues that will eventually lead to their arrest. For Holmes the challenge In all of his cases, is the uniqueness of the clues and circumstances. Throughout the case, Sherlock Holmes uses his Five senses to gather Information and Clues. He carefully examines any out of place hints and listens carefully to what suspects have to say. Since his information is based on his Five senses, his observations are…

relational continuity constructional units (151) used when the employee expressed that she had to go back to work. Both the mother figure and the son figure stood of to hug her, but the younger teenage daughter remained sitting. Instead, the worker standing stroked the head of the girl sitting – a nonverbal action of haptics (76) which spoke volumes. I took special notice of how each table ended their conversations. I noticed that hugging was more common between females, while a more accepted…
