The words we choose to use, directly influence the value of the information we provide. Our experiences with pets and the observations that occur help us to gain more information about their behavior which helps us to choose a good match for a home. Whether performing a behavior evaluation, training a dog, or reporting our experiences with a dog in the shelter, our words are valuable and have power. We do not have any contact with official entities nor do we intend to replace the information that they emit.The words we use are important. The above content published at Collaborative Research Group is for informational and educational purposes only and has been developed by referring reliable sources and recommendations from experts. Indirect observer. It is the one who acquires knowledge of the object or the fact of study based on the observations made before by another person or first-source researcher or based on archaeological remains that evidence historical information.
Direct observer. It is the one who has contact with the object or fact of study and is also called a first-source observer. 
The direct observer is also called “first source”. It may require the use of observational instruments and tools that allow obtaining qualitative (that is, descriptive) and quantitative analytical data that are assigned numerical values so that they can be measured and compared.
#OBJECTIVE OBSERVATION REGISTRATION#
The registration of the steps applied to scientific observation is useful so that the process can be repeated , to corroborate the veracity of the data obtained or to modify any of the instances if necessary.

It requires the elaboration of a previous hypothesis that will give reason to the experimental investigation. The hypothesis will allow defining a structure or series of steps to follow for experimentation through observation. The scientific method is one of the research procedures that is based on observation to obtain quantifiable and verifiable information about an object of study. The scientific method requires a prior hypothesis that gives rise to the investigation.
Simple or unstructured observation. It is a type of observation that arises without a premeditated objective or a specific preparation, that is, it occurs without an intention and in a random way, although some data or information is always obtained regarding what is observed. Semi-structured observation. It is a type of observation that implies prior planning or intention to investigate, but is based only on observation without intervening in the object or phenomenon of study. Scientific or structured observation . It is a type of observation that is based on a methodology and a specific procedure to analyze and investigate a matter. It may require the use of observation and analysis instruments and tools. The general types or methodologies of observation can be: It can occur casually without the intention of observing or it can occur intentionally based on a series of structured steps to learn about an object or phenomenon and study it. It can be done directly by the attentive gaze of an individual or through tools , such as lenses, machinery, computers, microscopes or telescopes. It is a method of perception that allows information to be obtained from the world. 
It is a human capacity that is conditioned by the perspective and previous knowledge of the observer. It is a human capacity that works through the sense of sight . Observation collects information that can be studied and analyzed.Īmong the main characteristics of the observation, the following stand out: Observation is also a method used in scientific research to study certain phenomena. Through observation during a certain period of time, verifiable data and information are obtained. The scientific observation may require research tools such as a microscope to observe cells or a telescope to observe the stars of the sky. It involves a reasoning process through sensory information received by sight and which is influenced or affected by sensory information from the other senses : hearing, smell, taste and touch .įor example: If a small cloud of smoke is observed that comes from a nearby house, it can be assumed that it is a controlled smoke. On the other hand, if shouting and sirens are heard when observing the smoke, it can be decoded that it is an emergency. Observation is the ability of the human being to look attentively and to distinguish an object, a person or a situation, through the sense of sight . It is one of the methods of perception and capture of information about the world that surrounds the individual. In addition, its general characteristics and the types that exist. We explain what observation is, what its objective is and the methods it uses.
