4.2.2 - Types of observation

4.2.2 Types of observation: participant, non-participant, structured, naturalistic, overt and covert.; Content analysis.

Use - types of observation to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - types of observation determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - types of observation to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Types of observation is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
