Short Questions
1.Explain the primary purpose for observing young children in early childhood settings?
Practitioners may collect information before and after children are conditioned for a period of time by watching and listening. It helps educators to assess the gains made by children and the need for additional opportunities to improve their learning.
Through a variety of methods, clinicians may assess individual children's learning interests and styles. Faculties of certain activities and opportunities are also provided to practitioners.
The principal goal of children's assessment is to determine where they are on the learning spectrum and identify problems, misinterpretations or comprises.
2.What role does having a good understanding of child development play in observation and planning for development?
To plan and effectively document, and use children's information to interpret the knowledge and skills of practitioners. With the requisite children's education, we know what their actions, talents, abilities and understanding is to be expected at different ages. Medical practitioners may understand subtle signs and forms that children tell us what they want and what they want to know about. Practitioners able to interact with children successfully will strengthen and complicate their learning.
Seeing an undervaluation of childhood education, their learning and social and cultural factors and the importance of play, all assist us as educators in preparing our curricula and taking decisions to hire adolescents.
3. To complete the following tasks refer to the following reading:
· Guide to the National Quality Standard (pp. 28-29), ACECQA (2011).
With reference to Element 1.1.2 who can educators use to gain knowledge about individual children’s strengths, abilities and interests?
Knowledge of the strengths and abilities of individual children directs the professional judgment of educators and coordinators in bringing children together in a variety of learning outcomes and in ways that maximize their learning.
Viewing children as active participants and decision-makers opens up opportunities for educators to go bearing in mind what children can do and learn. Educators must therefore value and work with the unique qualities and abilities of each child.
Diversity in family life means that children "belong, be and become" in many respects. You bring to your learning your various experiences, prospects, expectations, knowledge and skills. If educators value the diversity of families and communities and focus on children's interests, they will encourage the welfare of children and the development of children. We take program decisions that protect and respect every child's right to understand and respond to the complexities of life in children and families through their cultures, personalities, skills, and strengths.
4.With reference to Element 1.1.2 what sources of documentation can educators use to gain knowledge about individual children’s strengths, abilities and interests?
In addition to examining the child directly, the child's family may provide information; other educators; childcare specialists and practitioners, e.g. speech pathologists and educational support services.
The details about the family, its priorities, abilities, skills and desires of individual children can be collected by entry methods, surveys, different types of evaluations of the infant, working tests, experts in development reports, e.g. speech pathologist.
It is the responsibility of educators to collect and analyze as much information as possible about the infant. This information is gathered into a child portfolio. The purpose of a portfolio is to collect information as a learning evaluation. The evidence shows what the child can do, how the child applies knowledge, insights into the learning style of the child, interests and preferences. It also reveals how the child communicates with peers and adults, how the child develops and maintains relationships and how the child sees him / herself.
5.Explain the purpose of a portfolio in relation to assessment for learning?
Portfolios give parents the ability to see the developmental success of their child in motion and consider the perspectives of their child away from home. Portfolios are for individual children and contain a collection of different tests and papers that represent the growth and learning success of a child. This provides proof and examples of a child's progress year-round. Portfolios provide educators with the opportunity to reflect on the contributions and accomplishments of an individual child over time. Portfolios enable children and families, where all contributions are welcomed and understanding and understanding of children's learning, to take part in a collaborative approach.
6.List the key documents that can be used in a child’s portfolio to support learning outcomes and assessment for learning.
Portfolios are produced in a variety of ways. Three ring binders, accordion style boxes, scrapbooks, a CD-ROM disk per child or online. Use of individual directories. There are a variety of documents when completing portfolios that educators are already filling out for each child. These include observations such as running papers, photographs, progress checklists, etc., stories from individuals and groups, works of art, half yearly studies, family input and feedback types and more. These include numerous observations.
7. In relation to Quality Area 1 Educational Program and Practice, list and describe the three Elements that contribute to Standard 1.2 being achieved?
1. Intentional learners should understand that learning takes place in social contexts and experiences and communication are essential to learning.
2. To use strategies to enhance child thinking and learning (such as modeling and demonstration, open questioning, speculation, explain, and sustained shared conversations)
3. Step into and out of different role models flexibly and rely on various strategies to support children's awareness building in the sense of children's play shifts and use their professional knowledge.
8. A narrative or learning story is one way of recording observations of children.
List five key features of a narrative or learning story.
A Story of learning is a format used to record the learning of the child. This describes the process of a child's learning by "story telling."
There is a lot of detail in an learning story explaining the process that happens or an occurrence, the interaction of the child during or with others, interactions, interests, skills etc. Essentially, it is a tale about the identification and definition of a child's play.
A learning story differs from observations like running and anecdotal records, because it focuses on what the child can and doesn't. Contrary to findings, a certain capacity and measures the child takes to achieve the particular skill need not be centered.
Learning stories are also used as an assessment method for the understanding of the education patterns of a child.
This helps us evaluate and prepare for additional experience that expands the desires and abilities of a child.
9.What is meant by the term ‘naturalistic observations’?
The research method widely used by psychologists and other social scientists is the naturalistic interpretation. This technique involves the study of the participants ' spontaneous behavior in a natural environment.
10. Assessment involves interpreting evidence and making informed judgements based on sound professional knowledge.
Match the assessment descriptor to the correct type of assessment.
Answer

B
· Occurs when children reflect on and monitor their progress to inform their future learning goals
· involves children actively constructing their knowledge and using their acquired skills and knowledge to construct new knowledge and skills
· This process enhances the child’s self esteem and self confidence as a capable learner
a. Assessment for learning
C
· Occurs when educators use inferences about children’s progress to inform their teaching
· Involves gaining an understanding children’s existing knowledge through carefully planned learning experiences which allows the educator to focus on how children learn and how to scaffold learning
· Both the educator and the child are engaged in assessing performance.
b. Assessment as learning
