About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Notes on School Observation, the Physical Nature of the Child

The interrogative form of suggestion has been used in connection with each topic in order to arouse definite, specific questions in the mind of the observer. In nearly all cases a few answers to these questions have been given.

It is not expected any student or teacher will be able to answer all the questions or to include all the observations after one or two visits. Some of the questions require consecutive observations from day to day, and a few refer to exceptional conditions. All are prae tical and each has been based on active schoolroom conditions.

Careful notes should be recorded in a permanent note book in such a manner that they will be self-explanatory and accessible for future reference. The following order is suggested: (a) the name of the observer; (b) the name of the school; (c) the grade; (d) the subject; (e) the size of the class; (f) the time of day; (g) the date; (h) a brief statement of the purpose of the observations and a careful written summary of the results.
