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…

Arguments for and against the existence of God have been around for thousands of years. Philosophers have been using arguments as an attempt to validate their beliefs. To do this, philosophers string together a series of statements to form different types of arguments, including deductive, inductive, a priori, and a posteriori arguments. Furthermore, a few philosophers use evidential approaches to establish the existence of God. Often, these approaches include pragmatics or direct perception,…

Introduction Clinical supervision is reflective of a symbiotic relationship between a supervisor and educator focuses on improving teacher practices. This ongoing process was developed out of need as both teachers and school leaders were dissatisfied with status quo of teacher development (Sullivan, ).One critical aspect of the clinical supervision process is conducting in depth classroom observations that generate reflection and growth. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and reflect…

The observation was conducted at the Center for Child and Family Studies. The observations of the children were conducted using two methods. The first method of observation was running record global observations. During this observation, the child is observed for a total of 5 minutes. This method involves recording everything in the order it happens with as much detail as possible. Specific behaviors are highlighted throughout the observation. The second method of observation was time sampling…

By observing the children you are able to conclude what resources are being used the most and what aren’t being used as much. This would allow you to then come up with ideas of what needs to be improved or changed in certain areas of the environment to maximise the children’s learning experiences. • During transition. Observations are used during transitions to make sure the children are not frightened or worried when they experience a change and are fully prepared and happy to welcome the…

The second observation was about Twizzlers, which the child determine if the Twizzlers have the same amount even if they are scattered or expanded. There were two different child. The first child was a five year old.

Today in class we discussed the Roper, Logan Tierney Model’s biological factors and Gibbs Reflection cycle. Our tutor explained RLT model is the theory of nursing care based on the activities of daily living. Similarly, the purpose of this theory is an assessment used throughout the patient’s care which might be in checklist format. (Roper-Logan-Tierney Model Of Nursing, 2013). Using Gibbs reflection cycle I am putting my views about the information I achieved from the class. After knowing about…

Observing young children interact with toys, peers, and themselves are all very important observations; however, one observation that is more vital is the child’s interaction with the teacher, paraprofessionals, teacher’s aids and any other adult in the child’s life during the school day. It can be hard for teachers to remain unbiased when recording the interaction between himself or herself and a child. Nevertheless, it is vital for these records to say unbiased because they help teachers pick…

Introduction In this paper, I will give account of my twenty field hours served at Oasis Católico Santa Rafaela for EDUC 2130. I will then take educational theories I learned about in class and apply them to experiences at Oasis Católico Santa Rafaela. This paper will explore Extrinsic Reinforcers, Atkinson’s Expectancy Theory, Scaffolding, and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Finally, I will reflect on the good afternoons spent tutoring at Oasis Católico Santa Rafaela. Oasis Católico Santa…
