Portfolio Task #3 (Pairs): Running Records

Part One:

Name of Student: Diego

Date: May 28, 2010

Time: Morning

Setting: Child-care centre: Les Petites Cellules

Observer: Stephanie Norman

Diego is standing with his teacher and 2 other students. Diego is watching Student A, to

his right, pick up a toy car. Diego moves over closer to Student A, to get the toy car.

Diego then points to Student A, with his right hand, and walks closer and touches the toy

car that Student A is holding, using the same hand. Diego then grabs the toy car out of

Student A’s hand, turns his body towards the other teacher and looks up as Student A is

taken away from the situation. Diego then plays with the toy car along the window sill

where he then moves over towards the couch with the toy car. Diego analyzes the book

that the teacher and Student B are reading together.

Name of the Student: Diego

Date: May 28, 2010

Time: Morning time

Setting: In the classroom within the Child-Care Centre = Les Petites Cellules
Name of the observer: Taylor Pacheco

Diego is crying to his teacher because Student A was playing with a toy car that Diego

was playing with earlier. Diego is trying to reach for the toy car and he keeps moving

closer to Student A that has the toy car in their hand. Diego reaches out his hand and tries

to grab the toy car. Diego got the toy car and turns his body in the opposite direction that

Student A is in. Diego then plays with the toy car on the window sill and moves to where

the couch is. Diego starts to look at the book that his teacher and Student B are looking at

while still having the toy car in his hand.

Part 2:

Difficulties We Encountered while Strategies We Used while Recording our

Recording our Running Records:
● Making sure that the running record
is in present tense
● Ensuring that we weren’t using “he
played, he went” (Fitzgibbon, 2020)
● Recording all behaviours instead of
just specific categories of behaviour
(Fitzgibbon, 2020)
Running Records, to be Successful:
● Watch the video couple times to
understand what Diego was doing
● Write what was observed on a
separate piece of paper
● Making sure that the information is
valid and correct
● Retelling what the student actually
did in sequence (Fitzgibbon, 2020)

How will you apply some of these strategies when conducting Running Records in
class, as an EA? 

When completing the running record in class, I will observe only the student that I am
working with. In addition, I will write the correct timing in chronological order as well as
writing the statements or gestures that were observed. I will also ensure that I am
recording all behaviours instead of targeting one, including unexpected behaviours. This
will allow the observation to be precise, non-bias and to provide all the correct
information.
