Professional Experience II

Assessment: Pedagogical Documentation

Description: In alignment with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) (Australian Government Department of Education [AGDE], 2022), you are required to complete some steps of the planning cycle. This involves, observing children's learning, analysing the observation data, and using this analysis to develop one lesson plan. Get AI-free online assignment help by the best tutors.

Step 1: Choose ONLY one (1) video from provided list and watch the video

Step 2: Use the provided template to write an anecdotal observation.
What can be learnt about a child from observations:
- Their interests and passions
- Their personality
- How they cope with challenging situations
- Expressions of their culture
- Their emerging competencies (social, emotional, language cognitive and physical)

What is an anecdotal observation?
- A factual narrative describing what a childsays and does in a specific moment.

How to write an anecdotal observation?
1. Write in Past Tense

2. Stick to facts only

3. Be objective (No judgement words)

4. Capture children's exact words

An example:
C sat at the drawing table with three other children. She selected a blue marker and drew several circular shapes on the paper. She looked at the educator and said, "This is my family." C then added two smaller circles and pointed to them, said,"These are the babies." She smiled and continued drawing for approximately five minutes before placing the marker back in the container.

Step 3: Analysis observations.
Evidence - Interpretation - Theory

Tips:
1. Identify what skills, dispositions, or understandings are emerging
2. Link with evidence: which exact actions or words show this
3. Link with theories: which theory explain this learning
4. Link with EYLF outcomes: which outcome(s) are relevant and why
5. Extension based on the analysis

Step 4: Planning
1. Name this learning experience you have designed
2. Set Learning goals
Tips:
- Use non-judgemental and strengths-based language
- Ensure goals are developmentally appropriate

Formula:
For children to develop (learning goals) by (how the experience enables it).

Example:
For children to develop problem-solving skills through open-ended building construction.
3. List the materials to be used during this learning experience
4. Explain theteacher's role (e.g. facilitator, role model ....)
Examples:
The teacher will scaffold learning by offering prompts and suggestions when appropriate, allowing children to lead their own learning.

Step 4: Implementation
Provide a clear, step by step implementation plan
Guidelines:
- Explain how children will be gathered and how a smooth transition will be ensured
- Describe how the experience will be introduced to the children
- For each step, include detailed teaching strategies that clearly outline the educator's role and actions

Step 5: Ensure that a complete reference list is included, along with appropriate in-text citations.
