...Student’s Name: Cassandra Marie Fernandez Naturalistic Observation This observation took place in a park where a birthday party was celebrating. I looked at a girl of 4 years old or so. The girl was wearing a red blouse and black shorts. I think she was Hispanic. She was about 50 inch tall and weighed about 35 to 40 pounds. I could hear when her dad called her Penelope. Physical development For her age, she had a perfect physical development because I could see how she ran with other girls and boys of the same age. She was jumping the string, and playing hides and seeks, so I could tell that the girl was healthy and had good physical development. Cognitive development (Piaget’s stages) According to Piaget’s stages Penelope is in preoperational stage because for example, she played with her friends building a sturdy house of plants’ leaves acting as if it was a princess castle. Also she used branches of the tree as if they were magic wands, so I realized that Penelope is in the section of mental representation make believe play. Another example that I realized was that Penelope father offered a juice, and gave her a choice of a bottle or a glass and she chose the bottle allowed more amount then the glass. Emotional and Social development (Erikson’s Stage) According to Erikson’s stages, Penelope is in industry versus inferiority because I noticed that she was all the time in cooperation with the other kids. She developed a sense of competence at useful skills and...

...Naturalistic Observation M y observation took place in the daycare of my infant daughter. I was observing the behavior of my daughter Sofia who is 20 months old compared to other children of the same age in their environment. She has around 25 pounds and a height according to their age. Physical Development For her age she is physically developed since I can see as I walk and begins to develop the art of running. I can see how she plays and tries to talk like their peers. I could tell that my daughter is healthy and has good physical development. Cognitive Development According to Piaget's stages Sofia is in preoperational stage because for example, when all children are playing with small toys, my daughter loves to be playing with the cups and plates imagining that there is there food, finding the ramekins from the kitchenette and pretends that she was cooking. (Make- believe-play) Another example is when the teacher offers water in a plastic cup and my daughter asks the bottle because it is easier to handle, faster and can take more water. Emotional and Social Development According to Erikson's stages, Sofia is on autonomy versus shame and doubt, because I have noticed that she wants to be alone, playing with toys alone without sharing, something that made me laugh was, when I saw that children have been playing with her but she will not like to share what she had in her hand until she gets something back. I want to give another example to support my study, it’s when...

Teachers must make daily decisions about children that should be based on accurate and appropriate information. Portfolios, work samples, and teacher observation across time can provide the tools necessary to identify individual strengths and weaknesses. Assessment is defined as “a systematic procedure for obtaining information for observation, interviews, portfolios, projects, tests, and other sources that can be used to make judgments about characteristics of children or programs. These mental and written observation, audio and video tapes, and work samples are organized in a systematic way so that each child has a folder, notebook, or portfolio of documentation that represents what she/he is learning and how she/he is growing in their skills and knowledge. (www.ccsso.org). Information collected should be placed in an assessment portfolio. A portfolio is a record of the teacher’s observations and comments as well as a wide selection of the representative work that has been selected by the child and teacher together and should be shared with the present each child should have an assessment portfolio.

My goal is to determine what a child has learned, what the individual already know and how much more the child is prepared to learn by assessing the child. The purpose of assessment is used for an assortment of reasons “it helps the teacher to keeping track of learning, diagnosing reading and writing difficulties, determining eligibility for programs, evaluating programs, evaluating teaching, and reporting to others. Underlying all these purposes is a basic concern for improving teaching and learning. In the United States it is common to use testing for accountability, but the ultimate goal remains the improvement of teaching and learning. (IRA, n.d.)

...which a child’s development can be monitored. Monitoring how children behave and watching what they do and the way they do it is really important. Observations may be formal or informal. A formal observation is one that is planned ahead and has a specific purpose and helps assess children’s development. Informal observations are when an adult may observe a child doing many small things during the day/year. Observations can be in the form of checklists, tick charts, written records/snapshot observations, time and event samples. Feeding back information from observations to the teacher is important as it means that a clear picture can be made of the child’s development needs and progress. Information can be shared with parents, carers and outside agencies so that they can work together to help any child that might need...

This is, like, I think the theme is much more about the similarities than the differences. (Basically, all their basic needs, even like if the Namibian baby virtually doesn't have anything of what we consider comfort and like, wealth, they are like very rich according to the local standards, and they are very happy with their life.) ("Director Finds Parallels, Differences In 4 'Babies'") d. Director Thomas Balmes spent nearly two years traveling the globe to capture the early lives of Bayarjargal from Mongolia, Ponijao from Namibia, Mari from Japan and Hattie from the United States. The idea, he says, came to him five years ago from a French producer. "[He said], 'Why don't we do a wildlife documentary on babies?' Well, I said, 'What is this crazy idea?' And then the more I was thinking about it, the more I thought there could be something done about it."

...The Psychological Effects of Bullying John Wells Maryville University Observations of Children on a Psychiatric Unit This part of the paper will cover my observations of patient-to-patient aggression in the form of verbal, emotional, and physical bullying on an inpatient behavioral health unit, and its psychological effects. Over the span of 3 weeks I observed the interactions between children on a psychiatric unit where I work. Each week I spent one shift making observations. I do not typically work the children's unit, but I was able to float to this unit and make observations during the time where the kids were in the day area interacting. The type of bullying I saw the most was in the form of verbal. Verbal bullying happened 100 percent of the time I was on the unit. It involved children of all ages, race, and gender. The verbal aggression was consistently focused on intellect, appearance, skin color, lifestyle choices, and ethnicity. The most common form of verbal aggression was directed at appearance and intellect. This was very interesting to me because our patients have general learning disabilities. I also saw emotional bullying. This type of bullying included the spread of rumors, excluding others from activities, and refusal of talking to other patients. The last type of bullying I observed was physical bullying. This type of bullying was less likely to happen on our unit. I felt that the presence of staff and security discouraged this type of bullying...

...Adrienne Lindsey PSYC 2314.01 Early Adulthood Observation Observation Date: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 Time: 5:00-8:00PM Location: Adults Home OBSERVATIONS AND ANALYSIS Q was a 19 year old black male. He was in the Erickson’s intimacy vs. isolation stage. Areas of observation include physical, cognitive, and social/emotional development. Physical Development Q has reached maximum body growth and biological aging or senescence has begun. Biological ageing is “genetically influenced declines in the functioning of organs and systems that are universal in all members of our species” (Berk, 2010, p. 432). Q exercises daily but he admits that he doesn’t eat a healthy diet all the time. “Regular moderate to vigorous exercise predicts a healthier longer life” (Berk, 2010, p. 443). Also, “when too much saturated fat is consumed, some of it is converted to cholesterol, which accumulates as plaque on the arterial walls in atherosclerosis” (Berk, 2010, p. 441). Q was stressing about getting into college, helping his mother with bills, and finding a job. This is psychological development, “chronic stress resulting from economic hardships is linked to hypertension, which contributes to the high incidence of heart disease in low-income groups, especially African-Americans” (Berk, 2010, p. 450). Cognitive Development Q has not entered college yet but he knows that it is something he has to do in order to get a good paying job. Study shows that “about 20...
