Linked Course Learning Outcomes: 2, 3
Overall word count for this assignment = 3000 maximum (1500 words for the three observations and 1500 words for the summary)
This assignment takes place in three parts, as follows:
Watch the following video of infants, toddlers and young children at play in an Australian ECE context* using your mouse to navigate your way around the centre. Undertake a series of observations across all age groups (including under two year- olds) using a range of observation techniques (interval recording, duration recording, time sample, running record, narrative). You will be supported to do this in week 2 of the course.
