Observations and Measurements

Gregor Mendel, a scientist, used pea plants in a study to find out how heredity is passed through generations. He found out through observation and data collection how each trait is passed and came to conclusions no one before him had. Before his studies, we did not know as much or nearly at all about how traits were inherited from parents to their offspring. His study of these plants helped to shape the ideas we have about inheritance today. With his help we have developed a continuously…

collected and analyzed by using check lists, direct observation, experimental analysis and interviews. Furthermore, behavior analyst uses direct observation to record the problem behavior because it is the most reliable method. To assure reliability of recording direct observations, trained observers are used so they may observe the behavior as it occurs (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007). Using a tally mark is a simple way to record direct observations. The observer can put a strip of masking tape…

inappropriate times to talk. The final lines of this poem occur in 3:8. This set of verses has to do with affections and their consequences. Qohelet writes, “a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.” All these are Qohelet observations of human live experience under the sun. The internal parallelism of the previous six verses is in the final line of 3:8. This is probably due to a desire to end on a positive note—peace rather than war. It seems to proclaim the…

There is an element in his notes that is not seen in Rush’s. Devéze wrote specific details about his patients. The medical notes of Rush do not include the details like Devéze provides. In a…

Historical research teaches students to look to the past for answers and learn from those who have gone before us. Historical research also teaches students to find accurate data. Descriptive research allows students to learn from others through observation. Survey research allows students to learn about large groups of people at a time. Experimental research allows students to be in control of the experiment and determine which group will receive the experiment and which group will receive the…

During my first round of classroom observations I was only able to observe one classroom, but I definitely learned a lot from it. The desks in the classroom were all arranged in rows and all facing the front of the classroom and it made me reminisce about how I hated rows when I was in school. The students in this particular class were seen slouching in their desks, laying their head down, and not actively participating in class. There was no sort of classroom discussion and the students were…
