Q: A collection of observational records and work samples for one child that reflect
developmental growth, usually kept for one year., 🗹🗹: Portfolio
Q: A child who has difficulty learning and functioning and has been identified as a
special needs student is the perfect candidate for this., 🗹🗹: IEP - individualized
education plan
Q: These records are the most abundant observation kept by a teacher and are often
referred to as the backbone of portfolios, 🗹🗹: Anecdotal Records
Q: The Sandwich Approach, 🗹🗹: 1. Positive feedbcak on student
2. Constructive criticism/feedback
3. More positive feedback on student
Q: _____ A year is standard for conferences, but more frequent meetings might be
required for a special problem, 🗹🗹: twice
Q: Used to determine how often a specified event occurs, 🗹🗹: Tally Event Sampling
Q: This kind of data is collected with Tally Event Sampling, 🗹🗹: Quantitative
Q: When observers choose to design their own tally event sampling instrument, they
choose two sets of categories (horizontal and vertical) that intersect to form a ____ in
which the tallies are collected, 🗹🗹: Grid

Q: Tally Event Sampling can be used to measure the frequency of events involving
who/what?, 🗹🗹: one person, a group, or an event
Q: Selected from and generalized to represent a whole, 🗹🗹: Observational period or
a sampling
Q: _____________ is used when observing behaviors or interactions that occur too
frequently for efficient tally event sampling, 🗹🗹: Time Sampling
Q: TRUE OR FALSE:
Time sampling lends itself to a quantitative analysis of data and is therefore best suited
to topics in which the observer wants to compare frequencies, 🗹🗹: True
Q: Time samples are predetermined units of time that guide the observer's attention
throughout the ___________., 🗹🗹: Observation
Q: Observer records while observing for a set amount of time, 🗹🗹: Concurrent Time-
Sampling Technique
Q: Observer observes for a set amount of time, then switches to coding for a set amount
of time, then switches back to observing, and so on, 🗹🗹: Delayed Time-Sampling
Technique
Q: The first step in designing your own observational instrument, 🗹🗹: Select an
appropriate topic, and formulate an observational question
Q: Categories:, 🗹🗹: Must be clear and unambiguous. Must be mutually exclusive
(categories must not overlap). Create codes for categories if needed
Q: Pilot Testing, 🗹🗹: Assess the workability of the instrument and make
adjustments and refinements as needed before beginning to collect data
