Question 5control
a. refers to observing and recording behavior in a systematic, patterned way such that the observer knows why he or she is in the observation setting and by what method the behaviors of interest will be recorded
b. involves taking on-the-spot records of behavior as it occurs
c. a formal method of observation and recording in which you continuously record in as much detail as possible what the child does and says, by herself and in interaction with other persons or objects
d. refers to observing young childrens behavior in a patterned, systematic way
