hi windy you need to look at the different types of observatoins that are available ie tick list, target sample, post it note and when you would use each. let me know if you need any more help. most handbook will have a section on this

Maria

- free description – observer writes notes what a child is doing within a very short period of time
- checklists and tick chart – used to assess children’s stage of development
- time sample – used to look at children’s activity over a predetermined length of time
- event sample – used to look closely at one aspect of a child’s development or behaviour
- target child – used to record one child’s activity over a long period without any gaps in the recording process

thanks very much
