This week we talked about different observation techniques and developing rubrics.
There are different types of observation that we talked about in class such as running records, anecdotal records, time sampling, and event sampling.
In my future classroom, I would use these types of observation in these ways.
Running Record
- a detailed sequence of behavior.
- I would use this type of observation:
Anecdotal Record
- A brief description of a single incident
- I would use this type of observation:
- When and if I need to record a brief incident for an IEP or parent-teacher conference about a specific student involving their behavior academically or social-emotionally.
Time Sampling
- When there is interest in determining the frequency of a particular behavior
- I would use this type of observation:
- I would be observing a student going off task and their behavior while completing a task.
Event Sampling
- used when there is interest in determining the frequency of a certain behavior
- I would use this type of observation:
- When observing how many times a child has aggression during a specific time period
In class we also talked about developing rubrics and I think that it was easier to think about developing a rubric but to do it like we did in class it was a little bit more challenging because we had to score based on grade level and what was appropriate.
Hi Kyleigh! I really like how you have color coded each type of observation, it makes it very clear to point out when reading your reflection!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you set up your post with color! Your blog is super cute. I also thought the idea of creating a rubric sounds super easy but once you have to use it to start grading, it can be difficult. The descriptions need to be super detailed or it leads to lots of "gray area". Great post!
