Description
Summary:'Would training in how to observe young children improve the child care student's ability to make objective observations? Would training improve their ability to identify the areas of development as exemplified in their observations? Could a practical and usable slide set be developed for the teaching of observational techniques to the high school child care student? How could the improvement in observational techniques of the child care services student be evaluated? These questions were the bases for planning this study. Therefore, it was the purpose of this study to develop and test a teacher-made slide set, depicting children's behavior, to be used in training high school child care services students to objectively observe and record children's behavior, and to classify the children's behavior as to the area of development exemplified"--Introduction. === Typescript. === "March, 1976." === "Submitted to the Department of Home Economics Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." === Advisor: Mary Lee Hurt, Professor Directing Paper. === Includes bibliographical references (leaf 44).
