Methods:
1. Anecdotal Records
- Record student behavior
- Determine in advance what to observe but look for a typical and unusual behavior
- Analyze observational records for bias
- Observe and record enough times to make behavior meaningful
- Make a record of incident
- Record positive and negative behavior
2. Self-report
A self-report study is a type of survey, questionnaire, or poll in which respondents read the question and select a response by themselves without researcher interference. A self-report is any method which involves asking a participant about their feelings, attitudes, beliefs and so on. Examples of self-reports are questionnaires and interviews; self-reports are often used as a way of gaining participants' responses in observational studies and experiments
3. Interest Inventories
- Interest inventories can be as simple as "like or dislike" or can be ranking
- Problems with these inventories is that interest alone cannot dictate academic preparation or skill to succeed in that interest
- An interest in science may not be supported by mathematics or analytic skill necessary to enter the field
4. Personality Measures
- Personality inventories- ask question such as "Do you daydream often?", are you frequently depressed?" and other things to get personality profile
- Projective techniques- These test are usually used as parts of a complete clinical study
