Observation Essay

this paper, I chose to observe my brother Matthew. He is 8 years old and currently in the third grade, with no applicable diagnosis. The setting of this observation was taken place at home on Sunday October 8th, 2017. The start time was precisely at 12:30 pm and extended for about two and a half hours, till 3 pm. The condition of the observation was fairly quiet, only my mother and I were present in the household. There were no distractions and his schedule allowed for him to stay at home due to

My observation was done in a Kindergarten classroom for 3 hour when the children were eating lunch and playing. What I observed a child sit down at the lunch table and, points across at some of the children at the table, loudly saying, “You are not my friend, you are not my friend, to another child. I also saw this child then direct particular children where they are a post to sit according to who is a “friend and who is not a friend”. I watched the children change seats as told by this child

In the interpretivist paradigm, observation is regarded as an invaluable method of data collection because it is a great source of primary data (Yin, 2011). According to DeWalt and DeWalt (2002) participant observation allows the researcher to learn about the activities of the participants being studied in the natural setting through observing and participating in those activities. Moreover, direct observation of activities assists the researcher to learn about aspects that the participants are either

1. Safe Environment: For the first part of my observation I noticed that the environment was not in the best shape that it could be, so I asked the program supervisor “John” why the environment looked like it was under repair and he explained that the whole school was under construction. Through my observation I did notice that for the most part the environment was safe, but it did have major hazards that concerned me. The environment had safe ratios, for example, in the specific class that I observed

optimistic feelings are essential because the administrator wants to build on the positive aspects of their teaching ability. Nonetheless, it is also important to keep in mind that every teacher can improve in some area. The administrator’s goal for observations should be to build a relationship with each member of the faculty so that offers of advice and ideas on how to improve in areas where refinement is needed can be given in a way that is comfortable for both parties. I chose to observe someone that

I used a combination of external observations, complete participant observation, and researcher and participant observations during the information session. Before the information session began, I went to the lobby and observed the clients while they were waiting. Most people decided to sit down and play with their phones while they waited to check in. This would be unobtrusive observation because the clients were not aware I was observing them or who I was in those moments. The lobby is a welcoming

For my observations I have observed children at a birthday party. The reason for this setting is I thought it would be appropriate to better visualize children washing their hands in the kitchen sink as oppose to going to a school. It is not possible to watch children wash their hands in any other place but a restroom at this facility. As I know school policies do not permit adults to enter or use children’s bathroom so that’s why I went to a birthday party. The date of the party was March 4, 2016

Final Reflection Introduction I completed my classroom observations at Burris. My first observation, was in a 7th grade science classroom, I observed there for two class periods.

On September 26th, I observed class due to an injury. During my observations, I found myself reflecting on what was happening in class at the moment and on my previous work in the class. I strongly feel that observing is beneficial to the study of dance because it forces students to study not only the professor but also their classmates and ways they can connect what they see to what they need to do themselves. During my observations, I noted many moments of instruction and critique that I can apply

students that I observed closely and even though they might were are being taught the same topic, their action help exemplify different concepts. They all don’t have the same perspectives and this helped me use and understand different ideas during my observation. Mrs. Morales has different little stools set up all over the classroom. Some of them are holding up a folder holder. Some are lined up against the wall when she asks them to come to the center of the classroom where the board is they promptly
