A qualitative observation is used in chemistry, and is simply observing physical changes.
A qualitative observation merely indicates that the subject possesses a certain quality, for example "this water is salty". A quantitative observation takes a measurement of the quality, for example "this salty water has a concentration of 10% salt".
a non-example is an astronomer looking a the ground
Qualitative observations are those that cannot be measured mathematically or assigned a value. For example, "the sky is blue," is a qualitative observation, it has no mathematical value associated with it. Quantitative observations are those that have a mathematical value. For example, "this desk is 1 meter long" is a quantitative observation. Therefore, noting that something is bubbling is an example of a qualitative observation.
The different methods of observation include naturalistic observation, structured observation, participant observation, and controlled observation. Naturalistic observation involves observing subjects in their natural environment without interference. Structured observation involves creating specific conditions for observation. Participant observation involves the researcher actively participating in the environment being observed. Controlled observation involves manipulating and controlling variables during the observation process.
Three types of observation in language study are body language, the tone of the person, and the overall attitiude. That is the easiest way of determining the overall idea of what the person is trying to convey.
This is an example of an observation, as it describes a physical characteristic of the bird.
Observation
an inference
naturalistic observation. =)
Naturalistic observation is when the person doesn't know that they are being observed. It takes place in a natural environment. Example: You're watching every move of a cricketer and observing what he is doing while he has no idea that YOU are observing him Controlled observation is like when the person conducting the research that is the psychologist conducting this in the lab. He knows you're watching
Recording a birdsong and describing it as a"calming" is an example of which type of observation
