The Question is:
1. What report-writing standards and protocols should you follow when writing observation reports?
My answer is:
• Anecdotal records – a brief description or “word picture”.
• Running records – keeping track of ‘everything’ that happens in a specified time period
• Learning Stories - uses “story telling” to describe a child’s learning process.
And when I’m writing the observation reports, I need to follow the Confidentiality and privacy procedures at my workplace.
It is extremely important that you are ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of others when recording observations. You have a responsibility to check that appropriate permissions are sourced prior to conducting observations or using any recording device such as cameras, videos, sound recorders to sample activities and events at your centre.
Can you please give me your advice/opinion
Thank you in advance.
