A frequency recording is according to McIntyre (n.d.), “a simple counting of how many times a behavior occurs during a designated period of time”. I have actually had to use a frequency count-type observation for a new student this year. Some background information on this student was that he was a second grader who used to live in the inner city of New York. His mental health was questionable and was assessed/observed the whole time he attended our school. After numerous observations, he was seen unfit to be in a traditional classroom and therefore we provided a teacher to go to his house every day to conduct his lessons. For this specific observation, the duration of the time was the whole time that he was in my class, which was 45
* Time sampling - Observations of children are recorded at fixed regular intervals of time to note what is happening at that moment. For example children's play during a morning can be recorded every 15 minutes.
Similar to the study by (Author 2), a study by (Author 3) looked at time use and academic outcomes. Good use of time can be related to motivation, while academic outcomes can be seen as a students GPA. The study found that the number of hours studying was
Observations and assessments can help the teacher plan activities that take into account the individual needs of the children. They also show how a child is developing. In my setting the teacher uses observations when planning and we complete narrative observations on a daily basis.

period to complete each in-class quiz. Each quiz will be graded based on 50 points.
The frequency is not defined, so it might be weekly or quarterly. Also the type of measure used is not defined, so long as the information is helpful for the teacher in making adjustments to instruction in an ongoing manner. It could be as simple as classroom observations, a fluency test, or a full diagnostic assessment.
Another is to monitor the progress of a course of treatment. • A method for sampling pain behaviour techniques for sampling and recording behaviour include continuous observation, measuring duration (how long the patient takes to complete a task), frequency counts (the number of times a target behaviour occurs) and time sampling (for example, observing the patient for five minutes every hour). • Definitions of the behaviour: observers need to be completely clear as to what behaviours they are looking for.
This observation method is used to look at how often and in what circumstances a child shows a particular behaviour such as biting. It can also be used to find out about how often a child talks or plays with other children.
Event samples – These are used to record the pattern and frequency of a particular behaviour and are often used when there are some concerns. They will give an idea of how often and the background as to why the problem may be occurring. The observation only happens when the behaviour is occurring and so event samples can be carried out over a longer period of time.
FREQUENCY:Frequency of a signal can be defined as the total number of cycles completed in one second . It is measured in Hertz.
This week I was observed during a particularly challenging math lesson. My lesson was elapsed time. My hope was to successfully try Sherry Parish’s, Number Talks method that Sabine Smead at Boulder County School for Integrated Studies, had introduced and modeled for us the week before at Friday Seminar.

Recording Scatterplot it identifies patterns of behavior, which relate to specific contextual conditions. A Recording Scatterplot is a chart or grid that an observer accounts for a series of events (e.g., Billy’s questions and the teacher’s retorts) or a single event (Frequency of singing the “I Love Lucy” theme song) that occur within a specific contextual context (during quite reading time, during the teachers lectures). A scatterplot is versatile in that it can take many forms, dependent on the behavior in question (physical/social context).
The highest frequency is noted under personal observations, with the second highest frequency falling under reports from others. Projects or activities indicate the third highest frequency with documents having the fourth highest overall frequency. Other sources and no evidence were selected the least.
The first day of my observation hours I went for around 4 hours and I realized that it was kind of hard for the students to realize that I am at college and that I am here to observe and participate in teaching lessons with the teacher. I observed an Honors Algebra class that was on a block schedule around 1 hour long. I really enjoyed and loved the fact that these were block schedule classes because I would see
