LAPC Child Development & Physical Description & Child Autonomy Discussion

IMPORTANT!

ALL STUDENTS SHOULD USE A VIDEO FOR THIS LAST OBSERVATION… not a live child.

Video choice 2 that is available for the Social Emotional Observation is the SAME video that was available for the Cognitive Observation. You must choose a DIFFERENT child than you used for the Cognitive Observation if you use video 2. 15 points will be deducted if you choose the same child.

Social-Emotional Observation Report

Use this format to turn in your observation report. DO NOT list the numbers and an answer. Copy and paste this form to your own document, fill it out, and upload it..

Be OBJECTIVE for # 1-9b. This means you should not give any opinions, just observations. Points will be removed for using subjective statements for these answers. Use details. For example, if you are asked to provide an example of hand-eye coordination, a good answer would be:

“Johnny used his right hand to grasp the paintbrush in a fist grip. He looked at the tray of water colors and then moved his hand so that the brush landed between the red and blue pallets. Then he moved his hand so that the brush touched the red paint.”

A poor answer would be:

“Johnny put the brush in the paint.”

For #10 and #11, be SUBJECTIVE. This is the place for your thoughts, opinions and questions.

2. Physical description of child, including age (1):
