During Science class students were given instruction during the first five minutes of class. These included class announcements and directions of plotting longitude and latitude coordinates. During this transition into the class activity Eric was on his Chromebook toggling between Google Classroom and basketball news/stats. When Mrs. Beal repeated the direction for a 3rd time that students are to be opening Google Classroom to the class, although directed at Eric, he then initiated the task and remained focused for 5 intervals. Within these five minutes of on-task behavior Mrs. Beal checked in with Eric and engaged with him as he started plotting the coordinates. During the following 15 intervals Eric did not demonstrate on-task behavior for the duration of the interval. If Eric was off-task for even one second of the interval he was marked off-task for the entire interval. …show more content…
Eric was seen looking around the classroom and appeared aware of adult proximity to him and their view of his computer. One point in the observation Eric repositioned himself and computer screen to be turned away from the observer. As the class progressed Eric started to quickly flip back and forth between class webpage and basketball pictures. Eric appeared to be aware of the risks of being caught by adults but appeared to want to switch his background photo. During interval 17 the para professional commented to Eric that he could wait to get home and look up basketball information as the day was an early dismissal. This did not result in immediate behavior change. During the times of on-task behavior interval 26/27 Eric was working with Mrs. Beal. Mrs. Beal was clarifying expectation of work that will need to be completed for

She walked full tilt through the room with plates stretching up her left arm and two cups of coffee somehow cradled in her right hand”. He begins with illustrating to the reader, about his first person point of view of the blue collar field. This shows an illustration of both physical and mental work at play, she had to handle multiple tasks at once and create balance. Mike Rose is stating that blue collar work has learning in it like school. This shows how to profit from the job that I currently have and can learn from it.
This event took place while most of the class was sitting quietly waiting for the teacher to give them directions about their next
I used partial interval recording to measure the off task behavior since it occurs so quickly and it is hard to catch it or simply count it. My operational definition was superb. It was clear and I could easily observe it when Oscar displayed the behavior. However, at times, I was confused on whether Oscar was off task or whether he was internalizing/ processing information the teachers were giving him. Overall, I would not change this definition because it helps me measure and easily absorb the off task behavior.
In several instances, Jay would not be able to contain his excitement what Laura is teaching. He would keep his hand stretched high and not be called on at all or to be chosen last out of the people with their hands up. One moment Kathleen notes this is when Laura is explaining the directions to her class. Kathleen writes “Laura’s description lasts 26 minutes, and although Jay raises his hand several times, he is not called on and remains silent while Laura talks. Five other students do raise their hands and are acknowledged.

Ms. Espinoza looked away from the computer screen and her fingers stopped gliding across the keyboard, she looked at Lindy standing near the entrance of her office.

Psychology is defined as “the scientific study of the mind and behavior” (Introduction to Psychology, 2015). Psychology provides an overview of biology and behavior, sensation and perception, learning, memory, intelligence, language, motivation, emotion, abnormal psychology, and therapy (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 1). Because psychology allows for a better understanding of how the mind and body work, this knowledge can be beneficial for any field of study or career. The theoretical and practical understanding of the basics of psychology can help with decision-making, critical thinking, stress management, time management, better understanding of others, improving communication, and even achieving goals and objectives, all components that allow someone to be more successful throughout their life. Throughout this course I hope to gain a greater understanding of historical and theoretical perspectives of human behavior and development (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 2).
