Observation
• When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation
• Behaviors- Observation is the best method for assessing many types of behaviors
![Page 3: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Activity
• Look at the next clip, how would you observe it, what would you look for ?

Observation
• There are two basic approaches observation– Quantitative– Qualitative
![Page 6: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Observation
• There are two basic approaches observation– Qualitative-• Describes both the behavior and the context- the
observation usually takes the form of a narrative- Most common form is anecdotal records- good anecdotal records contain a complete description of the behavior and context
– Quantitative- • Requires preplanning and contains five steps
![Page 7: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Observation
• There are two basic approaches observation– Quantitative- • Requires preplanning and contains five steps
– The behavior is precisely defined and objectified– the characteristics of the behavior are specified– Procedures for recording the behavior are developed– The times and place for observing the behavior are selected– Procedures are developed to build interobserver agreement
![Page 8: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Observation
• Quantitative can occur live or by watching a video
• Sometimes a audio- video record of it. Sometimes this helps reveal details
• Sometime sit is hidden, other times it not
![Page 9: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Observation
• Obtrusive versus Unobtrusive– Unobtrusive observations are Preferred– 1.• People are reluctant to engage I certain types of
behaviors if another person is looking• Thus when illegal, antisocial or offensive behaviors are
being targeted, then unobtrusive observations are best
![Page 10: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Observation
• Obtrusive versus Unobtrusive– Unobtrusive observations are Preferred– 2• The presences of an observer alters a situation,
observation can change the behavior• Sometimes make it better or worse
– When a principal comes in a room, the teacher can stop being sarcastic and teach better or the teacher can get nervous and teach worse
![Page 11: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Observation
• Obtrusive versus Unobtrusive– obtrusive observations are fine for behaviors that
are not antisocial, illegal or offensive– People are use to being observed and get use to it
![Page 12: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Observation
• Contrived versus Naturalistic– Contrived is when a setting is staged to induce a
behavior for observation• You want to see if a child is more aggressive playing
with guns or cars, set up a play room accordingly
– Naturalistic nothing is contrived and you observe how people react in a natural setting• Just observe kids at a recess
![Page 13: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Defining Behaviors
• Behavior is usually defined in terms of its topography, its function, and its– Topography refers to the way behavior is
preformed• When tom walked down the hall he held is head low at
a forty-five degree angle, his feet were spread in a wide gate with his toes pointed in.
![Page 14: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Defining Behaviors
• Function- this is why the person performs the behavior – the function cannot be observed, it can only be inferred
• Where the FBA comes from• Some functions could include- – work avoidance,– attention seeking, – access to preferred activities,– escape or avoidance of others,– internal stimulation
![Page 15: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Measureable Characteristics
• Measurement is based on four characteristics– Duration– Latency– Frequency– amplitude
![Page 16: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Measureable Characteristics
– Duration• Behaviors that have a direct beginning and end may be
assed in terms of duration- • It is the length of time a behavior lasts• Can be reported as a average• Can be reported as a ratio of total time doing behavior
vs total time of observation– 4, 8,6, 2= 20 total observation is 40 minutes– Average =5– Prevalence of behavior is .5
![Page 17: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Measureable Characteristics
– Latency• Refers to the length of time between a signal to
perform and the beginning of the behavior• The behavior must have a discrete beginning
– The teacher asks Timmy to take out his book to start an assignment. It takes him four minutes
![Page 18: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Measureable Characteristics
– Frequency• The number of time a behavior occurs• When behaviors are accounted during variable periods,
frequency are usually reported as rates. You can then compare rates over time• 12 times per hour
• Should not be used when it is impossible to count the number of occurrences• When it happens over a prolonged period of time
![Page 19: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Measureable Characteristics
– Amplitude-• Refers to the intensity of a behavior-• In most classroom situations the amplitude needs too
be estimated on a scale of 1-10• Could be estimated on a scale ( like a likert scale• Hit but did not harm, hit caused a bruise, hit and drew
blood
![Page 20: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Measureable Characteristics
– Selecting the characteristics– Pick the characteristics that make the most sense,
have the most impact on a situation– If a child is out of his seat, not getting work done,
measure that
![Page 21: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sampling
• It is impossible to get data on every behavior, • Just like test data, you base your
observational data on sampling• Chose a time, context and behavior that is
appropriate
![Page 22: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sampling
• Context– Measure the behavior in different contexts, it may
differ and provide information as to the function• How is the behavior in the resource room compared to the
regular classroom, recess compared to gym• Consistent and inconsistent data can provide useful
information about – the Setting event (the environmental event that set the the
occasion for the performance of the behavior)– Discriminative stimuli- that is stimuli that are consistently present
when a behavior is reinforced and that comes to bring out the behavior even in the absence sofa the original reinforce
![Page 23: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sampling
• Times- It is impossible to observe someone 24-7 so you need to select sampling times
• Observation sessions are blocks of time set aside in which observations will be made– Sometimes sessions are continuous like a whole
day, more often it is block of time set aside
![Page 24: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Time
• You need to consider how much time you have and how much time you need to observe a behavior.
• The time you spend observing a behavior is called an observation session
• Observation can be – Continuous – a long period like a whole school day– Small blocks of time called Intervals
![Page 25: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Time
• In relation to the data collected, what do you think are the advantages of each type of observation– Continuous – a long period like a whole school day– Small blocks of time called Intervals
![Page 26: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Time
– Continuous- rating scale• Frequency- a parent might be asked how often they
see the behavior• Duration-a parent might be asked how long the
episodes last• Latency- a parent might be asked how quickly a child
responds to a request• Amplitude- a parent might be asked to rate how
serious the outburst are.
![Page 27: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Time
– Continuous• Is expensive• Difficult to focus on observing for a long period of time• An advantage, if a child know you are looking him, will
only be able to hide a behavior for a short time. It is bound to surface during a long observation.
– Small blocks of time called Intervals• Much easier to do,• can see if the behavior surfaces in different times and
contexts
![Page 28: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Time
– Time sampling- are blocks of time that observation is done, interval sampling• A time period is divided into equal intervals of the
same length• Three types of intervals scoring
– Whole interval sampling-» When a behavior is counted if it appears at any point
during the whole interval, from the time it starts to it ends. Even if it started before the interval
– Partial interval sampling– Momentary Time sampling
![Page 29: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Time
– Time sampling- are blocks of time that observation is done, interval sampling• A time period is divided into equal intervals of the
same length• Three types of intervals scoring
– Partial interval sampling» Only counts if the behavior start after the interval starts
– Momentary Time sampling» Only counts if the behavior occurs when the time interval
is ending

Stopped 2-25
![Page 31: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Behavior
Teachers can measure a single behavior or a constellation of behaviorsEx- single screaming at others
Constellation- antisocial behavior such as being mean- including screaming, hitting, kicking teasing others
![Page 32: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Behavior
Observation of behaviors can look at several types of behaviorsdesirable behaviors- reading well aloud
Undesirable- many times disabling there are several types
-harmful behaviors-Stereotypic or sterotypies-infrequent or absent desirable behaviors-Normal behaviors exhibited in inappropriate places
![Page 33: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Behavior
Harmful behaviors- self injurious behaviors such as punching oneself, head banging, self biting, eye gouging , cutting
![Page 34: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Behaviors
• Sterotypies– These behaviors are usually repetitive behaviors
that are inappropriate. Often the provide some type of stimulation for the person
– Examples include, vocalizations, flapping hands or arms.
![Page 36: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
![Page 37: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Behaviors
• Infrequent or desirable behaviors– Nat speaking up– Not walking– the use or more frequent use of these behaviors
will allow for a more normal ,appropriate life
![Page 38: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Behaviors
• Normal behaviors exhibited in inappropriate contexts– These are all types of private behaviors that are
displayed in public– The use of the behavior does not allow the person
to participate normally
![Page 39: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Preparation for Observation
• Define the target behavior– Clear definition– Clear criteria
• Select Context– Pick three different context– Reading class, math class and lunch
![Page 40: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Preparation for Observation
• Select observation schedule– Decide between continuous and interval– Decide length of intervals
• Develop recording Procedures– Time sampling?– What type of form– How will you code each behavior
• Select the Means of observation
![Page 41: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Preparation for Observation
• Select the Means of observation• Will it be in person, • Will it be electronic• Will it be through rating forms
![Page 42: Session Two Part Three. Observation When the assessment does not have a permanent product then observation is the only alternative for evaluation Behaviors-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe81a28abf838cb65fc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Other
• Gather all materials• Test materials , check recorder• Decide where you will observe from
