Processes that are a part of initial
observations
1.Identifying characteristics of
individual children
Noting general characteristics of children
Describing how the group functions
Assessing how the children respond to you
Considering new information in the light of specialized knowledge
Having a purpose for your observations
The aspects identified during observation:
Areas of development
Physical, cognitive, social,
emotional, moral
Knowledge of developmental areas provides you with information that allows you to ask a lot of questions and consider how you may respond to children in ways that help them learn.
the children’s knowledge
skills and
procedures,a system of interrelated concepts
understandings, constructions,
information, facts, stories, songs, legends and the like
the knowledge and skills a community considers necessary for adults in their society to have
the particular skills and strategies used in learning and
interacting
Verbal and communication skills, social skills,thinking, reasoning and problem-solving skills
Skills inherent in the
development of literacy and numeracy
Skills associated with creating, constructing and expressing ideas
the children’s dispositions
cooperativeness or quarrelsomeness
a desire to make friends or to learn
5 domains of learning dispositions that should be fostered
Taking an interest in aspects of the early childhood setting that might be the same or different from home; coping with transition and changing situations
Being involved at an increasingly complex level
Persistence with difficulty or uncertainty; an interest in ‘learning’ and a capacity to risk error or failure
Communicating with others, expressing a point of view, an idea or an emotion
Taking increasing responsibility in a range of ways
the children’s feelings
The value of viewing circumstances not merely from an adult's perspective, but also from the standpoint of a kid, particularly one who is ashamed, shy, or vulnerable.
We can become sensitive to behavior that reflects sentiments even if we are unable to observe some feelings firsthand.
the dynamics of a group of children
We are a social setting in which people's personalities, ideas, qualities, and emotions come together to produce the group's dynamics.
4 ways in which
accountability can be achieved.
Keeping the data transparent
By ensuring that enough information is available for other staff and families to understand or propose an alternate interpretation
Ensuring that a range of interpreters have their say
By having a group of staff members gather observations or "learning stories" about a single child, discuss their interpretations, and decide what to do next collectively.
Refining the constructs as they appear locally
By establishing a shared interpretation of a certain observable behavior.
Being clear about the connection between the learner and the
environment
Taking into account the nature of the child's contact with the environment
Observations can be used in curriculum
decision-making to:
Provide supportive and responsive learning environments
If you want to establish conducive learning settings, you must leverage the knowledge gained from observations.
This understanding not only assists you in determining whether the experience you're preparing is acceptable, but it can also assist you in planning how to organize the environment so that children can fully participate in the activity and be as independent as possible while remaining safe.
Understand specific behaviour
Focused observations of a kid's problematic behavior may assist identify elements that cause certain behaviors, as well as conditions that help the child regulate or improve the behavior.
