Observation training

The observation training in Finland starts 21st March 2017. There are 190 teachers participating from 12 cities and municipalities. With the help of observing we get a versatile an up-to-date understanding ofn the dynamic forces creating the everyday practices. The observation is based on systematic random sampling of what is done, what the children do and what children attend to in early education. When these basic observations are merged together with the indicators of children’s well-being, for example, physical activity, involvement, emotions and social orientations,  we are able to connect the ingredients of well-being with the everyday activities. Furthermore, the observations can be connected with the evaluated aspects of the learning environment and leadership, which makes it possible to connect children’s everyday experiences with larger cultural and pedagogical structures.
