In psychology, observation can take on two main forms: structured observation, where the observer follows a predetermined set of guidelines, and unstructured observation, where the observer can freely note behaviors without specific guidelines. Both forms are used to gather data on behavior and interactions in various settings for research or assessment purposes.
Assessment methods refer to the strategies or techniques used to evaluate a learner's progress or performance, such as tests, essays, or presentations. Assessment tools, on the other hand, are the specific instruments used within a method to collect data, such as rubrics, surveys, or observation checklists. Essentially, methods are the overarching approach, while tools are the specific means used to gather information.
Surgery involves various elements, including preoperative assessment, surgical technique, and postoperative care. Preoperative assessment ensures the patient is fit for surgery and identifies any potential risks. The surgical technique encompasses the specific procedures and tools used during the operation. Postoperative care focuses on recovery, monitoring for complications, and managing pain.
A skinfold assessment is a technique used to measure body fat percentage by caliper testing at specific sites on the body. The thickness of skinfold at various sites is measured, and the result is used to estimate the amount of subcutaneous fat under the skin. This method is commonly used in fitness and health assessments.
A quantitative [think 'quantity'] observation is an observation that you can relate specific numbers to. For example, a quantitative observation might be "It rained 1.5 inches yesterday." A qualitative [think 'quality'] observation is an observation that does not include specific numbers, such as "It rained a lot yesterday" or "It rained more yesterday than today."
"Grossly oriented" in psychology typically refers to a broad or general level of assessment or observation, without detailed analysis. It suggests a rough understanding or awareness of a situation or issue, rather than a deep or specific examination.
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.
Behavioral Assessment
Assessment tool is way of delivering assessment. For exam Information technology can be used as assessment tool ( Here computer and associated programs become one comprehensive tool) . However questions are assessment instrument. so technology is tool and content is instrument.
