INTRODUCTION
Children is very sensitive human being who desire a smooth caring and treatment so as they
can develop their physical as well as mental skill. Child care or preschool is the caring for and
supervision of a child or children usually from age six weeks to age thirteen. In other word it can be
said that child care is a broad topic covering a wide spectrum of context, activities, social and
cultural conventions and institutions. In addition to this, in the western society for children, parents
and teacher are more responsible to take care of children and understand their physical as well as
mental activities. The report discusses diverse range of growth elements of children such as play
preferences, social interaction, communication languages, emotional status, physical ability etc.
ACTIVITY 3
4. Explanation of application of inclusive principle when interpreting observation of Ella
As per the given case scenario, Ella has spina bifida which makes walking difficult and she
has a degree of unitary incontinence which mean she is not able to reach to toilet by herself on time
and sometimes wets at preschool. Moreover it has been analysed that Ella has patterns of isolation
and has also faced learning difficulties observation at play which reveal a pattern of social isolation
during free play period. Therefore, service provider must be able to demonstrate essential
knowledge required to effectively observe the patients in the care home. In this manner, service
provider have to include various principles in the knowledge. These are as follows-
The effective analysis of observation is crucial for growth and development of the child. Proper
monitoring system and observation plays a crucial role for the same. Monitoring the activities of
Ella will closely analysed by the care provider. Moreover focusing on gathering appropriate
information helps in attaining the effective results for child development and growth within the
market. Service provider requires to demonstrate the interest of Ella and according to their interest
and ability create the atmosphere around her.
ACTIVITY 4
2) Interpretation of the information and observation
 Individual emerging skill- Emerging skill is ability and interest in children through which
they show their talents and skill in front of another. In order to identify individual emerging
skill, educator needs to conduct various activities and programs in care home so as children
can take part in this. For example, educator organise a test of art and ask to draw a picture
on sheet. With assistance of this, they can identify and observe emerging skill in children
3

 Capabilities- In order to interpret and collect the information regarding capabilities of
individual, educator can conduct the group activities and ask to show potential of each
children in care home. Ability is a strength through which individual can show their skill and
talents.
 Potential- Potential generally refers to a currently unrealized ability in the children. In order
to interpret information and observation, educator requires to give some opportunity for
show their potentiality. For example, mathematical study of potential is known as potential
theory.
 Interest and preferences of children- In order to interpret the information about children
interest and preferences, educator can give many option or alternatives to show their ability
or skill in care home. For example, if educator offers students for choosing one of option
from drawing and writing. So if child choose drawing then it can say his most interest in
drawing and art.
3) Explanation of interpretation of information might be used to guide program strategies to foster
development
As per the discussion it has been ascertained that there are various information collected by
educator in order to interpret and observe. Different strategies which must be implemented in order
This information might use to guide program strategies to foster development. Different strategies
such as puzzle solving, understanding thinking style of a child, developing learning methods
through effective plays strategies are strategies which may adopted for child development. For
example, some of child’s are not capable in maths as per the collected information so care home
will organise the activities through which they can again knowledge about mathematical subjects.
PART 1
1. Explain various methods to collect information regarding Hannah's emerging skill.
Being a group leader in the Busy Bees child care centre, I have various roles and
responsibility toward organisation. This care centre have major objective is to teach, manage and
take care of three year old children. In the care home, there are roster of several educators and each
one is responsible for making observations about each child in the group and about one child in
particular. According to the given information, Hannah is a child in the group and as a group leader
I have to observe Hannah so as I can teach him in an effective manner. In this manner, I have major
responsibility to provide proper guidance and teaching so as he can grow his mental status and
personality. For this objective, I have to collect some information about emerging skills such as
social skill, maths skill, science skill etc. Being a group leader in the children, I have to analyse the
4

various resources through which I can able to collect relevant information about Hannah. Emerging
skill is a entire ability and talents of children which includes all sort of skills such as
communication, learning, growing, activeness, interaction, science, maths, drawing etc. This all
skill assist in observing that how far child is capable and talented.
Observation- In order to collect the information about emerging skill of Hannah I have to observe
that how Hannah read a words in the books and other study material. For example, I will give some
document of story related to moral education then I ask him to read the words. After that I can
observe that how he will pick letters, and try to understand and speak that.
One another mode to observe and collect information about Hannah emerging skill is that written
test. Under this test, I will ask to Hannah for write a alphabet on a paper sheet. At the time of
writing by Hannah, I will observe that how he write a letters of the alphabet. If he can not even hold
a pencil properly then I will teach holding the pencil or chalk on the board. By this mode I can
teach to keep pencil or chalk while drawing or writing on the paper.
Test -This is most effective way to analyse Hannah is drawing skill, for this I will give colours and
paper and as to draw a picture of flower. By this activity, I can observe that how a child can able to
create something of paper. By this activity, I can also observe that how Hannah is able to put the
innovation and creativity on paper. This will assist to analyse the mental level of children.
Team Activity- By conducting group game, I can observe the interaction and communication skill
of Hannah. While, he play in a group I can analyse that how he will talk with another children and
coordinate with other to conducting game at care centre. With assistance of this skill, I can assess
that how Hannah have communication, interaction, supportive skill through which he can able to
discover his thoughts and feeling with another children. Further, I can also analyse that how he is
able to enjoying himself with other children.
Assessment process- One another process through which I can collect high quality information
about children. Being a leader in the children group in the busy bees child care centre I can use an
effective process through which I can appropriately collect a high data of emerging skill. This
process are as follows-
 Planning experience for the child- This is the most effective and appropriate method
through which I can collect the information about Hannah's emerging skill. Under this
manner, I can analyse children experience. In this context, I can observe that in which field,
Hannah has some experience such as drawing, playing, reading, writing etc.
 Identifying the child's capability- In this way, I can determine that in which field Hannah
is capable or able to perform. For example, I can give some written, read and drawing
sample in order to use them. By this, I can analyse that how far he will able to utilise in a
5

proper and right manner. If he will properly write on a paper sheet and capture the letters
then I can identify that his written skill is good. With assistance of this method, I can
observe physical as well as creative capability.
 Identifying the child's interest and needs- This manner shows that in which field Hannah
have interest. This stage assist in identity the interest of children. For example, I gives
various option to Hannah at care centre to perform his talents such as read, write, drawing
etc. If he chooses to draw on sheet in order to make picture then I can easily determine that
his most interest in the field of drawing.
 Monitoring uncharacteristic or atypical aspects of development- In this stage, I can
analyse that in which field Hannah have lack of interest to perform. Further, this stage assist
me in knowing that what disability or uncharacteristic in the Hannah through which he is
unable to perform.
2. Description of variety of detailed information that I have gathered about hannah's emerging skill
As per the above discussion it can be said that there are various method through which I can
collect a quality of information about emerging skill of Hannah. This information assist in analysing
the capability, talents and efficiency of Hannah. With assistance of different methods of analysis and
observation about the children, I can also forecast that how will grow that children in various fields.
I have used various methods such as observation, written test, group activities, assessment process,
monitoring etc. With assistance of these methods, I can easily assess that how far Hannah mind has
developed and how his mental level effective. Reading & communication capability- By observation method, I have conducted a reading
test in which I have given some documents of story related to moral education then I asked
him to read the words. After that I have observed that he is very effective reader in the care
home. Moreover, in this method analysed that Hannah have effective communication skill
also because he has properly read as well as describe the conclusion of that moral story in
the class. Written capability- In the test method, I have given test paper to Hannah for write alphabets.
At the time of writing by Hannah, I have observed that Hannah is not quite good in the
writing. Or it can be said that hannah's written skill is not effective as its reading skill. Thus,
as a leader of children group I should concentrate on various learning classes through which
Hannah can improve his writing skill. Creative capability- I have taken a test of Hannah in order to observe his another emerging
skill. In this manner, I have given colours and paper to Hannah and asked to him for draw a
6

picture of flower. By this activity, I have observed Hannah has excellent drawing skill
because he successfully draw a picture of beautiful flower on the paper as I asked to him.
Hannah has created a beautiful innovation and creativity on paper as I expected to him. This
method assisted me to analyse the mental level of children. In the case of Hannah I has
observed that Hannah have well developed creative skill and innovative skill through which
he can able to develop a picture on paper.
 Social capability- By conducting a group game or activity, I have observed that Hannah
have effective social and interaction skill through which he can able to describe his feeling
and emotion to another children. In the game activity in the care home, I have observed that
Hannah have effective observation and capturing skill because he is frequently captured the
new things and idea when another people interact with him. In the game activity, he has
appropriately shown his strength and impressive interact with other children. On the basis of
this observation, I can collect the information about Hannah's emerging skill that he is very
effective communicator as well as learner in the care home.
As per the above discussion it has been ascertained that I have collected a sort of information about
the Hannah's emerging skill. From this it can be concluded that Hannah is quite good in reading and
poor in writing. Further, he has well developed innovative and creative skill through which he able
to draw a picture. Moreover, he has impressive communication, interaction and learning skill.
3.Explanation about the documentation using a variety of appropriate methods
As per the above discussion it has been ascertained that there are various ways through
which I can collect the information about Hannah emerging skills. While I use these all mention
ways to gather a quality information about children, I am responsible to maintain and record such
information in the proper documents and file. With assistance of effective document and file, I can
properly develop a record about children in the mentioned care centre. In addition to this, I can use
the various sources of record the data or information about emerging skills of children such as file,
folder, CD's, presentation, charting, photography, audio and video recording etc. Being a leader in
the Busy bees care home, I have responsibility to store the collected information in a safe manner so
as I can effectively utilise that. This information assist me in preparing record and report of each
children in the care home. My major objective of this documentation is to store and maintain each
child so as I can utilise this in order to develop a report. For this objective, I can use the several
methods which are as follows- Audio and video recording- Audio recording is that source of documentation through which
person can record the voice of another in particular storage such as CD, mobile etc. In the
7

context of Busy Bees care home, educator can use this source while children read or speak
something. On the other hand video is another effective source for secure or maintain the
document about children. Under this method, educator can shoot the video of children while
they are playing games and activities in the care home. Further, they can also use this source
while child read and write some stories in the care home. Written manner- Written manner is the best and effective method of documentation because
in this method data or information can keep safe and secure. Further, every one can directly
access information in order to meet their objective. In this method, every one can easily
understand describe the information of children. Written method is very easy and safe mode
under which very less chances to lost the data about children emerging skill. The main
advantage of this method is that every one can understand the language of information and
each individual can easily access there. In the context of Busy bees child care home, as a
leader of the group I can use this option in order to maintain and prepare record of hannah's
emerging skill. Photography- Photography is another effective source to prepare the document of child
emerging skills. With the proper camera and vision, photography can make life much better
and it is the best source of capturing the things in the safe mode. By use f photography,
educator can capture or click the memories of children when they perform at the care home.
These captured memory assist educator to shoe emerging skill's of children in front of their
parents and family member.
 Soft copy- This is another best way to secure the document of information in the children
care home. With assistance of this document, individual can safe their files and data in the
soft copy. This can see and display in the computer which is very easy to carry anywhere at
any place. One another advantage of this document is that it can convert into many copy so
care practitioner can easily give the information about child to their parents. Further, by use
of power point presentation, they can effectively describe the emerging skill about children
in front of their parents and family member.
4.Observation records for hannah that includes information
As per the above discussion it has been ascertained that Hannah have various effective
emerging skill and various disability which I have recorded in the diverse range of documents such
as audio or video recording, soft copy,CD, written records, photography etc. On the basis of the
above observation of Hannah I have concluded that Hannah have effective social and creative
capability through which he easily interact with other children in the Busy Bees care home.
8

Following are some example of an observational records for Hannah that includes information and
observation that are valid, summative, representative, significant and relevant-
Activity 1
On the basis of observation, the relevant information has been founded that Hannah have effective
social and creative capabilities through which he is able to properly interact with other. On the
other hand he have impressive creative skill through which he draw a beautiful image or picture.
This information is relevant because this is direct related to Hannah's emerging skill which i
observed during the session.
Activity 2
On the basis of observation the valid information has been founded that Hannah have lack of
effective written skill so as he is unable to write a alphabets on paper sheet. He unable to pick the
pencil in proper manner and understand the words on paper. However, he have effective reading
skill through which he effectively read a story.
5.Series of observation to address aspects of Hannah development over a period
As per the above discussion it has been ascertained that there are various disability and lack
of emerging skills in the Hannah so as a group leader of children in the Busy Bees care home, I
have responsibility to make a series of observations to address aspects of Hannah's development
over a period of time. Thus, I can use the various observations which are as follows-
Observation series Ways to improve emerging
skills
Period scale
Health checks Every morning as Hannah enter
the classroom the teacher
should take note of their health
status. Being a educator in the
Busy Bees care home i have
responsibility to check the
health of Hannah in every
morning. With assistance of this
method, i can maintain the
health of Hannah.
During 1 Month

Interview and conversation Children are happy to discus
their thoughts, idea and work
with adults if they trust that
adult is truly interested and
respectful. This is the best
method to improve the
emerging skill in the Hannah.
Being a educator in the Busy
Bees care home i will organise
interview and conversations so
as Hannah can able to disclose
his emotions and feelings with
me. This is the best way to
identify the weakness of
children and make them
improved.
During 1 month
PART 2
1. Examples of observations (including one out of character observation) that might be used to
assess Thomas:
Intellectual disability is mostly characterised under a limited state of intelligence in the
people suffering from it. This involves some constricting functions in reasoning, problem solving
and learning, etc. It however tends to arise before the age of 18 with some major signs of detection
to address an active state of intellectual disability in children's. They hereby possess certain distinct
needs to be fulfilled in order to make them interpret something. It is however done by varied
observatory tactics that are suitable as per their existent level of impairment by arranging different
set of activities as defined below-
a. Play preferences
10

Playing time of children is referred to be the most appropriate time to observe the child as a
mean of acknowledging their preferences. It is when they are thoroughly engaged in playing,
observing them provides an immense knowledge about their developmental state. This also assists
in addressing their emerging level of interests and skills by observing certain eminent things like
what actually they are referring to do and are trying to express. Preferences regarding indoor and
outdoor games can be used to attain specific results for the development aspect of a child. Moreover
this will help analysing the child behavioural aspect. Beside this, the type of toys they are using to
play that could develop their skills in a directional manner to find out any influential mean in it. It is
basically to detect any problem solving skills they are developing in themselves by playing. All
these observations can be recorded by using a checklist and time sample that will comprise with all
the above mentioned considerations of an observer.
b. Social interactions
It is basically a resultant factor of the preceding context of play preferences in children like
Thomas who is duly suffering from an intellectual disability. It is where any sort of imitation and
negotiation during his play session can be analysed to depict his social interactions with other
persons. Sociogram is proven to be one of the best enforceable tool over here that tends to measure
the map of friendly relationship among the children by envisioning the way they use to interact with
one another. It hereby tend to reflect a pattern of social interaction that is being done by the children
with intellectual disability like Thomas. Moreover social interaction aspects of Thomas will help
11

collecting information regarding his response and acceptability of people around him. This may
help in understand his needs and reactions in situations and with his peer and friends.
c. Communication and language
Children like Thomas who are suffering from a disabled state of intellectuality are evident to
deal with a deferred development of language. It is however due to a lower cognitive evolution in
them that in turn makes it difficult for them to communicate in a definite manner. It is with a major
issue in interpreting their verbal interactions to respond in a way they want. It is especially in
context to understand the exact content that they are using to express something in verbal.
Sociogram is yet again referred to be a prominent mean to observe the communication skills of
Thomas by together referring to the language that is being used by him while interacting with other
children's. It can however be used with some other additive tools and models by using suitable
language with simple set of sentences and visual clippings to accompany the language that is being
used by Thomas over here. Some other tactics are giving repetitive data with prompt directions to
him as a guiding tool to repeat any new set of information. This will largely assist in making a two
way communication with a non judgemental and acceptive attitude of the observer by together
promoting the child to speak into an appropriate way.
d. Thinking styles
It is basically in order to address attentional difficulties in children's like Thomas where they
are together evident to deal with a derelict state of mental retardation. As a result to which, their
adopted style of thinking about a particular thing largely tends to differ from the normal children.
Work samples can be hereby employed to observe a similar state in Thomas as a mean of aiding
him with suitable materials and certain accessible activities to be performed by them. Breaking
down the tasks into small proportions is yet another supportive mean where it can be carried out by
dividing them into simpler parts. This is for instance to provide simplest and precise directions with
a guiding consent of provisioning them with continual feedback's by together assisting them to
participate in play sessions with other children's by framing their groups.
e. Physical abilities
It is where the children suffering from intellectual disability are evident to deal with varied
physical impairment as well. The factual type of damage in the physical condition of the children
however depends from one child to another with a prime responsibility of the observer to address
their factual state. Thomas being a child dealing with intellectual disability is apparent to face some
common disorders in his physic like a weaken posture and grip of holding things in a better manner.
Due to which, the things constantly use to slip from their hands and fall over the places by itself
12

creating a sense of irritation in them. For which, a comfortable arrangement of sitting or laying
down should be considered in the play house and other significant places where the children use to
engage themselves. Some illustrated methods are to use bolsters that helps to position themselves in
a comfortable manner with yet another substantial usage of a raised tripod and replaced ramps in
place of stairs with a water table on the blocks with an ease to consume it. Additionally, thick
pencils and crayons with tape on the painting brushes can be used to make a better grip while
holding those where puzzles attached with knobs can also be used to make an easy placement of the
pieces from one place to another. Photo observation tools can be implicated in this particular section
to depict the physical abilities of Thomas over here.
f. Emotional status
It is basically to help Thomas to express his feelings in a dignified state with less or limited
choices of words and phrases for it. Children with intellectual disability often finds it difficult to
explicit their feelings in an appropriate manner which makes it difficult for the interpreter to
provide the child with the actual needs that they are demanding for. A silent lactation with a relaxing
atmosphere is thereby required to be created for them with soft cushions and pillows to retreat the
children's. In addition to which, it together needs to create a reposeful environment with optimistic
feedbacks for the child by setting agreeable norms and anticipations by using soft toys like dolls for
permitting the child to explicate their inner feelings and thoughts.
2. Interpret the information and observations to identify individual emerging skills, capabilities, pot
ential, interests, and preferences of Thomas that might be used to guide program strategies to
foster his development.
This section is basically in order to interpret the above observed state of Thomas in terms of
the list of observatories that are being used to engross the identified elements regarding him. It has
consequently discovered some pivotal points of reference like the emerging skills and abilities of
Thomas with his reflected potentiality and interest levels. These preferences have in turn enacted as
a guiding tool to support in the developmental plan for Thomas to foster his growth. Below
specified are the revealed sense of Thomas in terms of- Emerging skills- The rising skills of Thomas has been analysed in addressing the things
more quickly in addition to which, he is taking more interest in participating in play groups
activities with other set of children. It has been observed by the applied tool of time scale
and checklist use to discover the play preferences of Thomas at the time he was entirely
engaged with children's with a pleased sense of playing with them. Capabilities- It is on analysing certain capable traits of Thomas at the time of making social
13

interactions with the people he was intending to play with. In context to which, a helpful
nature of Thomas has been assessed over here where he was together capable in configuring
their requisitions as well. Potentials- The potent traits of Thomas has been determined as his reluctant sense of using
any supporting tool to aid himself in consuming water and using the comfortable means that
are being provided to them in the play house as a mean of resting on it. He instead opted to
perform individual tasks with no support of any other additive equipments. It has together
depicted a potent attribute of Thomas in terms of defining his physical strength. Interests- The interest level of Thomas was analysed during the play session with a major
use of painting tools to act like a professed painter where he together referred to use varied
tools of painting kept for them by not leaving a single thing to be used. Apart from this,
learning stories is also reflected to be yet another prime interest of Thomas. It was especially
addressed at the time of referring to his social interaction where he was keen to perceive
others expressions as well.
 Preferences- A prior preference of Thomas was evaluated at the rime he way busy playing
with other groups of children with a major stress on playing with the painting tools that were
provided to them for the purpose of drawing. With reference to which, he hereby opted to
draw his surrounding areas that were encircled by the pictures of trees, toys and other
analogous impressions.
3.Using the information from the observations, use it to list the program plan for Hannah and Thom
as:
Social
This section is basically to identify the social state of children suffering from the intellectual
state of disability where they hereby face varied issues in terms of characterising the cognitive
impulsions of themselves. This in turn creates difficulty in making social interactions with people
with a low cognitive evolution in them. This in turn creates several other issues like delayed
development of language in them with a prior difficulty for the person to understand their factual
needs and demands.
a. Language
It is basically in correspondence to the identified state of Thomas where he together has
some vital issues in using a corrective language to explicate his realistic needs to the person trying
to discover the same. With respect to which, a functional system of interaction has been planned for
him that can be easily portable to interpret the expressed clause of Thomas.
14

b. Cognitive
The cognitive impulsion defines the psychological features of the children's like Thomson
where there exists some segmented tact of such attribute in them. Attention is at a foremost state of
identification where the children with less or moderate intellectual disability found it difficult to
give a prior attention in a particular set of task at the time of performing it. It is therefore required
for the teacher or instructor to use a guiding context for such children where they can patiently
direct them to give a attentively perform a task with continual feedback's. This is in context to the
memory formation of such children suffering from intellectual disabilities where they often face
with another problem of short memories with little remembrance of things.
c. Physical
The physical disability of children's like Hannah and Thomson can be prevented by
implicating some replaced means of comfort where the stairs can be replaced by ramps to ease them
to transmit from one place to another without hurting themselves. Likewise, some other vital
configurations like a prime usage of soft cushions and pillows can be used to comfort them for
resting in an accurate mode by not deflecting their problematic postures. Another prime issue of
gripping things is identified over here where thick equipments can be used so as to ease the children
to hold them in a correct manner. This is for instance to state about a principle usage of thick pencils
and crayons and other need based tools of drawing, etc.
d. Sensory
This is in context to the sensory formation of children's like Hannah and Thomas where they
are evident to have certain sensational impairments that relates to both psychological and
psychiatrist disorders in them.
4. Provide examples of feedback you might give to Hannah and Thomas about their skills and comp
etence and promote remembering.(153)
In order to improve the emerging skills and ability in the Hannah and Thomas, his parents and
educator have utmost liability because most time of them spend with their parents and teacher. Here
some of the suggestion or feedback which should give by educator in order to improve children
skills and competence. These feedbacks are as follows- Give explicit instructions- This is the most effective way through which I might improve the
skills, competence and promote remembering. In this way I understand the needs and
requirement of Hannah and Thomas and try to fulfil them in the care home. In the period of
study and playing I will give them a proper guidance and instruction. This, children can
properly do their work and able to imp[rove their emerging skills.
15

 Provide scaffolding- Teacher and parents can support children emerging social and
emotional skill through scaffolding describes progressive support that upon what children
already know, such as the names of basic emotion, so that they can learn new skills, like
how to identify when a playmate is sad. In the context of Hannah and Thomas, I will
provide a proper guide and scaffolding in order to improve their emerging skill.
 Practices through books- This is another best practices through which parents and teacher
can improve the emerging skill in the children. In the context of Hannah and Thomas, I will
use the books because through these children can easily understand the meaning and main
character. For example, story books can support children's social and emotional learning.
5. If you wanted to share information with Thomas’s parents, how might you make the time to do th
is?
Informal contact is valuable and meets many needs of both families and staff. The objective of this
conference is usually to allow teachers to discuss the child's progress and give the parents an
opportunity to share their observations, idea and concerns. In this manner, problem can discussed
and solution generated by teacher and parents together. Conference should usually from 30 to 45
minutes and should held between one and three times during the program year. In the context of
Thomas, I will develop a schedule conferences at a convenient time for the family and will convey
the families about the purpose of the conference. In additional to this, family room or the classroom
will offer families a comfortable and familiar place to meet. If the conference is set for 30 minutes,
respect the time limit. If all the concern and information have not been covered, reschedules another
conference for a mutually convenient time. On the other hand written report are another formal
method of sharing information with family of Thomas. With assistance of this method will able to
provide a written record of the child's progress, overall development, preferences and style of

6. If Hannah started becoming withdrawn and crying for no apparent reason and curling up into the
foetus position, who might you follow up your concerns, regarding her development with?
In the Busy Beer care home, when Hannah started becoming withdrawn and crying for no apparent
reason and curling up into the foetus position then in this situation as a educator I have to handle in
a proper manner. Being a leader in a group, I have to handle each children in an effective manner so
as they can properly grow their mental level as well as emerging skills. In the situation of Hannah, I
will use different rewards and toys for him. I will give rewards in order to stop his crying and deal
with him in a polite manner so as he come in the stage of calm. On the other hand, I will organise
gaming activity so as Hannah can enjoy himself and forget his crying.

PART 3
Explanation how educator might design an observation system with other in the service provider
Observation is the process of watching a child at work or play without interfering in the
activity. In other word it can be said that observation system is a way through which individual get
information about the program. In a simple meaning it can be said that observation is a process
under which individual can analyse, assess and identify some characteristics, traits, performance,
ability, activity and action of another person. As a service provider in the care home, I can use
various methods in order to design an observation system with other. These observation system are
as follows- Direct observation- This is the most and purest form of observation under which people
watching another people condition and observe their activities and actions. In the context of
health and care organisation, service provide can use this direct observation method under
which they can observe each activities of children and analyse that either in the children
improvement are exists or not.
 Tests of various kinds-In this observation method, service provide can take test of various
kinds such as physical, mental etc. In the context of children, they can take test related to
their academic skills.
CONCLUSION
The above report is bifurcated into the four section which have consideration about the
observation, records of information, techniques of observation and design the observation system.
In order to create a proper observation about someone, there is required a relevant, summative and
relevant information. From this project report it has been ascertained that there are various methods
through which service provider in the care home can maintain and secure the data of observation
about children. Furthermore, a proper documentation assist educator to develop a record about
children emerging skills. It has been also concluded that in order to collect information about the
children, care educator can use various tools such as test, observation, organise activity etc,
