Professor Patel is conducting observational research on children in kindergarten. Her data will make it possible for her to: describe the children. This question is about understanding psychological research. It is important to gather information on different ways/functions from as broad a perspective as possible in observational research (describe the children is an important tool). Because the child cannot describe their abilities/difficulties by themselves. And the child is expected to adapt to different routines, to interact and communicate, to develop in everyday skills, and to build a foundation for continued learning (life perspective).
