ecological assessment

the gathering of observations in various environments to examine whether individuals or entities behave differently depending on the surroundings. For example, a teacher at a child-development center may investigate whether children demonstrate more or less problem behavior in various settings at the center. Findings from the ecological assessment may offer ideas on how to intervene to improve the overall behavior of the children in multiple settings.
