Hi

I am totally stuck on how to even start a Time Sampling sheet. Question is stating to observe a child in some youtube videos and then fill out the time Sampling Template, the question does not however state the Target Behaviour that I am supposed to be observing. Has anyone else come across this? and are you able to help get me started?

TIA

Dani

A time sample provides a snapshot of a child’s day. It is used to record the occurrence of a child’s behaviour at particular times of day, for example group time or meal times. It is often used when a carer is concerned about a particular behaviour and needs to know how often it occurs. Time samples can be taken every half hour over a day or for shorter time intervals of five or ten minutes.

I'm providing a sample of a time sample observation sheet:
