Description

 Typed, single-spaced

 One page only: One goal for this assignment is for you to learn how to be concise and selective in reporting observations. Therefore, only the first page of your report will be read. You may use a 10-point font and/or ½” margins to maximize space in your report.

 Follow the outline below in writing your report. Use headings or enumerate each section in your report.

a. Indicate which video you chose to use and identify the child you chose to observe (a physical

description if there is no name)

b. Age: Include the actual age if it is provided in the video; otherwise do your best to identify the

child’s age from what you know (age in years, or months for infants, if possible).

c. Setting: Identify where the observation took place, the number of people present nd their

status – teacher, parent, child, etc. Describe the setting in which the observation took place:

How was the room decorated? Did it contain child safety features? Temperature ok? Any toys?

What kind of toys? Any other relevant details?

e. Physical skills, appearance, health: Describe the child's appearance such as what the child was

wearing and indicate if the attire was appropriate for the weather, setting, and activities. Also

state whether the child was healthy or ill. Be brief but informative in describing any motor and

sensory skills you observe—e.g., sit up? walk? run? jump? If you focused on the child’s motor

skills, include your evaluation of the child’s developmental level according to the charts in the

textbook and PPT slides.

f. Activities: Summarize what the child did during the observation period and be specific. Stating

the child "played" is too general—how did s/he play? with whom? with what? Include only

observed behaviors in this section and no interpretations. It would be appropriate here to say

that a child took a toy away from another child; writing that a child was aggressive would be an

interpretation/inference. Inferences about the child’s behavior should be included in the

evaluation sections (H and I, as described below).

g. Evaluation of cognitive skills: If you focused on cognitive development, write your conclusions

about the child’s cognitive level (stage) and include examples of the behaviors on which you

based your evaluation—e.g., the child is in the sensorimotor stage because s/he engaged in

only sensorimotor-type play.

h. Evaluation of personality and social skills: If you focused on psychosocial development, write

your conclusions about the child’s psychosocial level (stage) and include examples of the

behaviors on which you based your evaluation—e.g., the child is in the autonomy vs. shame and

doubt stage because s/he frequently said “no” and indicated s/he wanted to do things

themselves.

VIDEO OBSERVATION PROCEDURE Select and view one of the recommended videos (links below). Focus on one child in the video, pay attention to the child’s overall development. Your goal is to identify the child’s stage/level of development in at least one domain—cognitive, physical, psychosocial. Even where the child’s age is specified, it is your task to determine if the child is at the age-appropriate level using behaviors from the videotape to confirm your assessment.
