The Innocent Eye Test was an oil painting done by Mark Tansey in 1981 and is currently being exhibited at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. In this painting, there is a cow standing and observing a picture of the other cows. While around a cow is a group of good looking men, they are all dressed in suits and wearing glasses. They are watching and recording the “real” cow’s reaction to revealing the “non-real” cows in painting. Why is it that the artist lets a cow observe the painting instead of humans?…

Daycare When running a daycare for children two-years-old and under, many considerations must be made in order to provide the appropriate experiences to help promote their biological, cognitive and psychosocial development. One of my primary goals would be to maintain a group of staff members that I have ensured are reliable, extremely trustworthy and planned on working for me for at least a year or two. I would want to help maintain a constant environment for the zero to two-year-olds. Children who are two-years-old need very different care then one-year-olds or kids who are even younger. As they got closer to two and above, I would make sure they were being read to daily and being exposed to memory exercises, for example, identifying animals and basic shapes, while still being provide with an adequate amount of…
Assessments can be arranged by the SENCO or independently. The aim of the assessments is to find out why the child is not progressing and what support is needed in order for them to progress. Specific learning difficulties are often identified in this way such as Dyslexia, AHAD, Dyspraxia. Support and targets for the child are then set to help them achieve. The outcome of the assessments may involve the child referred to other professionals e.g. occupational therapist, optometrist, speech and language therapist, psychiatrist.…

This will promote development in multiple domains, while supporting their growing spatial awareness and attachments.…

Babies can only See in Black and White The visual system is the most complex sensory system in the human body (Swartout-Corbeil, n.d.), which contains receptor cells that are sensitive to the physical energy of light. However, it is very immature system at birth. A neonate is unable to see patterns because of the immature optic muscles.…
The purpose of this paper is to use the habituation technique in young infants to evaluate one hypothesis derived from Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. I will compare 5-months olds in a task that involves possible and impossible outcomes. Piaget’s theory specifies the cognitive competencies of children of this age. 1a. In the sensorimotor stage, children from birth to age 2 familiarize themselves with the world through means of sensory interaction, such as hearing, looking, grasping and mouthing.…
Observation: Rise Program Physical Setting Rise is a beautiful facility. All of the windows looking into the classrooms and looking outside are my favorite because they provide light, openness, and a sense of connection throughout the whole building. The commons is also a great area. It is large and open for all of the kids to spread out and explore their surroundings, while engaging in gross motor activities, such as going down a slide, riding a tricycle, or jumping on a trampoline.…
needs are met - This will involve the LEA deciding whether or not the pupil will need a Education, health and Care (EHC) plan made up, this will help to see if they will need any other resources put in place for them in the school to help them learn. For example, if the child was classed as dyslexic they could arrange for using a speech output or spell checker, or changing font size, especially for that pupil to learn from. This document is mainly for parents/ guardians of the pupil to ensure that they understand the extra help in which their child will be receiving because of the new learning difficulty. Special educational provision should take into account the wishes of the child concerned, in the light of their age and understanding - This…
For this child screening assignment, I worked with a forty-one month and three-day old girl named E.P. I used the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) to conduct the assessment. E.P. was born on January 06, 2013 at full term without any complications and birth related problems. E.P. is the first child of her parents and they are expecting a new baby brother in October. She lives in an apartment with her father (J.P.), mother (T.P), and her paternal grandmother.…
Should a child’s future really be dependent on a test…
During my semester I was given a focus child. Throughout this whole semester I observe and documented my focus child learning development and assess to see if she is developing correctly. She is two and half years old and she lives at home with her mother and father. As I observe my focus child I noticed her temperaments. She is very active and after sometime of seeing you she warms up to you, but at first she could be standoffish.…
Introduction Over the past 30 years, the position of children in society has changed with increasing recognition of children’s rights and the need to involve them in decisions about their education, social and health care. As more weight has been given to the rights and views of the child, there has been a shift from research on children to research with children and the adoption of the concept of child-centered research, which has been summarized as: a) regarding children as competent and reflexive in reporting their own experiences; b) giving children a voice and taking seriously what they say; and c) rather than researching on children, working for and with them1. The majority of research conducted on children is composed of quantitative…
