OBSERVATION AS A DATA COLLECTION METHOD
Why observe?
Observation allows the researcher to study people in their 'natural setting‘ without their behavior being
influenced by the presence of a researcher.
Some methods only allow for the study of one individual at a time. Observation enables the research to
study groups of people together, that is, it allows for the study of interaction between the members of a
group
CHARACTERISTICS OF OBSERVATION RESEARCH

Observation as a method of data collection has certain characteristics.
1. It is both a physical and a mental activity. The observation eye “catches” many things which are
sighted, but attention is focused on data that are pertinent to the given study.
2. Observation is selective. A researcher does not observe anything and everything, but select the range
of things to be observed on the basis of the nature, scope and objectives of his study.
3. Observation is purposive and not casual. It is made for the specific purpose of nothing things
relevant to the study.
4. It captures the natural social context in which persons’ behavior occurs.
OBSERVATION TYPES
 Participant Observation
 Non-participant Observation
METHODS OF OBSERVATION
 Direct Observation
 Indirect Observation
 Controlled Observation
 Uncontrolled Observation
PARTICIPANT OBSERVATION
The participant observation means watching the events or situation or activities from inside by taking
part in the group to be observed. He freely interacts with the other group members, participates in
various activities of the group, acquires the way of life of the observed group or his own, and studies
their behavior or other activities not as an outsider but by becoming a member of that group.
NON-PARTICIPANT OBSERVATION
When the observer observes the group passively from a distance without participating in the group
activities, it is known as non-participant observation. Here he does not try to influence them or take
part in the group activities.
DIRECT OBSERVATION
This observation method makes you see or listen to everything that happens in the area of observation.
For instance, things happening in a classroom, court trial, and the like, come directly to your senses.
What you should focus your attention to during the observation is specified by your research problem
in general as well as your specific research question.
INDIRECT OBSERVATION
This method is also called behavior archaeology because, here, you observe traces of past events to get
information or a measure of behavior, trait, or quality of your subject. Center to this method are things
you listen to through tape recordings, and those you see in pictures, letter, notices, minutes of
meetings, and so.
CONTROLLED OBSERVATION
Controlled observations are the observations made under the influence of some of the external forces
and such observations rarely lead to improvement in the precision of the research results. But these
observations can be very effective in the working if these are made to work in the coordination with
mechanical synchronizing devices, film recording etc.
UNCONTROLLED OBSERVATION
Non controlled observations are made in the natural environment and reverse to the controlled
observation these observations involve no influence or guidance of any type of external force.

Turban Legend
by R Zamora Linmark
By the time Vince arrives at the Philippine Airlines departures terminal, it is already bustling with restless
souls who, with their balikbayan boxes, have transformed the terminal into a warehouse, as if they're
returning to the motherland on a cargo ship rather than Asia's first airline carrier. Comedians use these
durable cardboard boxes as materials for their Filipino-flavored jokes. "How is the balikbayan box like
American Express to Filipinos? Because they never leave home without it."
Everywhere Vince turns are boxes, boxes, and more boxes. Boxes secured by electrical tape and ropes.
Boxes with drawstring covers made from canvas or tarp. Boxes lined up like a fortified wall behind check-in
counters or convoying on squeaky conveyor belts of x-ray machines. Boxes blocking the Mabuhay Express
lane for first-and business-class passengers. Boxes stacked up on carts right beside coach passengers
standing in queues that are straight only at their starting points before branching out to form more-or
converge with other-lines, bottlenecking as they near the ticket counter.
Boxes that ought to be the Philippines' exhibit at the next World's Fai1, Vince tells himself as he navigates
his cartload of Louis Vuitton bags in and out of the maze. An exhibit that should take place none other than
here, at the Honolulu International Airport, he laughs, as he imagines an entire terminal buried in the
Filipinos' most popular-and preferred-pieces of luggage.
With a balikbayan box Filipinos can pack cans of Hormel corned beef, Libby's Vienna sausage, Folgers, and
SPAM; perfume samples; new or hand-me-down designer jeans; travel-sized bottles of shampoo,
conditioner, and body lotion gleaned from Las Vegas hotels; and appliances marked with
first-world labels that, as anyone who's been to the Philippines knows, can easily be purchased at Duty Free
right outside the airport or from any of the crypt-like malls that are so gargantuan they're a metropolis unto
themselves.
Filipinos will even throw themselves into these boxes, as was the case of the overseas contract worker in
Dubai. The man, an engineer was so homesick that, unable to afford the ticket-most of his earnings went to
cover his living expenses and the rest to his wife and children-he talked his roommate, who was homebound
for the holidays, into checking him in. He paid for the excess baggage fee, which still came out cheaper
than a round-trip airfare. En route to Manila, he died from hypothermia.
Vince, who had heard the story from his older sister Jing, didn't buy it. There were too many loopholes, too
many unanswered questions, like wouldn't an x-ray machine in the Middle East detect a Filipino man curled
up inside a box? He simply dismissed it as a "turban legend."
"You're missing the point brother," Jing said.
"It's not the mechanics that matter. It's about drama. The extremes a Filipino will go to just to be back home
for Christmas with his family."

Summary of the Bread of Salt by N V MGonzales
It was his assigned duty to be up early in the morning and be on his way to the baker’s to buy rolls and
pan desal for the breakfast table. He was fourteen and he has already got used to his task. On his way he
thought of the bread of salt – pandesal – and wondered how it was made, what gives its flavor and shape.
He looked around the landscape at daybreak and once again remembered how much he adored Aida, the
niece of the old Spaniard whom he thought he was destined to serve, "just like his late grandfather. The times he
thought it was his duty to stay in the house in the service of the young maiden. He even dreamed that she
likewise keeps an intense emotion for him, which she will only dare manifest in the right time.
He was a diligent student and violinist. It didn’t take long before he was transferred from second to first
violin and before long, he was invited to "join pete Saez’ band and perform in one engagement after another. He
was happy to earn money through his own skill, although it was with utter bitterness that he had to endure
rehearsals despite the outward disapproval of his aunt against his chosen field. The thought musicians are
no better than dogs scurrying to get their mouths on food scraps in trash bins. But he didn’t mind, thinking
that the money he’ll earn from playing the violin will allow him the capacity to buy a brooch and beautiful
stationery for his ardent love letters to Aida.
Then he was invited, together with Saez band, to the asalto for Don steban’s daughters who were arriving
from Manila. He was honored to be in a sophisticated gathering and get a magnified look at Aida’s stunning
beauty. He was beside himself with immeasurable "joy and pride but will later on be displaced by an equally
immeasurable embarrassment at the buffet table after Aida caught him sneaking some sweets into the
packet under his shirt. She nonetheless offered him a big package of food after the party but due to his
intense shame, he lost the composure to react along with the entire ardor he used to shower the maiden
with. After the party they led the guests’ home with their music. Then with Paez, he went to the bakery to
buy pandesal with his own money. But the bread wasn’t ready yet so they waited.
