Observation Report

 

For this assignment, you will report and analyze the results of your observation with the intent of developing a deeper understanding of your community of study. The report should include:

• a background section that presents a research question, summarizes your observation questions (what you wanted to find out from the observation), states your hypothesis (what you thought you’d find out from your observation), describes your population, and describes your role among the group (participant/non-participant observer)
• a methods section that details your observation process, including note-taking techniques, where and when you conducted the observation, and “thick description” of the observation site and participants
• a results section ordered by significance and reported by theme or topic that tells readers what you discovered from your research by describing and interpreting findings
• a conclusion section that tells readers what your observation results reveal about your topic, how they help to answer your research question, and why they are meaningful; you may also mention any researcher or participant biases, research design flaws, oversights/missed opportunities, and/or directions for future research.

–Not a traditional research essay.

–Presenting data (quantitative and qualitative) from your own personal observation of the community you’ve chosen.
