Observer Influencing Interactions & Behaviours

Post by TCPocketRocket » Mon May 28, 2012 5:05 pm

Hi there!

Was wondering if someone would be able to help me?

I'm stuck on 2 things, one question which is, how does the observer influence interactions and behaviours?

And could someone please explain what observational questions are? I'm observing a 16month old and am required to include observational questions into my observations although im not too sure what these would be?

I would say you influence behaviours by re-directing certain behaviours such as fighting and running, and encouraging sharing, other then that you should not really influence their play as it is supposed to be the childs choice what they do. Questions would be like "what are you making" "What colour is this?" "Are they your fingers?" Etc but its a bit different for a 16 month old! I suppose you couls still ask questions but wont get much repsonse :S
