Graphing Observation Data

Post by ashleed » Tue Jun 07, 2016 6:06 pm

Hi I need some assistance. I was to observe a child over a 4 week period with behaviour concerns and I documented everytime this child either hit, bit, pushed etc other children. I recorded the date and time of each incident also. How would I go about graphing this data? I was thinking possibly a line graph but it wont chart the specific behaviour just that an incident occurred. :/

Using a graph couldn't you record the specific behaviour and how many times it occurred over a four week period?

For example:

Record the number of times Joe Schmoe pushed a child within a 4 week period...
