Observations and Measurements

This observation was supposed to take place someplace outside of my comfort zone. Outside of my comfort zone would typically be any place outside of my home town Islip.

To begin my observations, I parked my car in the parking lot and peered out my windows. In front of me was a black Chevy SUV. In the car I noticed there was a red bandana hanging from the rear…

I was thinking that observation is one of most important elements in teaching young children. Even if I knew that it is important, I did not know the methods and skills to observe the children. By spending time in the classroom every week doing observations helped me a lot to practice and gain the right skills to observe a child. I was able to catch more behaviors in children that I have not noticed before because I was more cautious and tried to see in details of children’s behaviors.…

The purpose of a child observation undertaking is to understand the human developmental process; to practice observational skills and to improve information-gathering technics as well as to illustrate the ability to analyze and apply learnt developmental theories.

Live Observation Coding- January 25, 2018 The class we observed was Mr. Morris’s third grade class at Sunset Hill. The class was fairly small with a total of eighteen students. The PE class ran a total time of forty-five minutes. When the children walked in the room, I could already tell that Mr. Morris had an entry routine with specific expectation of class. I could tell that the kids’ attention was on us as guests and Mr. Morris addressed it at the beginning; however, after a while the kids…

In the classroom, they have four teachers and 23 students during my observation. The children were in the meeting area. in this activity, only 11 students participate it because the other students were working on a different project.

He suggests in its stead “inquisitive observation” or “participant questioning,” which describes the rigorous and thorough process much more accurately (21). The two important points he implores to support his ideas are…

For the second section of my portfolio, I decided to observe several different people eating, in two different settings. I decided to first observe my friends, then my family, being that they are both very different. First, I went to Dunkin Doughnuts with my friends, just to get some drinks. Upon arriving, the atmosphere was very relaxed, and there were numerous people having casual conversations. After we all received our drink, we went to sit outside on the patio, to enjoy the fresh air. Once…
