There are no signs indicating sadness or pleasure, comfort or discomfort. Facial expression and posture show little or no emotion. Moderate - The child has a neutral posture.However, the signals are less explicit than under level 1 or the sense of discomfort is not expressed the whole time. Low - The posture, facial expression and actions indicate that the child does not feel at ease.The child does not respond to the environment, avoids contact and is withdrawn. They may look dejected, sad, frightened or angry. Extremely Low - The child clearly shows signs of discomfort such as crying or screaming.However, children cannot peak at levels 4 or 5 all the time and levels will fluctuate throughout the day. Unless a child is operating at 4 or 5, learning will be limited. The observation can focus on groups of children or can be used to focus on a particular individual. The procedure is simple and can be compared to ‘scanning’: observe the children for about two minutes to ascertain the general levels of wellbeing and involvement using the five-point scale. The evaluation starts with assessing the levels of wellbeing and involvement using the tables. When there are high levels of wellbeing and involvement, we know that deep level learning is taking place. The higher the levels of wellbeing and involvement we can achieve for the child, the more we can add to the child’s development. If there is a lack of wellbeing and or involvement, it is likely a child’s development will be threatened. Laevers has created a 5 point scale to measure both wellbeing and involvement. Involvement refers to being intensely engaged in activities and is considered to be a necessary condition for deep level learning and development. Wellbeing is linked to self-confidence, a good degree of self-esteem and resilience.
