Types of Observations in children?

[katymac]

Can anyone point me in an easy direction for this?

ie types of observations and advantages and disadvantages of each?

Sorry, but what do you mean? Observations of what? advantages/disadvantages of what?

[katymac]

Like a narrative observation or a tick list or a mvement/flow observation

It's for my NVQ3 in childcare & education

Hi Katymac... I'm also doing my NVQ3 in childcare & education.. which module are you doing this for...?? have you got the nvq3 book by Penny Tassoni

[schnapps]

Oh, I see. So you mean observations OF children, rather than IN - it doesnt take much to confuse me

Sorry, can't help you after all that! lol!

[katymac]

I have - I just can't find it _I'll have another look in a minute

It's for C16 (which I really hate)

[katymac]

Thanks for trying anyway Schnapps

[rummum]

theres a nice chart in the book...

time sample
checklist and tick charts
event sample
target child

let me know if you want the disadvantages/advantages if you haven't got your book

katymac, don't know if you already know of the Foundation Stage Forum , but it's a brilliant place for anyone involved in early years education. To access some bits, you do need to subscribe (I think it's about £20 a year), but there's tons of useful stuff, including a section for NVQ3 students

If I find any specific links to stuff about observational situations/styles, I'll post later. HTH

Thanks I have found my book (DD had borrowed it to work from - I think she sees to much of mummy working as "leave me alone I'm working")
