I prefer this method as it is much easier for me to observe and do the documenting and the same time can capture the moments.

Video is very important to observe the details and exact behavioral, easy to track back about the incidents too.
Running record would help me understand the child behaviors.

children in their early years move very quickly. using running record and jotting down as events happen may result in missing an occurence that could have been an important piece of information to determine the child's development progress. in video recordings however, we are able to review, replay the event and make addendums to our recordings.

Running Records- it helps to pen down all incidents that happen in a detailed observation.
Media Technique- useful tool for parents to understand about the child's progress, strengths n area of improvement. Together with teacher,they can work together to improve on the child's development. Also useful for teacher who follow them for the next level.

I prefer to use video recording because  you can review and observe the child through capture movements from the video. Using Anecdotal record also helps to collects  some information from the child and describe the child's behavior not what you think.-Christine

I choose those 2 methods because video recording is able to collect the data that I miss out during our daily interactions with the children. I also able to recollect the data if I need to do some discussions or as a proof if there is any incidents that occurred and it is more detailed compared to other methods. However video recordings are quite tedious to do because we need the camera and time to record the children. I think it depends on what we want to  observe in terms of the developmental of the child and also the day to day basis. Sometimes we can record but sometimes we can't. Therefore we can use anecdotal record on the event that has occurred so that we can get the significant moments that could tell us about the child  development, interests, skills and needs.

Depends on situation. On a day-to-day basis, I think anecdotal records is a good way because it allows me to record a specific learning area or significant action that tells me on child’s development, interest, skills, needs. Based on what I observe on this specific learning area, I can plan for follow-up strategies and improve the child’s skills or build on his/her interest. Videos are good as sometimes by looking, we forget what really happened. Video recording allows us to replay a scene and observe for details we may miss out on the first time. (Melissa)

Record live actions of children for later observations and discussions, and also useful to understand the child development stages.

Media Technique (Video)

To me i think video recording is more suitable for young children because we are able to captured what the child is doing / saying. It will also allow us as educarers to review and re note what other details about the child that might not be recorded during the first time. We will also check on other points while watching the video. Teachers can also share the video with parents on how they react/ accomplish something. And also helps us to note down our objective.

As for observing the child's development, its best that we might be able to see the real situation and happenings to be able to fully observe the great progress on the child's development. It helps to recall the specific event, records children's voices/responses as well on how they express their self through gestures, movements (body language).  In my own opinion, it is more suitable to use as a tool in observing children's development as it gives you a full package of the different kinds of domains in learning that you might want to observe.

Video Recording
This method is more suitable as we are able to capture the moments; movements and actions. We can observe and  note the interactions between the caregivers or peers too.

I think this method is more suitable to use in early years is because it can capture moments  in the camera which we can always go back and view it again before notting down what had happened. We can also act as a evidence when you want to share something such as milestone with the parents.

I think recording children on the video is the best method. It provide mostly the same purposes of what other documentation methods do. Teachers are able to review back the video in his/her own time, noting down a detailed account of the children speech/ actions and not missing out minor important details.

Running Records- it helps to pen downall incidents that happen in a very detailed observation.
Media Technique- useful for parents to know about the child's progress n development. Is a tool for teachers to show parents about children's behaviour, strengths n area of improvement. With these, parents can work together with the teachers to make progress on the child's development. Also helps teachers to understand the child if they are following the children to the next level.

I think the best method for observation still depends on the context/situation and the purpose of the observer. However, generally speaking, recording a video would be the most encompassing kind as it captures more of what happened. Recording a video would allow teachers to review what happened and note other details which they may not have noticed the first time, as it happened. Teachers could rewatch the video while focusing on different aspects/domain each time, and even check for other clues in the environment or event which could further explain the behaviour. In addition, this could also be one way of communicating a child's progress with parents. I think that this is especially useful for young kids who are developing quickly. Parents would definitely appreciate seeing their child's firsts which they might've missed due to it happening at school.

It is able to capture meaningful moments (evidence) with sound and movements/actions of the child. Then, use it to share with other teachers and parents on the child's development or to write notes about what happen.

In my point of view, making observation to young children is best to record it through video but teacher must be careful in taking video as the child might be distracted if he/she knows that his/her teacher is taking a video. First, it allows teacher to watch and review again his/her observation for that certain child. Second, it records the whole observation. Lastly, it helps teacher to note down the real outcome that goes on the observation based on his/her objective.
