Data Collection Tools to Measure Developmental Behaviors How to Use Behavioral Recording 1. Define the behavior that you wish to observe.? Be very specific.? Be sure that your definition is so narrow in scope that others would observe only what you had in mind. 2.? Decide which type of behavioral recording is best suited to monitor the behavior. 3.? Decide when you will observe the behavior.? Do you want to observe the behavior in a number of situations or just one (e.g., math class, story time)? 4. Decide how long each of your observations will last. Ten to twenty minutes is usually adequate, but the more time you spend observing, the more accurate will be your results.? Repeat your observations at least three more times to give a more representative picture. 5. Observe and record the students behavior. 6. If you used frequency recording, figure the average number of occurrences per minute, hour, period, or day (whichever makes the most sense in talking about it with others).? If you used duration recording, figure the percentage of the total observation time that the behavior occurred.? If you used momentary time sampling, figure the percent of intervals when the behavior was occurring.? Plot the occurrence rate on a graph. 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6. Frequency Recording Frequency Recording is a simple counting of how many times a behavior occurs during a designated period of time. Those designated periods might be a minute, an hour, a day, or a week.? It is most useful with behaviors that are discrete and short in duration (e.g., number of short talk-outs without raising hand), or are things that the student has created (e.g., number of correct math problems, number of homework assignments submitted).? There is a?second type of frequency recording in which you count the number of items?(e.g.,?homework assignments, math problems, adjectives in an essay) that a student has produced.? It is known?as permanent product recording. Advanta
