- 3rd Edition
Systematic observation is essential for educators to evaluate properly the effectiveness of curricula and to address the problems of individual students. This new third edition emphasizes early childhood, and focuses on those skills that will enable the observer to make appropriate, valid inferences and to arrive at decisions based on objective observation data gathered in natural learning environments and diverse educational settings.
Includes new focuses on:
- Procedures for observing environmental factors that affect learning and behavior
- The importance of understanding the cultural and linguistic characteristics of children’s learning environments
- The key role of observation in the assessment process
- The forms of observation, with illustrative examples
- The exploration of reliability, sampling behavior, recording formats, summarizing observational outcomes, and validity
Using photographs, sample worksheets, a simple format, and straight-forward language, the authors cite fascinating real-life examples from early childhood that can be applied to a variety of classroom experiences.

She has written extensively on assessment issues at the early childhood level and cosponsors an annual conference and teaches a graduate course entitled "Observing and Assessing the Preschool Child." Dr. Boehm's research interests include cross-cultural development of relationalconcepts used in different direction formats, the role of comprehension in direction following, and intergenerational literacy.
