The setting where the study is to be performed should be included. The aim of the observation must be presented along with a report of the findings. The type of method used will depend upon the subject and the area of interest. Data is gathered on the subject in this case observations were used to provide the data.

    A child’s development and learning commences from the earliest days of their lives. The unique identity of each individual stems from the relationships with people who provide love, care and emotional support. These relationships can be within the home environment, school playground or with extended family members and friends. Children respond to stimuli which in turn form the ‘internal working model’ (K101, Unit 5). This can be described as how we view ourselves and others within society; it influences what we expect and how we respond to situations.

  • Early Intervention is Crucial in Treating Autism Spectrum Disorder

    978 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Your child has autism spectrum disorder” are words no parent wants to hear. They are words that will instill fear, worry, and sadness. When parents hear this for the first time, they will have many questions. “Is there anything I can do to help my child? If so, what can be done?” Early intervention services; such as applied behavior analysis therapy, occupational therapy, sensory integration therapy, and speech therapy before the age of three; can help improve the development of children with autism spectrum disorder. As an educator, early intervention is a subject teachers should be well educated in. It would be beneficial to the educator and the student, for a teacher to know and understand early intervention strategies.

  • Social Interaction Skills in Children With Autism

    2909 Words  | 6 Pages

    Children with autism have multiple characteristic impairments in their social interaction skills. This results from the lack of “Theory of Mind” in autistic individuals. Autistic children have difficulty interpreting what another person may be thinking or feeling. Social impairments may cause the child to act inappropriately in social interactions and prevent the children from truly taking part in interactions. The children have difficulty recognizing social cues and responding to cues. Autistic children have a hard time forming relationships as a result of these impairments. Social stories, Applied Behavior Analysis, and Pivotal Response Training are three therapy techniques that help children with autism learn appropriate social behavior. Social stories allow the children to practice the situation in a lower stress environment. Applied Behavior Analysis utilizes positive reinforce to teach desired skills. Pivotal Response Training allows the child to learn social skills while in a natural play environment. Learning social skills through these techniques enable the children to have more meaningful relationships and engage more in their community.

  • Bandura's Theory Of The Bobo Doll Experiment

    1063 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Bobo Doll experiment was conducted in 1961 by Bandura and his colleagues at Stanford University, to investigate if social behavior is learned through observing adult like aggressive behavior in the child’s environment. Bandura designed the Bobo doll experiment to see whether children would copy adult-like behaviors. In addition, whether children acted aggressively towards objects were either learned or inherited (Bandura, 1961). The theory being tested is social cognitive learning. Social cognitive learning is “how people acquire and maintain certain behavioral patterns, while also providing the basis for intervention strategies” (Bandura, 1997). Basically, it is evaluating the person’s behavioral action/ reaction depending in the environment,

  • Guiding Children's Behaviour Case Study

    1661 Words  | 4 Pages

    At this stage, the child’s behaviour is also associated with Bronfenbrenner’s “bi-directional influences” (Paquette & Ryan 2015). For example, the parents may affect child’s behaviour and beliefs; however, the child’s behaviour also affects the belief and behaviour of her parents. Curriculum, teaching strategies and resources play main role in addressing children’s behaviour in learning environment (Conway, 2009). Implementing the appropriate strategies and developing positive relationship between educator, parents and other significant adult is very important for the child to understand a sense of belonging, identity and able to recognize herself as significant and valued (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], 2014). Proactive and Reactive strategies can be utilized in guiding the child’s behaviour. The reactive approaches can be implemented after the child’s inappropriate behaviour that helps her to understand about ‘punishments’ and endeavor to stop her inappropriate behaviour (Conway, 2009). For example, “if you punch him

  • Disruptive Children Case Study

    Disruptive children in the classroom impacts the entire school community not just the disruptive child themselves but also their peers and teachers. Disruptive children can be seen as a ‘road block to the building of a successful school and school district culture’ (Short and Greer 2002). The flow on effect of this type of behaviour contributes to the division of resources being affected, seating arrangements, limitation of classroom activities, it takes away a sense of safety for other students, it diminishes the ability of the teachers to perform to the highest standard and impacts learning for both the disruptive child and fellow students this could be through peer pressure as other students may feel they need to engage in disruptive behaviour

  • Disadvantages Of Case Study Approach

    777 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Psychological Research various methods are used to acquire information to prove a specific hypothesis or forecast. One of these methods which necessitates special care and consideration is a case study approach. This particular approach to research allows for the researcher to use skilled procedures to extensively examine a single unit or anomaly. History displays, this strategy as a nonexperimental qualitative approach but in research today, a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative is used. According to Crawford (2016), a case study is defined as “A research methodology that is an in-depth observation of an individual, animal, event, or treatment method” (p.73). However, this definition is modified across disciplines, consequently, creating a variance in the quality of the technique. Today the case study approach is one of the most frequently used methods of research. Although the case study approach provides many advantages, one being a critical investigation into the subject, it also has its disadvantages, some of which jeopardize the effectiveness of the analysis.
