Observations-Inferences+Of+Learning+-+Group+2

=How does learning occur? You decide!= In the space below please do the following:
 * Name of group members (not last names)
 * Name of observer || **Observation** || **Findings** || **Questions** ||
 * Julie || individual pumping gas for the first time, being shown/explained how to do it by a friend || individual successfully pumped own gas with verbal prompts from friend || What would have happened if the friend was not there providing instruction? ||
 * Rehab || a child learning how to swim || not successful in learning how to swim, child was more interested in playing in the water more than following the directions || Is this the correct age to teach a child how to swim?

Would the child have been successful learning to swim if mom wasn't teaching? || If the child wasn't given a worksheet as a guide for use with the manipulatives would the child have used the manipulatives correctly? ||
 * Kim || a group of teachers learning how to deliver a standardized assessment || teachers followed along with the instructor, using the tools provided as they deemed necessary for themselves (highlighters, sticky notes, writing utensils) seemed successful in understanding the information that was delivered || Would more learning opportunities have occurred if the group were smaller? ||
 * Abby || a child learning how to use math manipulatives during a lesson on place value || child used the tool successfully and was able to determine place value to the thousands || Could the child have been successful learning the skill without manipulatives?

Conclusion with inferences and questions:
Hands on learning contributed to the success of the learners.
