observation method involves the study of the qualitative characteristics of the surveyed mental processes, as well as the installation of regular relations and links between them (especially).It is based on direct perception lies objective evidence, the researcher studied the mental processes of nature in the relevant activities.
observation methodology has a feature that allows to study the phenomenon directly during his stay in the natural environment for him, as it proceeds (phenomenon) in real life.This form of knowledge excludes the use of any methods that can make a change or disturb the natural course.In these circumstances, the method of observation makes it possible to obtain information about the phenomenon of life in all truthfulness and completeness of the available high-quality features.This form of study is considered to be indispensable in the process of describing the phenomena.If it is used in the explanation (interpretation) of events, is used method of comparison and analysis directly studied manifestations.
method of observation in psychology used in the study are not direct subjective experience of mental character, and their manifestations in the behavior and actions of the individual, in his activities and speeches.
between subjective experiences of mental health and the observed activity is objectively established a regular communication.Applying the method of observation, the researcher is able to make a well-founded conclusion.
the study of human movements and actions to evaluate their character, speed, strength and other characteristics.This observation method involves the simultaneous recording of the circumstances that caused or accompanied these quality characteristics.These studies make it possible to assess the wealth of the nature, the accuracy of the musculo-skeletal representations.For example, you can identify ataxia a professional gymnast, if he performs exercises in unknown, significantly different from the familiar, surroundings.
Organized correct objective observation method is characterized by certain features experts.
- phenomena subject to the investigation, are in a familiar environment for them.It does not make any changes to their usual course.The very fact of knowledge must not violate the phenomenon.
- study carried out in the most characteristic phenomenon conditions.So, for example, is particularly evident processes of emotional and volitional nature that are related to sports, it is better to learn than traditional lessons in physical education, and in terms of competition.
- collection of material in the study made by the provisional scheme (plan, program), the respective tasks of the study.Thus facilitates the selection of the objective characteristic of the phenomenon under investigation materials.
- The study is carried out systematically, with the number of persons and the number of cases is sufficient to obtain reliable results.
- In the study takes into account a fairly wide range of related phenomena studied circumstances.
- observations conducted at different varying natural conditions.
- research results are recorded in the protocol, which entered sufficient information characterizing the primary and the surrounding circumstances.
- As a rule, used the exact techniques to capture the observed phenomena.Sometimes it is necessary to use fairly complicated equipment.
