Observation and Evaluation of Children's Behaviour

This handbook is for students of introductory courses involving observation and evaluation of children's behaviour, but also for professionals involved in clinical activities, educators, and teachers who observe - on an everyday basis - children entrusted to them in kindergartens, nursery schools, and grade schools. The text does not expect the reader to be knowledgeable about developmental psychology and psycho-social research methodology. The first part describes different types of observation (ethological, participant, controlled) and shows how they are used in training, educational, and clinical contexts. The second part addresses childhood behaviour evaluation tools in the principal fields of development: cognitive, communicational and linguistic, social and interpersonal).
