Working on research

Statistical tests are used before and after the researcher conducts the lessons. While using statistical tests the form and the structure of the tests should be same. It is important point to get valid results from subjects of the research. At the end of the research results of the statistical test should be compared by researcher in order to see the progress or regress of the research.

Observation

Observation

Observation, as the name implies, is a way of collecting data through observing.

Observation data collection method may involve watching, listening, reading, touching, and recording behavior and characteristics of phenomena.

Observation as a data collection method can be structured or unstructured. In structured or systematic observation, data collection is conducted using specific variables and according to a pre-defined schedule. Unstructured observation, on the other hand, is conducted in an open and free manner in a sense that there would be no pre-determined variables or objectives.

Moreover, this data collection method can be divided into overt or covert categories. In overt observation research subjects are aware that they are being observed. In covert observation, on the other hand, the observer is concealed and sample group members are not aware that they are being observed. Covert observation is considered to be more effective because in this case sample group members are likely to behave naturally with positive implications on the authenticity of research findings.
