• In classroom observation, the observer’s field notes provide a running commentary on the events which occur in a lesson.

This is not to say that inferences or opinions need to be avoided entirely, but that they must be,

• 1) recognised as inferences or opinions by the observer

Observation use for...

• Analysing datas• Interaction• Research• Supervision • Teacher development• Teacher Educations

Conclusion

• Whether classroom observation is used for teacher education, supervision, teacher development or research there are now numerous instruments and codified procedures for working with observational data. In addition, in action research, peer observation and peer coaching, teachers themselves use a variety of procedures for observing classroom interaction, and analysing the data collected during observations.
