Through observations, educators' programming can help make improvements to the environment and facilitate learning. Some of the tools to observe children's behaviour include anecdotal records, checklist, running records etc

2. We observe a child to guide our decisions.
3. We observe a child to see if there is any intervention needed to address particular issue.

Some of the tools are 
1. Audio records
2.Video records
3. Written records
4. activities setups like role play]]> 2022-09-14 06:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ece_01/tocax9ibmu75j9xp/wish/2295757778 https://padlet.com/ece_01/tocax9ibmu75j9xp/wish/2295758445 We observe children to know whether they have achieved little developmental milestones and to know in what way can we design the lesson plans to cater to their needs and help them to improve.

We can use checklist and narrative accounts to find out what, when, where and why children behave in such manner and then respond effectively and appropriate to it. ]]> 2022-09-14 06:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ece_01/tocax9ibmu75j9xp/wish/2295759034 https://padlet.com/ece_01/tocax9ibmu75j9xp/wish/2295759357 We observe children so that we can better understand their behaviour, character, personality and more about how we can further use our observation to plan our lessons and classroom setup to maximize their learning potential. Without observation, we won't be able to try to understand the children about their behaviour and actions. Just like the iceberg, we cannot gauge a child based on what we saw from an incident or scenario. Only through time and observation then can we really try to understand and further help the child's development. 

Some tools that we can use to observe children's behaviour would be checklists, observations through running or anecdotal records, time/ event/ duration sampling and more. We can come up with different activities or tasks for the children to do so we can observe the different behaviours and occurence depending on the type of outcome we are looking for. ]]> 2022-09-14 06:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ece_01/tocax9ibmu75j9xp/wish/2295759357 https://padlet.com/ece_01/tocax9ibmu75j9xp/wish/2295759385 Since children are all different, we as the educator need to understand them before we can guide them. We observe children to gain a better idea of their behaviour, personality, and development. Tools such as the various observation methods (running record, time sampling, checklist etc), photos, videos, activities, can aid us in observing children's behaviour.]]> 2022-09-14 06:13:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ece_01/tocax9ibmu75j9xp/wish/2295759385 https://padlet.com/ece_01/tocax9ibmu75j9xp/wish/2295759484 To help caregiver to better understand why a child having a challenging behaviour and provide the required support to help them to grow better in their well being.
Also the need for early intervention in the early years. 

Proper documentation such as anecdotal record, running record, audio, video, checklists records and etc.

The collected information through the observations recorded a child's strengths and the area of improvement that allow us to manage in establish the effective learning experience to support the child's development.

Example of tools for observation are video recording, photographs, event sampling record, time sampling and checklist.

Children who feel cared for, safe, and secure interact with others and engage in their world to learn. They are more likely to gain skills, and to do better as they enter school.
We can observe a child by using anecdotal records, running records, time sampling , event sampling or even photographs.

Observation allows us to keep track of their physical, intellectual (and language), emotional and social development which will include their understanding their growth, strengths, weaknesses, interests, dislikes and even habits.
