Naturalistic Observation In The Classroom

Nowadays most of students have cell phones as a way to communicate with others.but sometimes they can get distracted by these devices in class. Schools should require cell phones to be turned off and putting away during class, so students would focus more on assignments and information provided by the instructor.

From personal experience, I can say that high school students are going to have cell phones in class regardless of the punishments associated with getting caught; the main reason is that they seldom get caught. With one teacher and roughly thirty students, it is easy to sneak by the teacher’s gaze and send a text message here or there or find the score to the big game that you missed. Michael Rich, pediatrician and media expert, says, “Pandora’s box is open here… What we need to do is take control of them instead of them control us” (Teachers vs. Texting). To help reduce these disruptions from occurring, we need to incorporate cell phones into high school classroom with the other technologies to promote interactive and kinesthetic learning.

Learning when the appropriate time to socialize or activate cell phones can create responsibilities by having a consequence if cell phones aren't used at a suitable time. Being responsible and constructing responsibility is when students will comprehend when and when not to mobilized on there cell phones. Aside from, rivals say that students are most likely to lose their cell phones. In the meantime, students would be responsible and put it in a safe place at the appropriate time. In the long run, cell phones should be kept with students so it can help develop

In order to study human development and perform naturalistic observation I went to the mall. I selected a 9-year-old white girl as the subject for my observation. I observed the subject for 30 minutes. During my observation the subject was not interrupted and was not aware of my study.

2. The hypothesis of the article “effects of classroom cell phone: use on expected and actual learning”, is if a person will get distracted if they are using their phone while doing an activity.

PS. 45 is a school in in Staten Island New York, serving 900 students, 61% of the students are economically disadvantaged. This is a diverse school where 5% of students are Asian, 17% Black, 48% Hispanic and 27% White. They have a population of English Language Learners that take up 6% and 23% of the school's population have disabilities. I am observing a 4th grade classroom at P.S. 45. This class is a general education class with 26 students, two of these students are English language learners and two others struggle with focusing. There are also a number of students in the class that need extra support.

I am currently observing Mr. Grove’s AP Biology class. This class occurs in the first hour of school, and the students clearly show tiredness. This results in the students being laid back and calm, but after discussing with Mr. Grove (and the interview form), we have determined that cell phone usage during lecturing was the negative behavior that he noticed throughout the hour. Mr. Grove did not have a specific student in mind, so I arrived yesterday to observe the students and determine which student used their cell phone the most. One student in particular had their phone out six times during the lecture period. For the sake of privacy, I will be identifying this student by her initials “CG.” Since this student uses her phone for short periods

Even more importantly, I think that we should be able to have our phones whenever we want at Grant Middle School. I think this because of safety, responsibility, and preparation for the real outside world. “Why do we panic when our phones fall,but when are friends fall we laugh” a quote by Google. One connection I had was,when my track & field coach said if you didn’t bring your clothes you have to sit out next meet. I called my mom and didn’t have to sit out. One counterclaim is,there could a huge test were if you fail, you're done for at least six weeks,and you're on the phone playing a game. One way to pursue us of having our phones in class is everybody sign a petition.What would you do if you agree to have our phones in

Many students have used their cell phones to share answers to tests and quizzes, and to report inaccurate and offensive information about other students and their school. Cell phones can be distractions in the school environment, evading classroom time and reducing student’s academic success.

cell phone rings on academic performance. After completing the study, they said, “Findings indicated that cell phone rings during a video presentation impaired academic performance. Specifically, participants in the ringing condition performed worse on disrupted test items and were less likely to have recorded pertinent test information” (End, Worthman, Matthews, & Wetterau, 2010, p. 55-57). The study shows that just the ringer on a cell phone alone can have an impact on how a student takes notes. However, not everyone thinks that cell phones are a bad idea. Authors Kevin Thomas and Blanche Obannon wrote an article titled ‘Cell Phones in The Classroom: Preservice Teachers’

Conducting classroom observations are very important to the prospective teacher. Observing helps show how experienced teachers manage their classroom. For this observation it was important to notice how the classroom was arranged, how the teacher interacted with the students, the teacher’s management style, and interview the teacher.

Many teachers believe that cell phones don’t belong in a classroom because there are several disadvantages. An example maybe a student who uses a cell phone in class has no intension in listening or paying attention to the teacher. This student has a short attention span who cares about socializing more than his/her education. Cell phones can be very disruptive; they can invade people’s privacy and can also be used as harassment or bullying. The usage of cell phones is creating a huge problem particularly when they are used in school.

People in many schools regularly sneak around on their cell phones, trying to hide them from

Phones being allowed in the classroom are tempting for students. Students feel a vibration in their pockets and feel the need to check their phones. Apps for example snapchat will flash the camera light when the student receives a snap from someone.

Classroom observation is a main approach of teaching research. Scholars or researchers use video to record the real whole class and observe the teachers and students’ actions, words and the efficiency in the class. Though the observation, they analyze what approach is more suitable. This paper will select video 5 and video 3 as the material to do the classroom observation. Different aspects such as teachers’ responds, questions, instructions notes and students’ behavior will be addressed to analyze the efficacy of this class.
