Personal Observation: How Children Behaved When Doing Work In Class

Usually around this time, the kids are outside with the staff’s (student worker) or the teacher. During this observation, all the children were outside on the playground. Being that they all know each other, everyone had someone to play with and nobody seems to be left out or felt alone while watching everyone having fun. Being that the children were all interacting with one other. There were about two children going up and down the slide, about three of them playing tag, couple of them who were playing by the door and a large group sitting in a circle. My main focus was the children sitting in a circle. While sitting in a circle, one of the boy within the group, decided to sing a Christmas song and then picked up a piece of log while acting as if he was playing the guitar for his peers. After singing alone for few minutes, three other children join him to

My observation for the spring semester was placed at Pine Richland High School. I was able to watch over John Dolphin’s twelfth grade British literature course. John Dolphin has been teaching at Pine Richland for the past eighteen years. I went to observe his class three times. Two out of three of those visits I was able to be at the school all day long to really get the feel of the way it is like to be at the school all day and seeing the difference of his eight classes. Throughout my time there I learned different strategies on how to keep the students involved, the way that a school of this size is ran, and the difference of how John taught compared to my previous observation teacher.

very hard to cope with a change, so it is important to let the child

Observation: Yesterday, in the morning, I was sitting on the floor, pretending that I was cooking something on the pot as I stir. “Child A” saw what I was doing and walked towards me. “Child A, come and see what I am cooking”, I said. She took the saucepan with the lid that was on the stove, sat down on the floor and put the saucepan down. She held on to the lid, opened it and closed it. I handed her the spoon that I was using and I took the pot and the spatula and showed her how to stir. “This is how we stir, “Child A”, I said. She started pounding the saucepan using the spoon that I gave her, making sounds. “Child B” heard the sound that “Child A” was making and saw what we are doing. “Child B” was looking at the pot and the saucepan that was on the floor as she crawls toward us. She sat on the floor beside me and opened and closed the pot twice. I opened my eyes wide and smiled, “Wow ‘Child B’ you are making sounds!”, I said. “Child B” looked at me and smiled back. I gave her the spatula and assisted her hand on how to stir. I took the kettle and the cups and put it on the floor. I sang, “This is the way we pour our drink” and pretended that I was from the cup. “Child A” took the other cup and drank from it. “Uh- oh! Out of your mouth, “Child A”, I said. Later that day, after their lunch, “Child C” went to the dramatic area and played with the kitchenware. I went to her and sang, “This is the way we stir our food” as I use the spoon to stir. She moved her head from left

The behavioral approach is the scientific study of the measurable aspects of human behavior. An example if this would be how people act differently when they believe they are being watched. In the “The Role of Scheduling in Observing Teacher-Child Interactions” the authors explain how scheduling appointments to observe teachers in their classrooms was effecting the results they were getting. “When one performs observations at scale, features of the protocol such as the scheduling of observations can potentially influence observed scores.”(Cash and Pianta P.1) The teachers knew they were being observed, so it made them perform better. Same with the students they knew they were being watched by an outside party, so they behaved better.

I went to read my book and I noticed that it was a way harder to read than it had been in days past. The teacher then told me to pay attention and I noticed that I could not see the teacher’s face as well as I usually could. Everything around me was blurry and I was nervous. I could not see the board or anything else in the class, I asked to go down to the nurse because I thought I just had low sugar, the teacher said, “Ok.”

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on 1/6/2016. I arrived at the operation which is located at 3422 Richmond Rd, Texarkana about 12:57 pm. I was greeted by Comekia Island, the person in charge while director was at lunch. I handed her business card and then explained the purpose of my inspection and reviewed the subchapters I would be observing. Roshonda Epps the director arrived approximately a hour later. When Epps arrived I handed her business card and then explained the purpose of my inspection and reviewed the subchapters I would be observing.

Prerequisites: CFS 38 or CFS 39 or PSYCH 101. Techniques in observing and recording development and behavior of school age children. Interpretation and reporting of observational data. Emphasis on children 6 to 13 years of age in diverse elementary school settings from developmental, ecological and systems perspectives. (3 hours lecture; 3 hour lab)

Per Reporter: The child is not attending school; the child has been out of school possibly three years. The child should be in the 7th grade. School started in that area 8/9/17. It is unknown of why the child hasn’t been enrolled in school. Camellia works with CPS in Kosciusko; the child is home alone during the day. It is unknown if there is adequate food and clothing in the home. The utilities are on. There is possibly a phone in the home in case of an emergency while the child is home alone. The reporter has not seen the child; however, Larry (victim’s father) last seen the child 8/5/7.

Behavior Observed: Upon entering the house Abby politely took my jacket and hung it up on a chair. She then ran up the stairs and asked me to come see her dollhouse. She identified every little thing in her dollhouse as she was showing it to me. She showed me the “windows”, “stove”, “soap”, “mantel”,

So by asking how the child is feeling today it lets me understand their mood and how well they can express what feelings they have. The more complex children would go about what they did that day and it made them feel. When asking how their day was comes a follow up question of, if anything had made their day better or worse. If they can describe that feeling they are showing self expression, which is good in an early child's life. Usually when it comes to bad moods or good modes its because some other child behavior toward them. Asking a child who the names of their friends are and what they look like is a great way to get the child to use their brains in examining how people look and act as friends. Now when asking a child about what foods

This paper will be about an observation to a child, and the different behaviors of the child. After watching the child I will study her physical, cognitive, and social development according to her age. That will give us an idea of how children should behave at a certain age. I will also compare the theories of some well-known theorists according to my child’s behavior.

There’s a lot of things that a student in certain positions could be thinking about, more enough that it could control their educational habits and how much they could pay attention depending on how motivated they could be. Teens have been accused of making the worst decisions in their stage of life, some of those decisions bringing them down more than they really want it to. Often times the feeling of being brought down comes from the classroom or the way things are at home, sometimes maybe both. Some kids tend to mask such a feeling better than others, ignoring the feeling completely or letting it bottle up over time. School, unfortunately, is a big thing in child’s life for it is apart of the process of what that child will grow into

The setting of the observation of the child was at an indoor town community pool in the town of Olathe, Kansas. The weather is hot and humid inside the pool area for this Saturday afternoon, around 1pm but cold and dreary outside. There are lounge chairs surrounding the pool as well as a few tables and chairs. There were quite a few people at the pool as well. Most of them were adults however there were about 4 other kids around the same age as Oliver and about 3 that looked around 7 or 8 years of age.

The following data was gathered while fulfilling duties as a principal intern at Theresa Bunker Elementary School. The data was observed during five to seven minutes of classroom observation as part of a walk-through in the spring of the current school year. My cooperating supervisor for my internship was able to go on these walk-throughs with me in order to have a productive reflection meeting afterwards. This elementary school has two of each grade level from Kindergarten to sixth grade. Since it was more feasible in this small school setting, I actually was able to do a walkthrough in eight classes. Here I will report my observations from five of those walk-throughs. As I went in to each room I was looking for four
