Document Summary

Through the looking glass- observations in the early childhood classroom. Designing observational instruments to use in the early childhood classroom. These steps may be applied to the design of a checklist, rating scale, tally event sampling instrument, or time sampling instrument. An observer beginning with an observational question considers the workability of a greater variety of methods (i. e. , running records, anecdotal record, and abc narrative even sampling) Selecting an appropriate topic, and formulate an observational question. A useful observational topic is explicit and manageable rather than general and vague. The topic suggests specific categories to observer. Example- studying how parents and children separate at a child care center adequately suggests observable categories. A productive technique of further narrowing the topic is to form a question to study. One question represents a workable initial focus and leads to a precise delineation of the specifics to be observed.
