Socialthinking - The Zones of Regulation Series

We start by teaching individuals to observe others across different situations and identify the expected and unexpected behavior they notice and the impact this has on others’ thoughts, emotions, reactions and responses. Over time, we gradually extend the learning to teach the full Social-Emotional Chain Reaction by having individuals observe their own behavior, recognize how it impacts others, and connect how others’ responses impact how they themselves think and feel. Social Behavior Mapping makes the complicated process of how we all affect one another’s thoughts, feelings, and actions visual and concrete! The Book Bozkurt M.

The same set of video cameras were re-used for data collection at the 3 preschool centres covered in the previous phase of this project. Having different cameras positioned at the 3 preschool centres and at fixed locations throughout the duration of the data collection phase may increase the number of intervals collected for each preschool facility. The grid-based visualization using bubble pie charts also served as the basis for the aggregation of grid cells to analyze activities around each piece of equipment or play area alongside the videos. To aid longitudinal analysis using similar monthly geospatial locations for all equipment and play areas, a uniform naming scheme was adopted to aggregate grid cells relative to each equipment or play area for each month. The uniform naming scheme does not imply that the same set of grids were aggregated for each equipment or play area monthly. For example, “Wind tube experiment” refers to locations where all observed play occurred using the wind tube experiment. A uniform grid cell aggregation approach could not be adopted for all months because the location of some movable equipment in the LTP room varied monthly. The monthly videos showed when observed play activities and social behaviors were related to a piece of equipment directly or indirectly. For example, children would stand closer to the wood tree house rather than the wind tube while waiting to catch the scarves and soft balls pushed out of the wind tube. The videos also showed when play activities were in an open area being utilized collectively by more than one child, or at varied locations in the room by individual children.
