Question 1 

This question requires you to generate ONE (1) classroom observation record of your choice (maximum 300 words). This should be a complete record of an event — e.g., a large group discussion initiated by the teacher until a suitable juncture when the teacher asks the children to move to another activity/space; or of a play activity initiated by a child/group of children until the child/children move away from the activity.
You should write up your observation in descriptive and non-interpretive prose (e.g., “child A smiled” instead of “child A looked happy”), complete with as

many teacher-child and/or child-child conversations as possible.
Use this table template to type out your classroom observation, then place this table in an appendix:

Note: All developmental domains must be addressed. In the Beloglovsky & Daly (2015) text, all seven theorists are used to answer the following questions based on your written classroom observation:

a)  Use Erik Erikson’s and Lev Vygotsky’s theories introduced in Beloglovsky & Daly (2015) to interpret the practices you have observed discussion of every developmental domain (Part 2: Social- Emotional Development; Part 3: Beyond ABCs, 123s (Cognitive Development); Part 4: Physical Development).

b)  Discuss how the learning experience you observed could be rated according to the continuum of low-, medium-, and high-impact pedagogical approaches described in Chapter 5 of the NAEYC (2022), according to each of the six pillars of learning.

Support your entire discussion with relevant course readings and literature including news reports, national frameworks, government reports, etc.
