Description

Observation of young children is a fundamental requirement for early years practice. However, acquiring the skills to observe and plan for learning can be challenging. This practical guide supports you in preparing a child observation case study using a step-by-step approach. It covers the whole process, from choosing a child to study to analyzing and interpreting the information gathered. The book includes guidance on ethics, techniques, data gathering, and potential pitfalls, as well as examples of good observations to help evaluate your own work. A fully worked example of a child observation case study is also included in the final chapter. Cath Arnold's expert guidance makes this book an invaluable resource for students and professionals studying early years or early childhood studies at foundation, undergraduate, or Master's degree level.
