05+-+OBSERVATIONS+AND+OUTCOMES

This is my observation sheet which has been design from the example one of the document called "Observation record sheet examples" I adapted the items to my situation in the foundation stage.

With this observation grid I try to take into my account all the progress of my students. So I register their knowledge at the begining, during learning process and at the end of every unit.

CARMEN ALARIO - Observing is quite a difficult activity, mainly if we want to get information out of it. We can obtain information about: Our students achievements which evidence learning, the value of certain resources for a given task, in a Unit, an activity that seemed great when we implemented it with a course, etc. But, though we seem to keep it in mind , it is very often forgotten because a new event attracts our attention, and .. lost it!, we only remember some moments, but it is impossible to conclude anything out of it. We might therefore agree that register our impressions and observations is essential, but it is as important "what" we register as the way we do it. - Keeping a diary, or filling a grid is not the same. These different techniques will focus our work on module 6. The final aim is helping each other to develop an Assessment Culture in our schools.
