INTRODUCTION
Early learning year’s framework is considered to be of utmost level of importance
because it helps in enriching the learning of the child or toddler at a very early stage. This study
will highlight on the three interactive analysis of the video for the early learning years
framework. This study in turn tends to include complete analysis on the finger painting transcript
video, fishing connecting with the connectivity video and engaging with the babies and the
toddlers.

Interaction Transcript/Running Record
Educator: Put the colour on the table.
Child 1 (Boy): Oh Cool! I want to do that too.
Educator: Okay! Now just swish the colour and wipe the colour all over the board.
Child 1 (Boy): Okay ma’am. (Trying to bring out more colours)

Critical analysis
This video interactions tends to state that, the educators tend to play one of the most significant
role in early year framework of the children. This video demonstrates about finger-painting. The
pedagogical significance associated with this video is very significant as it helps in developing
various set of cognitive development skills within the child. The key pedagogical significance
associated with the finger painting is that, it helps the child shaping, colouring nad building
spatial relationships.
Messy play with the finger painting is considered to be one of the relevant importance for the
development of the child. Finger painting is very useful for the brain and the body of the child to
integrate information in a more creative manner. Finger painting is very much important for the
spatial concepts, language and mathematics. Finger painting is considered to be one of the most
prominent way which helps in expressing the feelings of the child in a creative and relaxing
manner.
It health educators in helping children to learn how different colour works with each other by
mixing various primary colours all together. Finger painting is considered to be very useful for
sensory integration. It is considered to be very prominent because it helps in developing various
senses within the child which includes hearing, smiling, touching and tasting. Finger painting
helps the educators in improving the motor development skills among the child and is also very
prominent in strengthening the hand and finger muscles of the child. Fingerprint thing is very
useful because it helps in stimulating imagination and creativity within the child and it also helps
in expressing their feelings without using any words. Finger painting is considered to be an
exploratory activity which helps the educators in developing creative, physical and social
benefits within the children. Finger painting is one of the most prominent activity which helps
the educators in developing cognitive skills, motor skills within the child. It also leads to
emotional soothing of the children with better imagination and creativity skills. Finger painting is
considered to be as the excellent tactile experience which in turn eventually results in higher
optimum degree of knowledge and learning experience within the child. The key four primary
colours are the green, blue, yellow and red. The colours which in turn are considered to
complimentary to the primary colours are known as secondary colours.

Critical analysis of the interactions
The child one was very excited to swish the colours on the table. The boy was highly interactive
with the teacher and was asking her to help him with taking out the colours from the container.
The fingerprint thing has helped in developing the way his communication and language skills
within the child because of the high interaction between the teacher and the other participants in
finger painting. The educator is also trying to impart knowledge at the same time with this
creative fingerprinting activity. The educator tends to draw the letter E in order to impart of
knowledge and learning at the same time to the children. Clem Is another child who puts a hand
impression of her on the paper with the help of paint. This helps in stimulating the senses within
the child such as touch, feel, smell, sight et cetera. It helps the child in developing intellectual
skills and it also helps in strengthening the fine motor skills within the child. The educator in this
video tends to mix various set of colours which helps in increasing the knowledge within the
child associate with the primary colours. This activity helps in imparting knowledge to the
students how primary colours can be mixed well together in order to make a new
colour. Fingerprinting activity also helps interacting with the various group members and helps
in promoting social skills such as sharing of the paint pots and working together as a team. Other
than knowledge and learning it also helps in developing core values within the individual child
such as sharing, caring and working together as a team. Use of fingerprinting helps educators to
provide exploration and experimentation of paint in order to discover new colours and gain
higher degree of eye and hand coordination by developing fine motor skills within the child. This
finger painting activity which has been carried out by the educator helps the children in
developing various set of motor skills and cognitive skills which are very necessary for the child
development within the future. When the colour green and yellow is mix together then it forms a
new colour known as yellow- green. It helps the educators in imparting knowledge related with
the various combination of colours in order to impart high degree of knowledge and learning to
child. One of the major weakness which is mainly associated with this video is that, the major
focus is given on one child I.e., Child 1 (Boy). This in turn does not gives equal set of
opportunity to both the children in order to impart equal level of learning and support to both the
child.

Interaction Transcript/Running Record
Teacher: (Children embarking on the fishing experience on a playground just to demonstrate the
knowledge of the real life experience of fishing).
Child 1 (Front left): (Imagining) The River is really bumpy?
Educator: Yes right, we are out to see we are in the rivers.
All the children: (Excited) yes.
Educator: Hey look over there, is that a dolphin or a big mermaid?
All the children: It’s a dolphin.
Daniel: (Excited) There is a shark over their.
Educator: Ohh! Daniel sees a Shark.
Daniel: (Jumps in the water)
Educator: Ohh god stop. Someone is jumping in the water. Ohh he fell in the water.
Educator: Okay keep going. Are we nearly there?
Child 2 (Front right): Ohh there is a Crocodile.
Educator: Shh! We can’t let the crocodile eating us. Keep going quietly.
Child 1 (Front left): We are there. We reached the spot.
Critical analysis
Fishing experience tends to play one of the most significant role because it helps the child
in gaining wide degree of knowledge and learning associated with the nature from fishing
experience. It helps the child in effectively understanding and appreciating the key factors of the
nature. Fishing experience tends to play one of the most crucial role in the development of
knowledge and learning within the children. It helps children to enjoy the outdoor activities in
fresh air and also appreciate nature. One of the key and significant role of the educator is to
improve the coordination and maintaining good balance with other team members. It is very
crucial for the child for improving the hand and eye coordination. It also helps educators in
4

imparting good ethics and morals to the children at a very early stage with fishing activity.
Fishing activity also helps the child in learning the person where is also gained by degree of
knowledge about the fishes which are in the river like dolphins, sharks, et cetera. It helps in
creating higher degree of focus well in the child and early stage which leads to better career
goals. It helps in increasing their focus by eliminating distraction within the child.
It is very crucial for increasing the motor planning activities within the child and also improve
the cognitive development skills which leads to higher growth in learning and gaining high
degree of knowledge to the child. This leads to better performance and productivity within the
child. Fishing activity also helps in teaching independence to the child and carry out activities
within their own personal means. Fishing activities also helps in connecting child with the
community. The pedagogical significance associated with the fishing activity within the children
is useful because it helps in building their knowledge which in turn largely affects the individual
person. It also helps in imparting knowledge to the children associated with the community and
gain wider set of perspective on nature.
Critical analysis of the interactions
The educator within this video interaction is considered to be one of the most crucial activity
which helps in imparting knowledge associated with the fishing experience to the child in order
to attain higher knowledge related with the fishing activity. The educator wants to impart
knowledge to the students related with the various fishes in the river such as sharks and dolphins.
The teacher also want to impart high degree of knowledge related with the coordinating the
hands and swaying the boat in the right direction all together. This helps in coordinating the hand
and the eye improvement of all the members within the boat. This eventually helps in working
together within the team within children. The key advantage is that, the educator also tends to
impart high degree of knowledge to the students related with the risk of jumping into the river
and risk of wild crocodiles which is very risky for the life of an individual. The educator imparts
knowledge to the students that, they must focus on gaining wide set of knowledge related with
the risk which are present within the river at the time of fishing activity. The educator gives
demo to the student related with the fishing activity on the ground and makes sure to understand
the children about the risk and factors which are to be taken into consideration at the time of
fishing experience. The educator wants to impart the knowledge that, it is very crucial for the
5

child to learn the risk which are associated with the fishing in the river. One of the major
weakness which is highly associated with the fishing activity is that, the fishing rods could be
highly dangerous for the child. Drowning and accidents are one of the major threat to the child.
There are various bug bites, poisonous plants, snakes, etc. in turn are the risk factors for the
children. Another major weakness related with this video is that, the educator did not give the
children complete knowledge which is associated with effectively taking various precautionary
measures which are to be taken in order to protect the life of the child from any such nature.
