Summary
  1. "Observing Schools discusses the nature and purposes of observational research in schools. It covers the different observational techniques which can be used, and their advantages and disadvantages. The author discusses in detail the preparations which must be made before observation, the process of observation itself, and the recording and analysis of observations. The book also explores how assessments can be made of observational accounts and deals with the ethical issues raised by his kind of research. These discussions are illustrated throughout by examples drawn from recent observational work conducted on a variety of aspects of school life."--Jacket
