I need to do the checklist while watching the 3 videos. Then I need do a 2 page paper about 3 things the child could do and 3 things he couldn't do. I need to provide examples of what he did and lastly we just give out our opinion if he’s in the right path for his age by using 4 references to backup our opinion. That’s all correct?


Psychology 270 CD 2250 Child Observation Report Guidelines The Child Observation Report is an opportunity to practice your observation skills with the specific purpose of focusing on several developmental domains. Instead of having 1 large paper, you will submit 3 Observation Summaries across the semester. Each Observation Summary will include: a) Developmental Checklists b) Observation Summary By the end of the semester, you will have focused on all 5 developmental areas: physical, perceptual/cognitive, social, emotional, and language. 1. For each Observation Summary (1-3) you will watch the videos assigned in the Canvas Tab “Assignment Instructions” and fill out the appropriate checklist. 2. Each observation summary (1, 2, & 3) should include: a. Your completed checklist for that domain b. A 2-3 page summary, which includes: i. What the child you observed could and could not do. 1. Provide three items that the child could do AND three items of things they could not do from the checklist. 2. For each item they could and could not do provide a detailed example. You want to be able to describe what the child was doing that helped inform your decision about what the child could or could not do on the checklist. 3. Be sure to include the video number in your examples for each Observation Summary. For example: “In video 3, the infant in the green shirt started to babble while the teacher was singing twinkle, twinkle little star” ii. State whether your child meets developmental milestones for his/her age and provide evidence of how you came to this conclusion. Your assertions of whether the child is on track or not developmentally should be supported by sources such as your textbook, notes, PowerPoints, and other resources. 1. Two of your sources can be from the textbook, notes or PowerPoints. 2. At least two of the other resources you select should be from scholarly research journals. You can use these websites here to search for articles and journals. a. https://www.csusb.edu/library b. https://scholar.google.com/ iii. Each Observation Summary should include a list of references in APA format 1. You should have a minimum of four references. 2. To cite course material such as PowerPoints see below: a. Title of PowerPoint (2021). CD 2250 Summaries should be typed, double spaced, and should be approximately 2-3 pages not including references page.
