Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools NVQ 2
Unit 009 Observe and report on pupil performance

How and why to record features of the context and off-task
behaviours when making observations of pupils’ performance
on specific tasks and activities.

Many thanks, everyone!

Hi, I would think 'context means writing/recording what the features of the learning or play activity are - ie. what the Children/child has been asked to do, how they are to do it, why/what the objective or aim is.

A few reasons why recording off-task behaviour might be required could be to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching method, guage the interest level / attainment or performance of Children - to judge how engaging the task/material is, possibly to identify areas of behavioural concern - and maybe to enable targetting of 'support.

Are you able to chat with any colleagues to help with this?
