Observation

Much of what we know about children is learned through careful observation of child growth and behavior. With older children questionnaires and interviews are effective methods for obtaining information.

Observation examines the techniques of observation, recording, and interpretation, all of which enable the observer to gain a picture of the whole child both as an individual and as part of a group. To insure that the picture is valid, the observer must be objective, suspend value judgments and be knowledgeable about child development.

Students, professionals and researchers use observation to learn about children's needs. They may then plan appropriate interventions, experiences, and environments for children.
