Q: Complete the following table below by matching the observation type of the method. List of observation types include:
- Narrative (Anecdotal records)
- Narrative (Running records)
- Learning Stories
- Jottings
- Diary/Journal
- Samples of work/artefacts
- Time samples
- Event samples
- Visual diaries
- Checklists and rating scales


please match with this Method:

1. To record child’s engagement and participation over time. Provides information on interests and friendships. Can include written reflections, photos and work samples

2. Behaviour modification baselines and to track child/children’s participation and learning opportunities over a period of time

3. When a large amount of detail is required about an event or interaction. Generally focused on one child only

4. When you need to record short notes on the child’s interactions, learning opportunities and play, or characteristics of behaviour. These can be used in a series to create a more detailed observation

5. Opportunity to assess children’s progress over time but these need to be supported with descriptive jottings to provide the context

6. Analysis of challenging behaviours with a view to identifying the cause and effect of behaviours

7. Can be used for either individual or groups of children. Detail events that happened during the day. Can include narrative and visual (photos/work samples)

8. To provide overview of the child’s development, noting the presence or absence of specified behaviours or skills

9. After the event – to record quick snapshot of child/children at a specific time/place with specified duration

10. Used for capturing information about the event or learning opportunity and includes significant detail. This can be used for a group of children
