Individual
Assignment: Classroom Observation Summary
Observe children ages 2 to 6
at a selected site for at least 1 hour, preferably in a school classroom. If a
classroom is unavailable, observe children of these ages in any learning
environment, for instance the YMCA, a library with educational programming, a
local church, or a daycare facility that offers preschool.
Write a 750- to 1,050-word
summary of your experience, reflecting on the principles and concepts of
theory. Include the following:
Site description, including the number of children observed
The developmental stages of children present
The typical and atypical cognitive, physical, emotional, and
social development of children observed
Reflections on your experience
A discussion about nature versus nurture and your feelings on the
issue
A discussion of the cultural aspects in the environment or a
recommendation for incorporating diversity
How theory relates to the physical, cognitive, social, and
emotional development you observed
Implications for classroom application (What could you take away
that might be useful for you to use in a classroom?)
