• Riverside City Campus Child Development Center—Preschool Observation
Students need to pick one child and observe (without interacting with the
child) for minimum of one hour hopefully at the RCC Child Development
Center. The student will take detailed notes based on what you see and hear
the child doing and saying without adding your own personal comments on how
you (the student) think the child feels, or if the child is normal or
abnormal. After completing the observation, describe in detail what you
observed without adding additional comments or summarizing. Next, you will
identify and apply concepts (fine motor, cooperative play, emotional
regulation etc.) to the observed child’s behavior and connect them to the
appropriate developmental domain (biosocial, cognitive, or psychosocial
domain). [Example of a sentence in an observation paper: De Andre sat at
the manipulative table, picked up the red playdough and began to cut the
play dough with scissors (fine-motor; biosocial domain)]. The concepts
linked to the child’s behaviors should be concepts that are discussed in
the textbook and lecture. Your paper must have a variety of concepts and
all 3 developmental domains discussed to receive full points.
Grades will be based on the following criteria:
Format of paper is consistently double-spaced, 12pt Times New Roman font,
