Your Question?
Hi I'm a beginner and just started my certificate 3 I am 3 units in, but I am stuck on this question ..... List the key factors that may impact on an individual's ability to observe and record information!!!!

I am really stuck on it and I can't hand my unit in till I get it right

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Do I put if the child is un well or not feeling the best or like their normal self, then maybe the observe can't put a record in, as the child doesn't normally act like that

Description and Message:

I think the question is asking you,

What might prevent the educator from observing and recording information.

You could write something like, there isn't enough staff on the floor therefore not leaving you adequate time to writw or record the observation, which may also cause you to forget about the observation all together; having no record of it.

Or not having proper templates, procedures for recorsing observations or the day's activities.

Hope that helps, or makes sense.

=D

Sorry about the the typos, i'm using my phone and the spell check on it is a horror.

Thank you that makes sence now... So it's about the educator not the children

Yep moosemash is spot on - it is asking about you as the educator - what could affect your ability to observe and record. This can come down to many things, you may plan to observe children during the afternoon session but a child comes down unwell, you are interrupted constantly by visitors, the activity you wanted to observe the child doing did not happen, you are feeling unwell yourself... lots of different reasons.
Hope this helps
