with the work of other children; rather, each child's work should be analyzed and assessed for progress toward a standard of performance consistent with the child's development and growth. Informal InterviewsAnother, more specific form of assessment of children’s progress in social studies is the informal interview method, You could conduct interviews during free play or anytime you and individual children are together, You should look for the following as you interview children;1. Consistency. Does the child have a stable set of responses? Does the child reply in the same way to the same type of question?2. Accuracy. Are the answers correct? The child may not include all of the pos sibilities, hut is the response somewhat accurate?3. Clarity. Is the response clear and acceptable?4. Fullness. liow complete was the response? How many aspects of the concept were covered hy the response?5. Extensiveness. How many illustrations of the concept were given?As they conduct interviews to discover children's thinking about a social studies topic, teachers sometimes use pictures or objects for the children to manipulate in order to demonstrate or illustrate the concepts, Not all concepts can be expressed by children verbally; you could ask them to act out a concept, show it, draw all the things they know about it, or find an example of the concept in the pictures. The work of Piaget [1969] provides other guidelines for interviewing young children. The questions Piaget asked and the way in which he built his questions on the child's responses to the first question exemplify the type of interview technique that reveals children's thinking. For example, one teacher wanted to find out what children knew about seeds and plants. He asked them to tell him what grows from a seed, where one looks for seeds, and how one gets seeds to grow. In administering Piagetian interviews, you must establish an atmosphere of security and trust by communicating to the child that she is in a safe, nonthreatening position. When a cliiitl responds to your question, accept the answer without judgment.You might use a small tape recortlt-r to record the answer or take notes. Children's responses are often short, so they are not difficult to record hy hand.When the child responds, continue questioning by asking for justification. Do not assume that if a child gives a correct answet he has done the proper thinking. Several questions may be necessary to understand his perceptions and thinking processes. You might ask the child, "Could you show me?" "Would you tell me more?" on "What if. . .?" You could ask the child to act out the answer, or you could challenge his answer by saying, "Well, another person said . . ln this way, you will be able to uncover more of the child's thinking and ideas. You will need to give the child plenty of time to answer. In many testing situations, time is limited. When conducting an individual interview, you will want to allow the child all the time necessary to think and answer.Performance TasksStructuring tasks for children to demonstrate concepts and skills is another kind of informal assessment. You might ask children to draw a map of the room, show on a graph which bus has the most riders, complete a puzzle, or sort pictures into categories (e.g., needs and wants). One teacher used a set of pictures to assess children’s awareness of selected concepts in physical geography by asking them to select the four pictures that represented the concept and the four that did not.ChecklistsSome teachers find that checklists of behaviors or skills are a convenient way to document children's progress. You can construct a checklist for yourself designed around the specific concepts, goals, and objectives of the social studies unit or lesson plan. Other checklists are often provided by the school or by the county or state department of education and might be based on the genertil goals of social studies. Publishers of textbooks and instructional kits sometimes prepare checklists. Table 2.1 shows a checklist developed by a teacher for use with agroup of 5-year-old childen.Standardized TestsStandardized tests are based on goals and objectives decided by someone other than the classroom teacher and are intended to serve as large-scale evaluations.
