CHCECE013 - USE INFORMATION ABOUT CHILDREN TO INFORM PRACTICEChild profile:Age: 3 years Developmental Level: Enhanced Language and Cognitive SkillBackground: Urban Australian, girl child with no disabilities, single child of parentsThe child, whom I observed is three years old. She belongs to the urban Australian community and has no sibling so far. The child is currently developing the enhanced language and the cognitive skills. Still now, no sign of physical or cognitive disability is observed in the child.Observation and recording techniques used:The child is observed using anecdotal nodes and the check lists.The anecdotal nodes are used for recording particular observations regarding the behaviour ofindividual child. The anecdotal nodes are also used for recording the skills and attitudes of the child, theability to comprehend the instructions, and identifying the learning directions. The anecdotal notes aretaken on basis of the continuous observations. However, the anecdotal notes can also be taken on basisof the performances done by a student. The notes are written in brief and objective manner. In addition,the notes focus on recording specific outcomes. The anecdotal nodes are taken immediately after anactivity is executed. As an effect, the notes are generally highly accurate. The anecdotal notes aim at fulfilling the following goals—Collecting information regarding development of the child over a period Collect information regarding the instructional needs of a childObserving the significant behaviours of the child Documenting the learning process of a childThe checklist is a tool that records particular traits and behaviours of a child in logical order. Checklistsare effective for recording the specific type of behaviour in a child. The information in the checklists canbe interpreted easily because of their objective nature. The checklists are advantageous because theyenable the observer to record the data in time-efficient and easy manner. Recording the data overchecklist does not require any skill set. The observer can collect the data in presence of the child.However, in case of checklists, the observer can record the observed data later also. The checklistsenable the observer to give importance on several behaviours at once. The checklists help the observersto compare the behaviours of a child with the expected development milestones. Therefore, using thechecklists, the observers can identify the behaviours which a particular child has not shown yet.
Therefore, the curriculums can be planned accordingly so that the particular behaviour in the child canbe encouraged. The checklist does not facilitate the observer to collect information in very detailed manner. Thechecklist also does not provide any information regarding the context or sequence of the events. Finally,the checklists do not facilitate the observers to include all information. Therefore, the importantinformation can be missed while recording information on the checklist. Finally, the checklists do notfacilitate the observer to record the duration of a particular behaviour.Original observations:AnecdotesAnecdote 1: 1st Week Observation On the first week, the child has shown remarkable progress in different areas.
