Documentation, I discovered, is a dynamic record of a child's
growth. Photographs of work in progress, teacher comments, transcripts of
children's discussions, each child's artistic expressions, explanations about
an activity, a web of children's ideas, graphs or drawings showing data
summation for science and math, the process of inquiry and findings, and so on
are examples. In addition, I learned about two formats: documentation panels
and portfolios. The goal of documentation is now to demonstrate how and what
your classroom students are learning. Photographs, samples of children's work
at various stages of completion, student voices written by the instructor or
students, and so on are included. Children can discuss their ideas and go over
what they've learned. Documentation panels highlight children's learning.
Portfolios are now planned and systematic compilations of evidence of a child's
work and learning that has been accumulated over time and illustrates a child's
efforts, progress, or success. A portfolio might take the form of a folder or a
box. It is not an assessment in and of itself; rather, it is a method of
storing and showing information from multiple sorts of evaluations. Teachers
and students both contributed to the process of gathering information for
portfolios. Teachers may wish to explore discussing a kid's portfolio in a
private environment so that parents are not pressured to compare their child to
other students in the class. Cognitive, social/emotional, physical, verbal, and
artistic expression are examples of developmental portfolios.
The
distinction between 'the conventional style of documentation and 'The Reggio
Emilia & project style of documentation is that the former is more of a
summative assessment. It assesses students’ progress through tests, and
students compete against one another. Then, Reggio is more of a formative
assessment that encourages students to collaborate with one another. And it
helps the teacher to see where the students are in their progress.
I believe that what I learned this week will assist me in determining what pupils require to grow. Also, I need to utilize Reggio instead of the traditional documentation style since it allows students to collaborate with one another to assist produce. Furthermore, these documentation questions might assist you in visualizing the student's development and determining where the child requires assistance.
