C16

[Guest]

hi im doing the kus for c16 and i am sure that i have answered one somewhere else but i can't find it...

i have a feeling only i will know where it is but i am hoping that some genius who can read my mind and knows exactly what i have written without even reading it can help!! so here goes...

 

'how and why childrens behaviour and performance may vary across assessment situations'

 

it is a matter of principle now - NVQ has finally sent me mad !!!

[narnia]

disturbances in the room can affect the childs reactions:lots of noise can be very distracting and prevent the chiild from 'staying on task', though some children will carry on doing the task and ignore what's going on;

other children may try to 'help' the target child, which may distract or even make them feel inadequate, if they are not as able as the other child;

other children may interrupt, taking the child away from the observed situation;

if the child is tired, uncomfortable or even feeling poorly, this will affet how they react/behave;

does this give you a nudge in the right direction............

Also, the stress element of tasks, where the child knows they are being assessed! I've recently heard about a school who invite their Year 2 children into "Tony's Cafe" , a beautifully set-up role-play area, to play some "special" games (ie SATS!!), and most of the children are completely unaware of the significance!

hi just to let you know i found where i had written it down before!! it was in my class notes from jan 06 - why can i remember what i wrote over a year ago but i can't remember what i did last week???

And on a practical note, if you do all your NVQ written work on the computer rather than by hand, you could do a google search because that will throw up any matches on your own computer as well as on the web.

 

Then your previous brilliance will be revealed to you!
