Introduction During this assignment, I needed to observe infant/toddler from birth to 36 months. The observation was for 30 minutes while the infants interact with the world. While the observation, I created a running record observation to keep track of the developmental domains. The observation took place in the ECE classroom. There were three children which were Charlotte, Loui, and Benjamin. They were placed in the center of the class where there was different kinds of toys. During the observation, Charlotte and Loui were interacting with one another. However, Benjamin wasn’t interacting at all. Loui interacted with classmates and went outside the circle to get some toys. Emotional Domain The emotional domain involves emotions and feelings …show more content…
Social domain helps interact with other classmates. There are many activities that promote the social skills. According to Berger (2015), Social learning theory is the behaviorism that emphasizes the influence that other people have over a person’s behavior. The individuals learn without an enforcement. The individual learns through observation and imitation of other people. This theory is also called observational learning. Children model their behavior from their parents, peers, and famous people. Social learning occurs through modeling in which the child copies what they see on other people they admire. However, there are some children that do the opposite of what a role model is doing. On April 19, 2016, I noticed that Charlotte played with a baby doll. Charlotte was experience social learning Charlotte covers the baby doll with a blanket and surprisingly removes the blanket from the baby doll. When Charlotte took out the blanket, she laughs at the baby doll. It seems like Charlotte was playing peek-a-boo with her doll. By Charlotte plays with her doll, it shows that she learned that activity with her mom/dad. Also, there was an infant called Loui and was playing with Charlotte. Loui laid down on the carpet and moving his hips side to side. When Charlotte saw Loui, she laid down on the carpet and started to do the same thing. They were playing this new game and they were interacting with one …show more content…
The environment in which an infant is raise, has to do a lot with his/her development. I was surprise by this observation because there were different personalities. Loui was the child who interact more with the students in the classroom. Also, he was surprise of the things that he was able to do by using his gross motor skills. Charlotte imitate the behavior with the toys that were in the classroom. On the other hand, Benjamin was insecure child that needed to be near his mom/dad. I learned many things from this activity. I was able to understand the concepts because I related to the observation. This will help me in my future
Children are complex, and the way a child develops differs from individual to individual. The study of children is a field that researchers, scientists, theorists and educators have been exploring for decades. CHYS 1F90 studies the foundations of childhood development and allows the students to look at the way children develop through multiple lenses. Many conclusions have been drawn, observing how, when and why children develop the way they do. Jerry and Samantha are both grade one students who are unrelated. Although these two students are both the same age, they are different on a variety of accounts. Jerry is a shy and introverted boy who quickly becomes uncomfortable while talking to adults, teachers and peers, contrariwise Samantha is immensely confident and demonstrates extroversion around others. After analyzing both Jerry and Samantha through a biological, learning theorist and psychoanalytical lens, the reasons for the first-graders differences are clear. Depending on the lens in which an individual looks through when analyzing the development of children, interesting and intriguing conclusions can be drawn regarding the broad topic of understanding how children develop.
from the first bar, she quickly swung her feet over to the side for leg support.
The facility I did my observation at was Tutor Time in Fairfield, and I arrived there at 3:15pm. When I arrived there, I could instantly see that it was a child centered program by the feel of the artwork the kids had made that were on the walls, the passing classrooms and it smelled like sugar cookies throughout the building. It was very quiet in the office area and in the halls when I was walking to the class of preschoolers.
To begin, my observation was at Webster Elementary School, a school placed in the city surrounded by houses and other schools. The specific classroom I am observing is full of Kindergarten students who seem to very advanced than I had imagined. The classroom walls are brick and white, but the classroom teacher Mrs. O'Brien does an amazing job keeping the space use for both an upbeat and educational vibe, especially for environmental print. Everywhere you look there are educational posters, numbers, and mental state vocabulary words, as well as, students completed work. To add, students sit in medium sized tables with 4-6 other students when they aren’t having whole group instruction on either
Observation is very important in young children because that is how you get to know a child better. While observing how a child interacts with their peers, adults, and how they behave in different settings, you are getting to know the child without speaking to them.
In this assignment I am going to describe a child observation that I have done in a nursery for twenty minutes in a play setting. I will explain the strengths and weaknesses of naturalistic observation through the key developmental milestones based in Mary Sheridan (2005) check-list and provide a theoretical explanation to support the naturalistic observation.
I did my classroom observation at Brooklyn Preschool of Science (BPOS), located in the neighborhood of Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York. BPOS is a small school serving a little over 100 students from 2 years old to pre-kindergarten. I had the opportunity to do my observation in the pre-k classroom, which consisted of 17 students. On the day of my observation, the teacher had all the students seated in the circle time area for a read-aloud. She explained to them that she is going to read a fun and exciting book to them and that she wants them to pay close attention to what the book is about because she is going to ask them questions in the end. The children have been learning about living things in the neighborhood, and they have been talking
The research Albert Bandura did on observational learning, specifically in reference to the Bobo doll experiment, might be translated into parental advice in the form of a few cautions. For young children up to age three, observed negative consequences, such as reprimands or punishment decreased the likelihood that modeled behavior would be emulated (Cherry). This means as a parent if you observe behavior, in other individuals or children who are associating with your child, that is negative you should make it clear that type of behavior is unacceptable so that your child will be less likely to imitate that disapproved behavior. Observed disapproval discourages negative behavior. If noting parental disapproval of others’ actions creates a restraint
Children are brought the child care development center to provide daycare for the working parent. Upon arrival, an assessment is performed on the children. Their hair is checked for the presence of lice. Their eyes, ears, nose, and mouths are checked for redness or discharge. The presence of a cough should also be noted. General appearance is assessed for cleanliness. Their shoes should be closed toes to protect their feet from injury. The children can be dismissed from the center for lice or presence of infection to prevent the spread to others. If lice are present, the child should obtain treatment and return to school the day after treatment was received (Bohl, Evetts, McClain, Rosenauer, & Stellitano, 2015, p. 231).

Childhood is defined as the period in human development between infancy and adulthood(book). In a historical perspective, this is relatively new social construction. Early childhood most often refers to the months and years between infancy and school age children. Child development is influenced by a lot of factors. These factors influence a child both in positive ways that can enhance their development and in negative ways that can change developmental outcomes. To understand why childhood is such a crucial time in human life it is important to study the development before and after birth along with any factors that may alter life in between.
The two children that I have interacted with this week at the Early Childhood Education Center from the Willows group is Emily and Harriet. I got a chance to interact with these two girls this week. They are both so much fun to play with and be around. With Harriet, we played in the dirt box and played with the musical instruments. We also played with her stuffed little gray and white cat and a toy tiger. With Emily, we played doctor and played in the kitchen area. Together Emily and I played nurse and doctor to make her little baby feel better and got to play dress up with it. We also played some in the kitchen to make food for the baby as well. From what I have learned from Harriet and Emily is that they have two different personalities.
Observation It is believed that observing allows a teacher to see how children interact with adults and each other, as well as, becoming familiar with their everyday behaviours and the range of abilities in the classroom (Dowling, 2010). IPTE has allowed me to observe a number of teaching techniques, assessment methods and positive behaviour management strategies. Across a period of four weeks, I was able to spend two days a week observing in four of the five classrooms within the school, both in Foundation Phase (FP) and Key Stage 2 (KS2). The observation period enabled me to gain a good insight into lesson planning, the running of the school, strategies and policies used as well as the integration between FP and KS2. However, what stood out to me over the four weeks was the schools methods and use of Assessment for Learning (AfL).
1. Summary of Expectations: As an early childhood educators, it is important that we are knowledgeable about the various ways we can support children’s emergent writing and reading skill. Being knowledgeable of the developmentally appropriate ways we can support them will allow us to enhance children’s learning in this area. Children make sense of their world through play and exploration.
Introduction This past semester, I took a full load of classes; I studied and learned from many different subjects and became knowledgeable on areas scholastically that I had never been introduced to before. I say this, because out of the five classes I’m enrolled in, I learned the most from my field experience hours in the classroom. This hands-on observation allowed me to dive in to the education world and see all its wonders, as well as all its uncertainties. The children inspired me, the teacher gave me clarity and the classroom gave me a sense of home- a place I felt I belonged.
During observations, I saw a lot of different methods to teach, control, and mold children. Most of the things I observed I liked, only in one class did I see something that made me uncomfortable but even then I was not too unsettled. The classes I observed all showed me applications of ideas that were discussed in class but they added their own twist on to it or they merged multiple ideas to suit their needs and make for a better learning environment.
