RJA #13a: Field Research Report

I work at a school and I do the before and after school program. So I decided for my field research that I would go observe a class for a day so that is what I did. I went and observed a fourth/fifth grade class with a teacher I know who teaches there. I brought a notebook and a pen with me and watched for certain things in the classroom. I looked for the student teacher in interaction along with student to student interaction. I also looked to see if the teacher assigned group activities/work. I also looked to see if the teacher tried to bring all her students together when teaching something or when asking questions. I also looked to see if the more quiet students interacted with the teacher if needed or even his or her peers. These were all important because socialization is key in my paper.
