My partner’s revised goal for the individual health promotion plan project was to eat at least two Paleo-based meals everyday for a month. One of the interventions used to approach this goal was stimulus control. When following such a rigid diet, there will be a lot of environmental triggers present. The first environmental trigger that was observed was her living situation. Having roommates that are not following a Paleo-based diet meant that there was a substantial amount of food that…
observe Mrs. Stevens classroom at NorthStar Educational and Therapeutic Services. In her classroom she has a total of six students ranging in grade level k-5. Each of her students have an Individualized Education Programs. On the first day of my observation, I observed Mrs. Steven and her paraprofessional interact with the students during breakfast, warm-up, and during I-Ready English Language Arts and/or Math. During breakfast, the class sat together, as the staff interacted with each student…
The impact on of being observed The impact of the observation on the Amy might have contributed to what is known as the Hawthorn effect (cited in Maclean and Baker 2013) and Amy may have changed her behaviour knowing she was been observed. My reflections ‘in action’ were feelings of confusion, the process of allowing two professional strangers inside your property making judgements while Amy waited outside for me. Reflecting with criticality did she modify her behaviour so I could observe her…

1.1 My family lived near Langley Park, so we went there often to shop. I consider my trips to Langley Park a big part of my childhood because the majority of my toys came from the now closed Toys-R-Us that was once there. I also remember shopping for traditional Indian clothes and food at the Indian stores in that area. In recent years, most of the information I have heard about Langley Park has been negative. For example, when I mentioned the trip to Langley Park, one of my coworkers said when…
Compared to other schools I have observed thus far, Mrs. Cole’s classroom was very modest. There are not colorful learning centers or reading areas as I have found in other schools. The classroom book collection was very limited to one small box per child in which each student had the same books. Mrs. Cole visited the library twice a week to find books that related to lessons she was teaching for the week. They were located in one crate. The student’s desks were grouped together in four groups…
Based on observations the mid-day encounter at the mall the deduction method would allow the researcher to hypothesize that stranger would easily speak to one another and make eye contact when near each other. The evening crowd seemed to be more focused on the social…
While conducting my student observations; I have gathered up a few inferences about my subject. Over the span of three weeks I recorded observations made solely on things I examined visually. I did not make personal contact, instead I watched my subject from a far. By examining my subject in this manner I was limited only to what I saw to make inferences. My subject’s appearance, social class, and habits all play a role in her interactions with society, and tell me a little about her as an…

On Wednesday, February 15th, I observed one of the three 4th grade classes at Thomas A. Edison Elementary School in Port Chester, New York.

Class started with their morning routine; Ms. Simmons greeted the children as they walked into the classroom, they hung up their backpacks in the closet…
