ECE 430 - TEACER AS A RESEARCHER (2019) NAME – DHEENA WILARACHCHI- 217385949 ASSESSMENT TASK – 1 RESEARCH PLAN How music and mindfulness can be influence to develop self - regulate in kindergarten children? Introduction All living things have self - regulation and self-organize mechanism that guides their development and adaptation stated Bronson (2000). In kindergarten setting I have experience with the children age between 4-6 years who struggles to overcome responsible and conscious during their social interaction. According to the Bronson (2000). ‘Self-regulation begins with life’. Therefore As a pre service teacher I would like to research why children struggles to overcome these situations? What influence children’s self- regulation development? How environment can be influence? According to Leong (March 2008) ‘self- regulation is a deep internal mechanism that enables children as mindful, intentional and behaviors’. However, lack of self- regulation challenge children to transitions to school. Dr. Williams stated there are 11% in two or more children with development vulnerability still entering to school. Moreover, positive and effective relationships with children can develop children’s self- confidence. According to ACEQA, 2011 Nation quality standard 5 ‘Responsive and meaningful interactions build trusting relationships which engage and support each child to feel secure, confident and included therefore, we must supporting children in decision making. Dr. Kate Williams also stated that early year’s self- regulation is challengeable, it comes with practice not with maturity. Scientifically the left side of the brain helps to think logically where right side of the brain helps to involve in emotions and read nonverbal cues. (Daniel J. Siegel, 2011). Mainly, the prefrontal cortex is responsible complex cognitive, social behavior, expression, decisions making (Daniel J. Siegel, 2011, pg. 38-40). In les Vygotsky’s theories’ cognitive development depends upon when children engage in social behavior. (Vygotsky, L.S. 1978). Researching on all the aspects helps me to understand how children’s body and mind interconnected their behavior. Therefore I thought that healing children’s body and mind will help them to control behavioral issues, feelings and emotions. Therefore to heal body and mind we can use music. Dr. Kate Williams stated that music has lots of opportunities to for maintaining attention, (inhabit) stop, wait, take turns and motor coordination. Engaged children in music and mindfulness program in classroom can develop self -regulation. I have seen children can be calm down for a moment and then they started to shout and talked to each other in the next minute. Suddenly the situation escalated to a clamorous room. In the kindergarten where I work have diverse cultural background. I have observed most of children who comes in the morning have tantrums and separation anxiety. During the kinder program I have noticed that children have lack of self - control skills. Observing all the situation and written documents such as positive behavior plans, redirecting children and informing parents about issues that we have in classroom, I have discussed with kinder teacher about the methods that we have used to develop their self - regulation skills. Reflective practices is the ongoing learning which involves philosophy, ethics and practices. Reflective practices will help to understand what happens and what can be change. (EYLF, 2012). How can we help children to increase their attention and emotional feelings in the classroom? Effective self- regulation provides a basic step for positive classroom behavior. (Blair and Razza, 2007). I believe that music can help children to concentrate as well as their body movements. Therefore I will use music and mindfulness to develop children self –regulations and to make it successful research. As I mentioned in my introduction, I realized that I should develop a plan for kindergarten setting. The kinder that I would like to work on my research is situated in eastern suburbs. At present it is a multicultural center. Most of the teachers and children were migrants. Most of the teachers help children using their home language, signs and gestures to communicate. The kindergarten is situated in the area calm and quiet covered with trees. ‘Music is medicine of the mind’ (quaratine81) because music is a language. Children in this center are happy without knowing that they are exposed to different language and culture. In the kindergarten there are 30 children with kinder teacher and two assistant teachers where they provide inclusive support for one to one children with spectrum. Planned program with spontaneous activities in a play based environment. Most of the children have long terms and short terms goals with the help of teacher and educators working towards to develop resilience skills, communicate, integrity, sharing, independent and confidence. Observing all the details, I believe that the research will support the children to experience learning that is engaging and build success for life. (EYLF, 2012). References 1.

ECE 430 DHEENA WILARACHCHI – 217385949 Assessment Task 1 Guide Overview Weighting – 20% Number of words – 800 words You will establish a project title and discuss the rationale for the selection of this topic. The topic must be relevant to the early childhood and/or primary educational context. You are encouraged to select a topic which will add value to your personal professional profile with consideration of the AITSL Teaching Standards and/or the National Quality Standards. Steps Step 1 Choose an area of interest that draws from the knowledge that you have gained in one of these three areas: • Aboriginal Knowledge and Experiences • Arts Education • Promoting equity, Social justice and Diversity Step 2  Develop a title for your classroom inquiry Classroom inquiry usually focuses on the following three threads.  1) an inclusion  For example: How does the introduction of other local languages through games in group time (e.g.,‘what’s the time Mr. Wolf in mandarin?) build an appreciation for linguistic and cultural diversity?’ 2) an activity For example: How does an acknowledgement to country before group time influence engagement with Aboriginal knowledge and experiences?  3) a resource: For example: How does the introduction of dance space in the kinder room, with dance resources such as scarves, hoops, CD and music to support children’s wellbeing and self-regulation? Working out what your thread is, will help you develop a title. It is sometimes easier to write your title as a question first and then rearrange the words to turn it into a statement. For example the question: How does the introduction of other local languages through games in group time (e.g.,‘what’s the time Mr. Wolf in mandarin?) build an appreciation for linguistic and cultural diversity?’ Could be rearranged as the following for a title: Using local languages through group time games to build children's appreciation for linguistic and cultural diversity Step 3 (450 words) In one short paragraph (up to 100 words) outline what your topic will focus on. Provide the question of your inquiry at the end of the paragraph.  Then with consideration of scholarly literature and links to the AITSL standards, curriculum documents and National Quality Standard to outline the background of your inquiry topic. Explain why your inquiry is important for an early childhood or primary school setting and also to your own professional learning.  Step 4 (350 words) Develop a plan of how you will collect information that will support the development of the inquiry during your 35 hour placement.  The plan should contain specific details relating to: · Any activities that will be implemented within the classroom as part of the inquiry (e.g., group time games, acknowledgement to country, inclusion of new resources creative art experiences)  · The type of data that needs to be collected to evaluate the inquiry (e.g., observations, interview with staff, sample of children's work, a research journal) · Who will be involved in the inquiry and why · The timeline of which the inquiry activities will take place · Detail any ethical considerations

Introduction
As suggested by Bronson (2000), all living things have self-regulation and self-organizing mechanisms that guide their development and adaptation. At kindergarten setting, I have experienced with the children age between 4-6 years, who struggles to overcome responsible and conscious during their social interaction. According to the Bronson (2000), self-regulation begins with life, therefore being a pre-service teacher, I would like to research why children struggle to overcome these situations. What influences children’s self- regulation development and the way environment can be an influence to the prior mentioned issue.
Focus of the Topic
As suggested by to Bodrova and Leong (2008), self-regulation is a deep internal mechanism that enables children to be engaged within mindful, intentional and thoughtful behaviors. However, lack of self- regulation challenges children during their transitions to school. As mentioned by Williams (2015), 11% of two or more children with development vulnerability goes through the transitions and carry them to school. However, positive and effective relationships with children can develop children’s self-confidence. According to ACECQA (2011) National quality standard 5, ‘Responsive and meaningful interactions build trusting relationships with children, who engage and support each child to feel secure, confident and included. Therefore, we must support children with their decision-making. Williams (2015) mentioned that early year’s self- regulation is challengeable, and it comes with practice not with maturity. Scientifically, the left side of the brain helps to think logically on the other hand, the right side of the brain helps to involve in emotions and read nonverbal cues (Hallam, 2010).
