Case Study
Case study 1
Topan is a very active three-year-old who tends to run rather than walk. On a particularly busy day, Topan rushes from an art activity which he doesn't seem to like, to the outdoor area for free play, which he always seems to enjoy.
In his hurry, Topan bumps into Mikhael, who is finishing a drawing. This causes Mikhael to fall over and to accidentally scrawl a big red line through the middle of his drawing. Mikhael bursts into tears and Topan runs away.
As an educator, describe how you would:
a) structure the experiences provided on the day in a way that promotes cooperation and conflict resolution
b) Help Topan to see the consequences of his actions as an opportunity to learn and grow.
Case study 2
You have just taken a position at a new education and care service and you are busy becoming familiar with how the service documents children's development and wellbeing. The director is very busy and has not given you a clear induction into the service's policies and procedures. The other staff are equally busy and the documentation regarding individual children's development and wellbeing is patchy and incomplete.
a) Describe how you would facilitate team collaboration for assessing and evaluating the children's development and wellbeing.
(Total word count: approximately 200 words).
Case study 3
Hirini is three years old and has begun to put on more weight than is recommended for his age and height. He loves to run and play, but only for very short periods.
Outline how you would plan and provide appropriate experiences to encourage Hirini to develop his physical skills and emphasise the importance of physical fitness.
Case study 4
Eun Ae is three-and-a-half years old and you are concerned she does not participate in group activities as much as other children do. She appears bored during group activities designed to support cognitive development and can often be found with a book in her lap, contentedly turning the pages.
One morning, you are surprised to overhear Eun Ae mumbling the words of a picture book to herself - particularly as this book is designed for older readers and you know it has never been read to her.
Describe what you would do to assess, monitor and support Eun Ae's cognitive development. Include how you would create a learning environment with appropriate levels of challenge and support her investigation of ideas, complex concepts and thinking, reasoning and hypothesising.
Case study 5
Maggie is three-and-a half years old and enjoys spending time outdoors, particularly in natural environments. She loves watching ants, butterflies and small lizards in the outdoor areas of the centre.
During a drawing activity where the children are asked to draw something that they think is beautiful, Maggie draws a very detailed spider. One of the other children laughs at Maggie's drawing, saying ‘Spiders are horrible! What would you draw that for?' The other children laugh and Maggie turns her picture upside-down.
a) encourage Maggie to explore her area of interest
