EYE L3 - Criteria 3.15 Longitudinal Study! HELP!!!

[abbiejcarter]

Hi everybody,


I'm really struggling with the critical assessment of my longitudinal study! I've got the marking criteria and I'm trying to work to it and I keep asking my tutor for help but all she says is "just refer to your observations and activities" but I just feel like I'm getting nowhere!!! I don't know what I need to write, how long it needs to be or what sort of detail I need to go into!
My contract finished at my setting on Friday so I can't get anymore info on the child and I just feel like dropping out at the last hurdle :(

Any pointers on what and how to write it would be really helpful!
Thanks in advance,
Abbie!

Hi, if it still helps, you can find support on pages 382+ of this Early Years Educator book for longitudinal studies, specifically page 391 that looks at AC 3.1 Critically evaluate the outcomes of longitudinal studies:

• Introducing your study
• Child's development stage, interests and needs.
• What your own role is
• Explanation of why you chose your assessment methods
• What the current framework is for your setting (England is EYFS)
• Theorhetical perspectives
• Partnership working]
• Holistic development
• The environment
• Play for learning and development

Your tutor is best placed to help as they know the details of your study and what you've already written. If you're stuck on a particular aspect of the study please feel free to post xx

All the best xx
