A small child stands by a curb adjacent to a sandy area, looking to the side. Text above reads "EVENT & TIME SAMPLING - Observation Technique" with a logo.

This film will support you in understanding what the difference is between an event and a time sample observation. It will also show you how to use them most effectively in your practice and how to evaluate your observations, in a clear and easy to understand way.

Learning how to do Event or Time Sample observations is as easy as child’s play with this unique film. Throughout the film you will see practical examples of both techniques being used and you will have the opportunity to join in and practice your own observations.

The uninterrupted sequences focusing on individual children provides you with the perfect format for observing child behaviour at an increased level of detail, being able to repeat as often as needed.

This video is now available in The Early Years Clip Library.
