The Method of Observation in Science Education: Characteristic Dimensions from an Educational Perspective

Abstract: Observation is widely regarded as a fundamental way of studying nature. However, due to its complexity, proposing a comprehensive characterization is challenging. Observation is a method of studying nature that can be divided into several dimensions. Each of these dimensions can be presented as a pair of terms, which are elaborated in this paper based on the epistemological, philosophical, and educational literature. In addition, the dimensions can be assigned to two levels, which can be used to group the indi… Show more

“…The first process is known as an observation; it is the discovery and careful examination of the phenomenon, event, or problem that is to be addressed (Gale, 2001;Kraus, 2023) Discoveries can come about in a variety of ways, and some of the most famous is a product of coincidence But often, discoveries and observations result from a conscious desire of the observer to find a specific case or situation. These observations will often lead to a question that originates from the curiosity of human beings (McLelland, 2007).…”

“…Teaching observation is the direct perception and understanding of the teaching process under natural conditions. Observation requires the researcher to accurately fix the facts and conduct an objective pedagogical analysis (Caratiquit & Pablo, 2021;Kraus, 2023). Observations in pedagogical research can be aimed at achieving various goals.…”
