"W" is tired because of the way he sits. If the class is at the rug, "W" tends to lie down or lean on his elbows. During recess, "W" was observed about three times per week during the observation period. Recess is always outside rain or shine and there is not a choice to play inside. During almost every observation, "W" was playing a game of four square with the same group of three boys. He seems well-coordinated. School-aged children are usually quite skilled at controlling their bodies and are
Participants were random men and women (M = 20, F = 21) who visited the food court once during the week and once during a weekend day at the Galleria Mall located in Rocklin, California. The participants did not know they were part of a correlation or observation test. The dependent variable in this test was whether or not men or women threw away their trash after they were done eating. A diverse set of random participants were observed for two days. Participants in group A were observed at the Galleria
February 5, 2016 I observed Ms. L pre-k classroom. I arrived in her classroom at 8:45 am and stayed until 9:45am. Ms. L was the only teacher present in her classroom, at the moment she doesn’t have an assistant teacher. At the beginning of the observation ten students were present. By 9:30am Ms. L had all twelve of her students present. The state ratio for a pre-k classroom is one to twelve, meaning one teacher can be with twelve students. However, if another teacher was present in the classroom
Definitions The qualitative data collection process can be through group discussion, personal journals, follow-up in-depth interviews, and researcher field notes (Tuckett, 2004). The observation represents the most critical method where the observer (researcher) carefully observes the verbal and non-verbal expressions of the observed (participants) (Polkinghorne, 2005). The data analyzing solutions research is not as common as gathering qualitative data for evaluation purposes (Thomas, 2006). Collecting
For my group observation I choose to observe Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT in a group setting for co-occurring adults. CBT was developed by Aaron T Beck in the 1960’s as a short term, structured, present-term psychotherapy for clients with depression (Rathod et al, 2015). It was geared toward solving current problems and modifying dysfunctional thoughts, and behaviors through use of the cognitive model. In the 1990’s CBT became more popular in dealing with the more serious and challenging mental
project the academic coaches and academic leaders will use “An Instructional Implementation Sequence for Attaining the CCSS Student Practices in Mathematics” from Hull, Balka, and Harbin Miles (2011) as a guiding document from which to base their observation and reflections. Coaches and leaders will look for patterns of growth in
1. Briefly describe the general theme you chose and two corresponding social scenes you observed: a. Describe the locales: Where are they? What are their physical layouts? b. Where were you located during the observations? c. When were you in the locations? (Date/time) d. Based on your own background knowledge, what kinds of students typically inhabit and move through these spaces? Older generations are often talking about how the younger generations are frequently on their phones. Therefore
Personal Reflection of Action Assignment: Assessment and Intervention of Print Knowledge to Students with Severe Disabilities Breannah Davis-Bloom Radford University Introduction Emergent literacy development is a foundational principle commonly acquired prior to inclusion into a formal educational setting. Literacy development is a uniquely dynamic concept, consciously and unconsciously embedded in the everyday lives of children. As a result of diversity in family dynamics, literacy levels can
Younger Age Group 2. Social Interactions/Development While observing the younger age group, I observed many social interactions and play. One example was EJ, a male born on 6/3/2015, who was stacking blocks with an adult in the room. He would stack them up and knock them over each time he built a tower. I identified this play as exploratory because he was using the tangible properties of the blocks (Steinberg, Bornstein, Vandell, & Rook, 2011). I identified his social skills as normative. He enjoyed
Should We Let the Toys Do the Talking? The toy industry is rapidly changing. With more and more toys becoming electronically enhanced, it is important for all caregivers of children to be aware of how these types of toys affect children both physically and mentally. Michaela B. Wooldridge, and Jennifer Shapka reported their research in 2010 on how electronic toys affect parent and child interactions, in an article titled “Playing with technology: Mother-toddler interaction scores lower during play
