Homework: Child Development

Part I: Observation and Assessment

Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. It is through play that children at a very early age engage and interact in the world around them. This homework allows students to observe and assess children at play by using three forms of observation/assessment tools.

Task

Observe children ages 0 to 3 engaged in play activities. This can be done in an infant classroom, a toddler classroom, a 3 year old classroom, a playground with a child ages 0-3, or any other location where there is a child 0-3 playing.

A. Conduct a 10-minute observation of a child 0-3 years old engaged in play. Provide pictures or a detailed description of the setting in which you are doing your observation, the age of the child you are observing, and include pictures of the play area and play materials the child is engaged in.

B. Identify a specific child behavior and design an instrument to measure the frequency of the behavior (how many times do they do the behavior you have identified). Use the tools given to you in your textbook readings for this week.

C. Use the instrument you have created to collect data from three different observations of the same child for 5 minutes each time.

D. Evaluate your instrument's effectiveness in 4 or more sentences. Were you able to gather meaningful data? Would you change your instrument in any way? If yes, explain how and why you would change it.
