Collection Of Work

Collection of Work:
Where are the guidelines that the FETAC module descriptor talks about i.e., ‘The internal assessor will devise guidelines for candidates on gathering a collection of work that demonstrates evidence of a range of specific learning outcomes.
The content of work requires 5 different observations on 5 different children at 5 different stages of development. The observations for assignment No. 1 (Collection of work) should be in the following order:
Observation No. 1 0-1 year Checklist Physical Development
Observation No. 2 1-2 years Narrative Language Development
Observation No. 3 2-3 years Trail/Diagrammatical Cognitive Development
Observation No. 4 4-5 years Time Sampling Social Development
Observation No. 5 5-7 years Event Sampling Emotional Development
Over what time frame should the observations take place……is it 30 minutes per child and per development area or is it expected to be more like a days observation/a week/a month??? A rough guideline of this expectation would be appreciated.
The timetabling of observations is dependant on the type of observation. e.g. checklist over 10-15 minutes, time sampling/event sampling over a period of days.
