Key Concepts

Observation

Observation is the process of gathering information by using the senses or instruments to perceive events, objects, or phenomena. It involves noticing behavior, patterns, or specific details in a systematic manner, which forms the basis for further analysis or conclusions in scientific research and various fields of study.

It serves as raw material that can be analyzed statistically or conceptually to generate insights, support decision-making, and validate hypotheses, transforming observations into actionable knowledge.
