   Requirements for observation

The following tools  are required to sort out the observation in a well manner by a researcher .

• Field notes ;

                  Field notes are required for observation use by researcher to save a research data – human don not have such memory like rebot to remember the data more than 2 days.

• Observation guide ;

                         Observation guide a procedure means what is best way to observe accurately –It consist of questonaires .A researcher form a  question  which the participant answer it for data collection of a research.

                        Methods  of observation

The methods of observation is based on researcher involvement or dis-involvement for collecting a research data .

1. Participant observation ;

                                        When the researcher is involved for collecting a research data or researcher itself be a part of study then this type of observation is called participant observation .

• Direct observation ;

                            when the researcher does not involved in  collecting the research data but to observe the participants only

then this observation is called direct observation .

• Notification ;

                       Notification means to instruct or inform .

Notification in the sense of observation may be in the form of

a)covert    b) overt
