Observation techniques
Different observation techniques help to focus the observation so appropriate data is collected and presented in meaningful ways. * Anecdotal - This is a written narrative that tells the story as it happens. Observations can be of planned activities, but spontaneous observations can show surprising things about a child's development that might never be seen. * Schedules - It is helpful to research the area of development before observing. A pre-planned development checklist helps to focus the observation, but can be limited unless individual details are recorded. * Charts and Pictograms - Charts and pictures can present observation data in colourful ways to make your portfolio appear more interesting. * Time sampling - Observations of children are recorded at fixed regular intervals of time to note what is happening at that moment. For example children's play during a morning can be recorded every 15 minutes. * Event sampling- Observations focus on particular events to build up a pattern of a child's behaviour over a period of days or weeks. For example to discover what provokes tantrums, or how a child reacts to leaving their carer at the start of each day in nursery. * Target child - A series of observations to give a picture of an individual child's holistic development. A baby will change rapidly during your time in placement and a longitudinal study of a child's development over several months is fascinating.

It is important to remember that each area of learning and development does not work in isolation but they are all in fact interlinked. Good quality activities will cover more than one area of development. For example, allowing children to access the outdoors will not only support their physical development, but encourage their communication and exploration of their environment. Where a child experiences a delay in one area, it is likely to limit their learning and development in the other five...a child with cerebral palsy who experiences hand-eye coordination difficulties is likely to find completing a puzzle difficult therefore hindering
