Question:

Which assessment method can be used to study the behaviour of class I students during play time in school?

Options:

Interview

Case Study

Observation

Self Report

Correct Answer:

Observation

Explanation:

The most appropriate assessment method to study the behavior of class I students during playtime in school is observation. Observation is a direct method of data collection that involves watching and recording behavior in a natural setting. It is particularly useful for studying behaviors that are difficult to measure with other methods, such as children's play.

The other assessment methods are not as well-suited for studying the behavior of class I students during playtime:

  • Interviews are not a good choice because young children are not always able to accurately report their own behavior.

  • Case studies are not a good choice because they are typically used to study individual children in depth, rather than to make generalizations about a group of children.

  • Self-report measures are not a good choice because young children are not always able to understand the questions being asked of them, and they may not be able to give accurate answers.
