How to effectively observe and record the game?

1, the observation purpose should be clearly defined and the appropriate observation method should be selected.

2. Observation should be carried out under the condition of ensuring that children have the opportunity to show all their game abilities, which not only ensures that children have rich materials that can trigger their various game behaviors, but also ensures that children have sufficient game time.

3. If possible, make sure to observe children's indoor and outdoor games. Research shows that some children show higher social and cognitive level when playing outdoors than when playing indoors.

4, children should be familiar with each other, familiar with the environment before starting to observe children. When playing with familiar companions, children will show high social and cognitive level. If you observe at the beginning of school, you may underestimate your child's real game ability.

5, should continue to observe, to ensure that the record is typical of children's game behavior.

Observation method

1, Behavior Checklist

The behavior checklist is mainly used to check whether important behaviors of children appear in the game. The observer lists the items to be observed, and draws "√" on the item when the behavior of the item appears. The game observation and comparison system using behavior checklist can record information faster.

2. Grading standard

There are similarities between the rating scale and the behavior checklist, both of which focus on specific game behaviors and are convenient for recording information. However, the rating scale does not simply show children's behaviors, and observers can also decide the level of children's game behaviors themselves and evaluate the quality of these game behaviors.

3. Anecdotal records

Anecdotal record refers to a brief record of children's games or accidental events in games. These records can reflect the development of children's game skills and social, cognitive, emotional and physical development.
