WHAT THOUGHTS ARE RUNNING IN YOUR MIND ABOUT THE


FOLLOWING PICTURES?

OBSERVATION

Observation is a technique of gathering data


whereby you personally watch, interact, or
communicate with the subjects of your research
7

Major forms of observation


8

1. Structured observation or systematic observation

✖ Researcher employs explicitly rules for the


observation and recording of behavior.
✖ Observation is scheduled to ensure participant’s
behavior is systematically recorded
9

2.Participant observation
*One of the best-known methods of research in the
social sciences.
*Immersion is necessary to observe the behavior of
participants is their natural setting
10

3. Non-participant observation
✖ Is used to describe a situation in which the observer
observes but does not participate in which he or she
seeks to observe.
✖ Structured observers are usually non-participants
✖ Non-participant observers record behaviors
through the use of checklist.
11

4.Unstructured observation
✖ Does not entail the use of observation schedule for
recording of the behavior

✖ Record in as much as detail as possible the behavior of the


participants

✖ Aims at developing a narrative account of that behavior


12

Simple observation and contrived observation

○ Simple
✖ The observer is unobtrusive and is not observed by those being observed.
✖ The observer had no influence over the situation being observe.
○ Contrived
✖ The observer actively alters the situation to observe the effects of an
intervention
13

Advantages of observation
1. It uses simple collection technique and data recording method.

2. It is inclined to realizing its objectives because it just depends on watching and

listening to the subjects without experiencing worries.

3. It offers fresh and firsthand knowledge that will help you come out with an easy

understanding and deep reflection of the data.

4. It is quite valuable in research studies about organizations that consider you, the

researcher, a part of such entity


14

Disadvantages of observation

1. It requires a long period of time for planning

2. Engrossed in participating in the subjects’ activities, you may neglect the

primary role of the research.

3. It is prone to your hearing derogatory statements from some people in the

group that will lead to your biased stand toward

Interview and interview


data
16

interview

⮚ Is a data gathering technique that makes you verbally ask the subjects or
respondents questions to give answers to what your research study is
trying to look for.
⮚ Aims at knowing what respondents think and feel about the topic of your
research
17

Three types of research


interview
18

1.STRUCTURED INTRVIEW
>These are fundamentally, orally facilitated questionnaires

>It requires the use of interview schedule.

>There is little or no scope of follow-up questions to


responses that allow further explanation.

>Only permits for limited participant responses


19

2.semistructured

⮚ Consists of several key questions that help to define the areas to be explored, but
allows the interviewer or interviewee to deviate to pursue an idea or response in
more detail
⮚ It allows freedom for you to change the questions and for the respondents to
think of their own answers
⮚ Flexible and an organized type of interview.
20

3.unstructured
✖ It may just begin with a question such as “tell me about your
experience of visiting a community at Leveriza, Manila”

✖ The respondents answer the questions based on what they


personally think and feel about it.
