Play observation: | Constructive play
Manipulation for creation | Picking color to draw with
26
Play observation: | Dramatic play
Pretend play
27
Time sampling | Structured
``` Chart! Types and frequency of behavior over a period of time You decide: What behaviors to observe What the time interval is How to record the behavior ```
28
Anecdotal record Narrative
``` Detailed incidents (events) Beginning, middle and end (when where what who) Accurate, interesting, same type and a theme you see from child focus on behavior ```
29
Event sampling Structured
ABC chart Determine cause & effect Structured Used when a behavior occurs in a particular setting Similar to Anecdotal record but more focused Captures things to change (increase or decrease)
30
Frequency count Structured
Measures "how often" blends the time and event sampling Measures repeated action of a child, the whole group, or the teacher Reduce negative behaviors or increase positive ones
31
Work sample
Collection of products
32
Portfolio
Bringing it all together
33
Advantages of Time Sample
``` Can gather info on entire class at once Can revisit and see how much time is spent Indicated child's preference Strengths and weaknesses Can show areas of the room used/not used ```
34
Disadvantages of time Sampling
Lacks detail Very time intensive Must be done many times to make good conclusions
35
Advantages of Anecdotal record
``` No special forms Anyone can look back and see the event Give you a sense of being there Separate judgements Useful ```
36
Disadvantages of Anecdotal record
Only looks at 1 or 2 minutes 1 child at a time Can be writing intensive
37
Advantages of Event sampling
Focuses on "why" Cause and Effect Helps us change Examine the consequences
38
Disadvantages of event sampling
One child at a time | Can be frustrating if event doesn't occur
39
ABC chart (event sampling)
A- antecedent (before behavior. What happened before) B- Behavior C- consequent event (what happens after) Time/date. | A. |. B. |. C. | A- Johnny sat at the art table, Sam reached across him B-johnny bit sams arm C- teacher consoled Sam and reminded Johnny teeth are for biting food
40
Situations for frequency count
``` Decrease aggressive acts Decreases teacher intervention Documents punitive techniques Increases cooperative play Increases family interaction Increases eye level talking Increases use of learning area ```
41
Advantages of Frequency
Tally mark Easy Use to change behavior Data and numbers before and after
42
Disadvantages on Frequency counts
It's just a number No descriptors Aggressive get more covert (hiding it better) Be mislead
43
Erik Erikson over review
``` 8 stages Psychosocial Lifespan stages Each stage has a crisis (positive vs negative) Crisis based on social crisis ``` Behavior is a result of getting wants and needs met within the rules if society
44

55
Ecological theory: Mesosytem | 2nd
Connects links between Microsystems i.e. Family and school | Ex. School sends flyers home,

Outside of, not directly but can influence child through microsystem Indirect effect
57

Larger society (beliefs, lifestyles, democracy, ideology)
58

80
Piaget's Stages Stage 2- pre operational
