Method
Participants
The researcher observed a class of twelve four to five year olds at a preschool in New York. The majority of the children were white and male presenting. However, the gender ratios in each trial varied, since not all children were in attendance every day. Furthermore, not every child in class was observed in each trial, which also caused variability in how many children were observed in a given trial. For instance, in the first trial, the researcher studied three girls and three boys of eleven children. In the second trial, the researcher observed four girls and four boys of ten children. In the third trial, the researcher studied four girls and four boys of nine.
Setting
The researcher visited a New York preschool daycare for a total of approximately four hours between 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM, although only three hours were used to record data. Within this hour, the children rotated between an open choice activity, clean up, group time, and going outside. The preschool itself is a laboratory school; consequently, the children

She then returned three times for a total of three hours to conduct her observations. Before observing the class, the researcher used an online generator to create two randomized sequences of numbers; the sequences would be assigned to correspond with binary presented gender: boys and girls. More specifically, upon joining the class of children, the researcher took note of how many male-presenting children and female-presenting children attended class at that time. The researcher then assigned each child a number. Then, alternating between observing male presenting children and female presenting children, the researcher used the randomized sequence to determine what child would be observed. At times, transitions in the classroom or the child’s being picked up from school interrupted this allotted observation
1. Develop 95% confidence intervals for the proportion of all students, the proportion of male students, and the proportion of female students who were involved in some type of cheating.
I conducted a survey, asking 20 females and 20 males their favorite food group for my AP Statistics project. I surveyed on Wednesday, September 27 and on Thursday, September 28 at Marshall High School. They chose from protein, grain, vegetables, fruit, and dairy. From the data, I found that 10 males and 2 females liked protein best, 3 males and 2 females liked grains best, 1 male and 1 female liked vegetables best, 3 males and 13 females liked fruit best, and 3 males and 2 females liked dairy best. Half of the males liked protein best, while most females liked fruits best. The least amount of both males and females liked vegetables. From this data, we can see that males like protein more than females do, and females like fruit more than males
Gender – whether there was a difference in performance between genders; used for comparison between male and female participants
There were a few differences on this base research experiment. To begin with, there were various group sizes in various instances. For instance, there were either groups of two, three, and six people. There was only one actual participant per group, while the rest were part of the experiment. This was the independent variable. It was intended to test if the number of individuals would diffuse the duty given in a crisis circumstance. In addition to that, various types of individuals took part in this study. Different genders and authority figure was presented. This person was a premedical student working at the emergency ward at Bellevue Hospital. Initially, it was meant to find any distinction in different genders responding. Also, it was intended to figure out if the presence of an authority figure would affect the participant’s response if they were to assume that the medical student would take charge in a crisis situation.
Social: (Description) From 9:45 am to 10:15 am, Anna was inside with her individual group of six girls and two boys and their teacher for story time, sharing, weather report, and selection of books. Anna listened to the teacher read, "Duck in the truck". The teacher keeps Anna's attention by pointing out different things on the pages. Then the teacher holds up cards with something wrong in each picture. Anna and a friend on either side of her are enjoying figuring out what is wrong with each picture. Anna is friendly and is not aggressive. She relates well to the teacher and answers questions. Earlier, when Anna was outside in the sandbox, she gave scoops to two other girls to play with while she played with the
During the observation of Morning Meeting, I noticed that my mentor teacher separated the children by gender when the calendar helper counted the number of boys and the girls in the classroom. My mentor teacher asked the calendar helper to have either the boys or girls stand up first to be counted. When the children are getting ready to go outside or to the bathroom, the teacher has also the boys and girls in separate lines. I felt that there were other characteristics for the teacher to separate the children. For example, she could she could have asked the children stand up or line up based on their eye color, hair color, the color of their clothing, their favorite animal, or even the first letter of their name. If my teacher broadened the
At the end of the lesson Students are going to be able to describe where they live using the verb "vivir" and "tener" in Spanish. During unit two, they been using the these verbs and in the beginning of the lesson they answer the "Do NOw" activity where I asked then: ?Donde tu vives? They answer the question in Spanish and used the verb in the correct tense. After that, they answer a listening question where they had to identify the part of the house using the vocabulary proposed at the beginning of the lesson. Finally, they started a project where they had to create a Floor plan and describe their ideal house. For this activity, they have to use the verb "tener" in present tense. The completion of these activities ensures the acquisition of the new vocabulary and the verbs tense. It is important to mention, that this lesson will continue next week because students need more time to complete their DOL activity.
The males who were supposed to be in the program received long term suspension for misbehaving. The new hypothesis that I created was actually not correct. The girls who completed the whole program, and were the most successful came out to an even number. Two girls were African American and the other two were Hispanic/ Latina. Before the program started, there were four African Americans students and four Hispanic/ Latina students, Making the study even. The one student who did not complete the program was African American, making the Success rate favor the Hispanic/ Latina race.
Prior to my observation, I was eager to have an opportunity to observe a class for an entire school day. While I certainly have a background working in school settings, I have never been able to focus on understanding and evaluating the different aspects of the school day. For my observation, I was placed in an inclusive fourth grade class. Two co-teachers ran the class of eighteen students.
Conducting classroom observations are very important to the prospective teacher. Observing helps show how experienced teachers manage their classroom. For this observation it was important to notice how the classroom was arranged, how the teacher interacted with the students, the teacher’s management style, and interview the teacher.
The data on Table 1 shows that the men in the meeting had more turns but there was an exception (woman D) and the men in the meeting generally spoke for longer per turn but again there was an exception (woman B). Additionally men also interrupted more (except for man E), and men were interrupted more except Man E and Man I, therefore there is no significant pattern in terms of which gender was interrupted more.
Observing children in the classroom is important for a number of different reasons. First, observations allow teachers to learn about a child’s development and growths. They provide inside information as to the child’s thoughts of their selves and what they think of others. Observations also allows teachers to determine a child’s weaknesses and strengths. In addition, they point out behavior patterns (Beaty, 2014, p. 2). By observing children, teachers can provide them the appropriate learning materials to help them develop in areas in which they need more work on (weaknesses). They can also use the child’s strengths to build new skills (scaffolding). I personally believe that none of this could be done effectively without observing
There were a few patterns that appeared in my experiment such as more males were rolling through stop signs than females. Some aspects that could be affecting my results would be the age of my subjects. In the experiment, I divided the genders into drivers with gray hair and drivers without gray hair. The reason I divided them like that was so that those with gray hair would be the representation for older people driving and the people without white hair would be a representation for the younger people. 43.3% of the people I watched came to a complete stop at the stop sign compared to the 56.6% of people who rolled through the stop sign, this was both combined sexes, as well as, gray hair and no gray hair drivers. The combined sexes with
Classroom observation is a main approach of teaching research. Scholars or researchers use video to record the real whole class and observe the teachers and students’ actions, words and the efficiency in the class. Though the observation, they analyze what approach is more suitable. This paper will select video 5 and video 3 as the material to do the classroom observation. Different aspects such as teachers’ responds, questions, instructions notes and students’ behavior will be addressed to analyze the efficacy of this class.
The following data was gathered while fulfilling duties as a principal intern at Theresa Bunker Elementary School. The data was observed during five to seven minutes of classroom observation as part of a walk-through in the spring of the current school year. My cooperating supervisor for my internship was able to go on these walk-throughs with me in order to have a productive reflection meeting afterwards. This elementary school has two of each grade level from Kindergarten to sixth grade. Since it was more feasible in this small school setting, I actually was able to do a walkthrough in eight classes. Here I will report my observations from five of those walk-throughs. As I went in to each room I was looking for four
