CLASSROOM OBSERVATION AND RESEARCH

There are so many methods which can be used in conducting a research. Every method has its own strength and weakness. Before a researcher conduct a research, they must choose which method or techniques is more appropriate. This paper explains that there are at least for methods that can be used when a researcher wants to conduct a research in teaching and learning development. Those methods are formal experiment, stimulated recall, observation schemes, and interaction analysis. The focus of this paper is not about how the method is but how researchers observe on what is going on inside the classroom using those methods.
