Abstract

Direct observation of a child in the classroom is one of the most widely accepted methods of obtaining knowledge about that child's classroom behavior. Other methods are also used, e.g. motion pictures, video and sound tap recordings, standardized assessment tests, and teacher descriptions. At this time no single method of behavior assessment is available to allow professional behavior observers complete insight into child's a child's behavior.

This study is an attempt to introduce a new observation method: time-lapse photography by comparing it with classroom observation.
