Assignment
In your written summary you must answer the following 6 questions. Each answer should be clearly labeled with the question that is being addressed. Explicitly refer to the observation data, use course vocabulary and concepts, and respond fully to all aspects of the following questions.
i. Based on your knowledge of child development, how would you describe age appropriate development for that child? Make sure to support your answers with specific examples and evidence. If you include evaluative or subjective terms, make sure that you explain the logic by which you reached that evaluation.
ii. Based on your observation, how would you describe the development of that child? Make sure to use specific evidence from your observation.
iii. Choose one of the DRDP measures that you used is to measure a part of social-emotional development on a continuum. Discuss if you believe that this measure has good construct validity for these concepts. Make sure you explain your answer completely.
iv. Do you believe the DRDP has general reliability? Did you understand the measure?
v. Did you find it easy or challenging to decide which rating to give each activity on each scale? Are you sure that you would pick the same rating if you saw that same behavior/event again?
vi. Do you believe that the DRDP items have test-retest reliability? If you observed this child on another day, would you find the same ratings?
vii. Do you believe that the DRDP items would have inter-rater reliability? Was the scale well defined? How confident are you that other people would interpret the scale in the same way and choose the same rating?
