Observational Assessment
Observational assessment involves the systematic observation and evaluation of behavior, skills, or performance in a natural or controlled setting. This method allows for the direct measurement of a subject's abilities, interactions, and responses without relying on self-report or subjective interpretation. Observational assessment often involves trained observers who use specific criteria or checklists to record and analyze the behaviors being observed. This type of assessment is commonly used in educational, clinical, and research settings to gather objective data and inform decision-making.
