Observation types
...
It is a very detailed form of observation
and can focus on different developments
...
The disadvantages of this- time consuming
...
Works well to observe
an individual child, not groups
...
Duration observing- This form of observation allows you to establish how
much time a child spends at certain activities
...
It records how long the children are at the
activities
...
Targeted child- This form of observation is used when there is a concern about
a child, for example delayed development, behaviour issues and speech
...
The observation is focused on
one child
...
They can be used to
observe behaviour or speech
...
Observations have 2 different styles where the teacher is included in the
activities or they sit back and not get involved, allowing them to mainly focus
on the observation
...
This
can affect the support given to a child and they may get marked as
being more developed under a development stage, than the level they
actually are as each style of observation is based around different
developmental areas
...
[2]- If a child shows during an observation that they are to do
something very well, the next step would be for practitioners to set a
new target/ goal for the child to achieve
...
[3]- Long term planning can be carried out by using observations
...
Future
planning could also help because activities can be prepared in advance
...
[4]- using ‘Child A’ or the child’s initials, protects them because only the
practitioner knows what child the observation is based on and know the
child’s initials
...
[5]- Information should be stored safely because it prevents those
unauthorised from accessing personal information about the children,
families and practitioners
...
For
example, observations related to a child’s speech may be carried out
and shared with a speech and language therapists, so they can create a
plan to support the child
