I selected to observe video #28 entitled Using UNO Cards to Engage
in Fitness Activities for the Elementary School observation. The
observation video begins with a group of 16 first-graders aged 6 and 7
years old as they performed various cognitive and physical activities. For
the duration of the video the teacher is utilizing the teacher-directed
instruction method, the teacher provides the students with directions on
how to perform the mental and physical activities. Overall the school
appears to have a good socioeconomic status, the video displayed a decent
size gym, along with new gym equipment and a variety of gym exercises.
While all the students seem to display strong cognitive development skills,
they still require both verbal instructions and physical examples. During
this stage the students would be in Piaget's
Preoperational stages of development. Furthermore, the classroom
consisted of 8 boys and 8 girls therefore their growth-physical development
would be different from one another. All the students displayed a personal
interest in performing the activities and seemed to enjoy doing the task at

hand. Additionally, the students seemed to display strong vocabulary
skills, along with a strong ability to collaborate with other students.
The second learning method the teacher utilizes in this
demonstration is the inquiry based learning theory. She does this by posing
a series of questions to inquire and observe the students’ ability to
understand the concept of the assignment. Consequently, the students are
demonstrating Piaget’s concrete operational stage of cognitive
development. In this assignment the students engage in logical thinking as
the teacher gives them concrete instructions and examples on how to
perform the task. Take as an example, when the teacher asks the students
to verify the different card colors, she provides them with concrete
examples by demonstrating the different gym areas the students should go
to when they select the corresponding color. Through this action the
teacher would be able to assess the students’ motor skills and cognitive
development by identifying the prior knowledge the student retained in
preparation for the activity. For instance, when the students raise their
