What are physiological measures?

Narrative summaries of a child's activity.

What is a running record?

interview or questionnaire

Give an example of a self report you may use in your classroom?

1. Pose a question 2. Design an investigation 3. Collect data 4. Analyze the data 5. Share the results

What are the steps of the scientific method?

Four Primary Techniques for Collecting Information: Self Reports Tests and other Assessment Tasks Physiological Measures Observations of Behavior

What are the Four primary techniques for collecting information?

Strengths: tells us, as researchers, what children actually do not simply what they say or what parents may report. Weaknesses: the presences of an observer might change the behaviors under investigation. This change in behavior can be both a positive or a negative effect

What is a strength and a weakness in observations?

A rating scale shows how often or consistently the child shows a particular behavior

.What is the difference between a checklist and a rating scale?

Get parent consent.

experimental study: research in which a researcher manipulates one aspect of the environment (a treatment), controls other aspects of the environment, and assesses the treatment’s effects on participants behavior. control group: a group of participants in a research study who do not receive the treatment under investigation; often used in an experimental study.

What is an experimental study and what is a control group?

Child development, how children respond in different settings, non verbal behaviors, separate observations from inferences

What are some different ways to observe children?

DAILY DOUBLE!!!!!! If you were able to research something in your classroom what would it be?
