Interviewees included Morah’s mother and father who were the main sources of information. The location that the observation(s) took place at was 7026 Bathurst Street, Zareinu Educational Centre of Metropolitan Toronto.

Observations are important tool to Social Work practise as it lets you identify any milestones that haven’t been achieved that the child at the specific age should be meeting. It also lets the observer know if the child is exceeding their milestones and is developing faster than their peers (Fawcett, 2009, pg. 3, 2nd Ed). It’s always essential to observe as a social worker as you do many assessments and observing helps you stand back and reflect on how far the child has come from the first observation you did and report on it. This could be to do progression with language development or fine motor skills. Fawcett (1996, pg.3) states that observing is important because it helps ‘notice what might otherwise be overlooked’.

A new process for release medications was being discussed and was to “go live” shortly after the audit. The process was for prescriptions to be faxed to local pharmacies on discharge with the released inmate being able to pick them up from that local pharmacy.

The following are my observations of the human whom I tended most recently. I am now confident that with my guidance, they will follow the right path.

To begin, Henry undoubtedly displays a certain level of self-efficacy. HE has always, “…believed that with enough hard work and intelligence, any problem can be solved”. This reflects Henry’s high degree of self-efficacy with the belief that he can overcome any obstacle if he tries hard enough. At his law firm, he was offered a partnership after five years due to his impressive work ethic, and his ability to, “…balance multiple cases and clients”. An effect of self-efficacy that Henry demonstrates is selection. Since he has a high sense of self-efficacy he chooses to take on more challenging tasks such as billing eighty hours per week, which he initially did to work towards his partnership. However, he demonstrates great effort and persistence

Last spring I was interviewed and chosen to represent my school at Utah Girls State. This program, sponsored and directed by the American Legion Auxiliary, provides the opportunity for girls all across Utah to understand in much greater detail how our government is run. Graduating has many requirements, such as: participating as a citizen, voting in all elections, one public speech, holding a government position, upholding moral standards, completing a workbook, and writing three essays on various topics. In essence, I spent a week at Weber State creating a society and government with my peers, while learning and performing the functions thereof.

You mention how people tend to conform based on the actions of others and use the example of how people may conform to the actions of police officers since they are a group that is viewed as more powerful, compared to the general population. However, I can also think of a few examples where people may act out and defy the police, which may be in part caused by the power of observation, rather than the power of being accepted/avoiding punishment. According to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), research consistently shows that minorities are more likely to view law enforcement as suspicious and distrusting compared to their white counterparts, which may be correlated with the high instances of minorities reporting that they feel the police

This idea was developed from a video where the experiment was mentioned. After doing more research, this experiment was modified, and then chosen. 10 boys and 10 girls were used so that it would be equal and so that there would be enough data to draw a conclusion.

After a preliminary literature review, I decided to use an observation study approach will be used. Teachers would observe and record incidents of participants’ demonstrated functional skills and behaviors in the classroom and parents would observe and record the frequency and levels of participants’ level of participation and self-advocacy related to their post high school plans. The observations will be recorded over four grading periods during the 10-month school year. As the investigator, I will train teachers and parents how to infer which rating score based on observed behaviors. Frequency (f) counts will be used to record the number of incidents in which participants demonstrated their level of functional skills development using questionnaires

While conducting this experiment a variety of volumes and capacities were taken by several subjects of different ages and genders who were either physically active or inactive. When looking at the subjects ages as stated in the results we can see that all subjects lie between the same age group of 20.6 to 21.6 years of age. These ages included all subjects whether it be male or female. One subjects age or physical activity was not mentioned; therefore, their data was not included in the analysis given it could skew the data since it would not be clear where to include their data into. Given that all the ages of the subjects are around the same we can easily analyze the data given not much variation will or should occur unless they are

There are many different things that you can get from observations. The purpose of observation is to understand the child and their developmental progress. You are able to observe all developmental domains in the classroom. You can observe physical development from fine motor to gross motor activities. You can also see the interactions with peers and adults as well as their interactions with their classroom materials and environment. These interactions allow us to watch the child’s communication, explorations, problem solving, movement and coordination as well as their feelings about self, and personal connections. This can help us see how they establish relationships with peers and adults also. You are able to learn about their personalities, temperaments, interests, dislikes, strengths and challenges. We are also able to see what types of skills the child needs to practice.

The concept of observational learning is very complex. While some don’t believe it, some only live by it. The reason why I chose to talk about this type of learning in particular is because I use it myself in my everyday life. Observational learning is a new concept that schools should start trying to break the standard of basic learning. Observational learning keeps kids interested, but most importantly keeps them learning and making that knowledge impact them for years to come.

Spying on Janet for the past week has been interesting and very weird. I have observed many of her actions within class and they have been very similar everyday. Although she is a quite person, her intelligence really shows throughout the class period. Janet is a very interesting and noble person that is willing to learn.

In the Early Childhood Environment, educators use observation as a means of control of what each child does or says during a specific period of time, in as much intention detail as possible. Observation is used to discuss and analysis with other classroom teachers to build on learning experiences for children. Through observation Classroom teachers can identify early childhood children’s interests. Knowing what a children or a group of children like and respond to, can help teachers and children plan learning experience. For example, a group of children interested in animal and other activities, might plan a walk to find them, reveal where they live and what they eat. A child might be interested in different activity. Classroom teacher can chart the development of each child and for this classroom teacher should aware of the cognitive, physical, social and emotional development of each
