When data collection is reliant on teacher reporting and therefore the "...perception and rating of the Kindergarten teacher" (Guhn, Guderman, & Zumbo, 2007, p. 456), how would you suggest best controlling for or adjusting for perception bias?
Teacher reporting is understandably used in studies like that of Guhn, Guderman & Zumbo (2007). In the Guhn, Gederman & Zumbo (2007) study, the Kindergarten teachers rated their own students on the EDI. It is difficult to conceptualize other means by which the students could be evaluated. Researchers could use third-party observers, such as Kindergarten teachers from other schools. This might reduce perception bias in that teachers are somewhat likely to develop personal likes or dislikes during the course of instructing their students. A teacher from another school who has not been in contact with the students might have less personal bias toward the population being measured, but would be lacking in the ability to evaluate the students on the EDL survey parameters. Therefore, it would be preferable to retain the teacher reporting but try and adjust for perception bias in some way. One method would be to supplement the teacher reporting with a third party objective observer. This would create a burdensomely large data pool, but might...

Early Childhood Development Research on the brain and early childhood development indicates that the first four years of life are a period of particularly rapid development of brain structures and function. According to Larissa Scott (2004) the potential of the brain can be enhanced by presenting the right experiences at the right times, in the right amounts. In the initial stages of life, children's brains can be compared to a sponge
Childhood Development Factors Influencing Early Childhood Development Darling and Steinberg (1993) proposed a model of parenting that integrated several prior models. They discriminated between parenting practice and parenting style, with the former representing domain-specific parenting habits and the latter domain-independent social interactions between parent and child. A critical distinction between parenting practice and style, based on their model, is that style communicates to the child how the parent feels about the child
Early Childhood Development Roles and Responsibilities of an Early Childhood Professional Early childhood professionals are often required to wear many hats, particularly because their job description changes almost on a daily basis. As a facilitator of learning, an early childhood professional acts as a guide.
