This course was created to provide the students with the opportunity and time to work on their research: Developmental profile of a child. The students will be assigned an early childhood education setting – a preschool or a daycare – where they will have a chance to observe a child using a variety of observation methods and techniques, collect scientific data on this child’s development and behavior in a naturalistic setting. (The collected data will be interpreted, used for and result in the developmental profile of that child, assignments # 2 and # 3 for the ECE 112 Human Growth & Development course). The students will have six days to accomplish the 30 hours of observation.
