Hello everyone!
   1. Objective observations and documentation play an important role in working with children. Maintaining objective documentation allows you to track each child’s progress, identify his needs, and develop an individualized approach to learning. Clear goals and expectations need to be set for each child according to their age, abilities, and developmental level. These goals should be measurable and achievable. Observation methods such as play observation, testing, portfolios, etc. It can be used to help ensure consistency and objectivity in assessing a child’s progress. Specific data and facts should be documented, including observations of behavior, academic achievement, social skill development, etc. This will help avoid subjective assessments and distortions. If observations are made regularly and consistently, it is possible to have a complete picture of a child’s progress over time. This will identify trends and changes in its development. The principles of confidentiality and ethics must be observed when collecting, storing, and using data about children. Proper documentation and observations will help create individualized learning plans and support the child’s development.
  2. Complete assurance that reviews of work with children are free from bias may be elusive. But you need to regularly examine your thoughts, feelings, and prejudices. The more we know about children and the diversity of their needs, the less likely it is that our observations will be subject to bias. Discuss your observations and impressions with colleagues. Create a safe and supportive classroom environment where all children feel accepted and respected. Always follow professional standards and ethical principles. The teacher must be more objective and effective in his work with children.
Thanks.

Hello class,
To remain objective in my observations, I try to separate my personal opinions and feelings from the situation and focus on the facts. I also make sure to consider different perspectives and gather as much evidence as possible before coming to a conclusion. Additionally, I constantly remind myself to be open-minded and willing to change my viewpoint if new information is presented. To ensure that our observations are free from bias, early childhood educators must use a variety of assessment tools and data collection methods. This includes using both quantitative and qualitative data, as well as seeking input from multiple sources such as parents, colleagues, and the children themselves. It is also important to constantly reflect on our own biases and to actively work towards minimizing their impact on our observations and assessments. Additionally, regularly seeking feedback and engaging in ongoing professional development can help educators recognize and address any potential biases in their observations and practices.
Thank You
