Colourful puzzles

Green man
Book at the back, King of Infinite Space, man on cover page
Teacup and saucer, clock pattern
Round shaped toys, big and small
Brown feather on messenger box

Statue behind the book
Red and white puzzle at the back
Football shaped toy

Not a messenger box, not sure what it is

 For the second observation, I tend to confirm what I already know by giving it a second look. Then I paid more attention to things I missed at the first go.

Week 6 Guest speaker - Dr. Tathali Urueta

I like how she developed from the research questions in her Master’s thesis to the ones in her PhD. I wonder if it would make a difference had she not fostered a relationship with the children during the learning experiences? Coming from a science background without teaching experiences, it is amazing that she could work with a large number of children in interviews. As Katie mentioned in the QnA, what impact would it have on her interaction/experiences with the children? Were there any ethical consideration/restrictions that potentially hindered her interaction with the children? If so, how did she cope with them?

Week 5 Assignment - Observation reflection

With my niece and nephew, although they were constantly moving, I was able to follow them and noticed things in detail, such as clothing, facial expressions, and what they said and did. Having said that, I didn't remind myself as an observer. I interacted with them and the details were there in my head. I was able to notice changes, and make assumptions based on information I already had.  When it came to strangers, I was more aware of my role as an observer. T here was a lot going on at the same time, and I had to make a choice either following a specific person or switching between different people.  Partly because they were only in sight for a short period of time, people with distinctive features stood out, and I wasn’t able to give everyone the same level of attention.
