Systematic Observation

Systematic observation is a structured way of watching and recording behaviors or events in a consistent manner. It involves planning what to observe, defining clear criteria, and following a methodical process to ensure objectivity and reliability. This technique is often used in research, education, or behavioral assessments to gather accurate data about how people behave in specific settings. By observing systematically, one can compare behaviors over time or across different individuals, helping to identify patterns or evaluate the effectiveness of interventions in a clear and unbiased way.
