Why are social observations important for children in the preschool setting?

Question

doing a huge assignment please help!!

thank you!!

Answer 1

Do you mean socialization?  

Interacting with other children is important for children's development for several reasons, to name just a few:

it teaches them how to interact and function in social circumstances, develop empathy, regulate behavior and emotional control, learn from and teach their peers, and how to work well with others.

Answer 2

So that the teacher can see how the child is interacting with other children and also to gauge (not sure about spelling here) the child's social development.

Also as a side effect of doing an observation on a child's social development you may also notice development in other areas such as motor or language.

Answer 3

Make sure they r playing well together, not fighting, not being mean, DEFINITELY not excluding.

might wanna make sure everyone has a friend.

Answer 4

So you can see the way they interct with other children and if they developing social skills slower than the other children. If they are, you can then do things to help the child develop these skills and get any outside help you may need. While doing social observations you can also see how their communication skills are. You can see if they are building friendships, if they are able to co-operate with other children, if they tend to play with the same child/children everyday, etc.

Hope this helps : )

Answer 5

for the teacher to make social observations? ok mhmhmm I did a report on being a pre school teacher  you have to make sure they can play well with others or dosnt get violent with others because this could be a problem down the road or they might need a shrink or if there are too many problems it could mean they are mentally handicapped so they have to observe the kids

Answer 6

every child is an individual in his own being. he has own sense of understanding , observation and persieving things and the world around them. But they are on the receiving end. they speak less and litsen more. God has tailored nature to the needs of humans. A child starts to litsen even in the womb and his oservation starts from there only. but as they grow up this observation is lowered and they start to speak read and write as well. the atmosphere given to a child is the factor that effects his developing nature and behavoiur. if it is good it will be good if it is bad it will be bad. if you provide the surrounding with lights and hussle bussle the infant will realise that its time to rise and if you provide him darkness and quiteness he will probably fall asleep. surrounding s are very imporatnt either made by humans or  by situations. at this age children are in a phase of development which in future will decide abt what they will do. they are just like water at that time which needs a specific shape which a teachers needs to work on.
