Question.4868 - Module2 Assessment - Observation AssignmentObservation is an important data collection method that is used by educational researchers to understand the culture, practices and interactions within schools. For this assignment, you will be conducting an observation to help you define a problem and question that we will explore throughout our work together this semester. You will also be able to use this data in your final paper to provide insight into your school context. Choose a context to observe based on an area that you think you might be interested in studying. If you are interested in studying teacher collaboration, observe a faculty meeting. If you are interested in looking at student participation, observe a class... Use the following tips to guide your observation and write-up:For this observation¢ € ”you should not be teaching or working. You may observe students and teachers that you work with but you need to be free to take notes and to really soak in what you are seeing and hearing.Write notes that are DESCRIPTIVE, that help to capture what was happening, that paint a clear picture of events to someone not there and that document what was said. Avoid descriptions that are JUDGMENTAL or evaluative, "pretty", "nice", "weak teaching".Don't just look at interesting events or things that you think are relevant to your study. Try to capture as much as you can.Observations are not standalone. They will be triangulated with other forms of data. I've worked in schools where teachers would say things like, "we treat everyone the same¢ €  but when I observed classes I saw that students from different groups were subjected to different rules around school discipline and teachers had different expectations of different groups of students.Don't just look at interesting events or things that you think are relevant to your study. Try to capture as much as you can. With observations you want to have a WIDE ANGLE LENS. While you may be limiting your lens to particular dynamics groupings, want to stay open to not miss relevant activities.Notes: While you are conducting your observation you should take notes on important events and dynamics. Don't just write down everything everyone says, try to summarize and then write down important quotes that stand out to you.Mapping: If it is relevant to your question, you might want to create a map that shows how students are grouped or seated in a particular class or at lunchroom tables. For this assignment, you will write a 3-4 page double spaced summary of your observation. Include a heading that states where the observation is, school, location, grade, time, day. Include a paragraph at the end of your observation that summarizes what you think is significant about this observation. (Here you can provide your thoughts on what the data means, what's important.)
