You are conducting a research study that explores the inappropriate out-of-seat classroom behavior of elementary school students in grades K-3. You are most interested in determining what cues or situations trigger these types of behaviors.
Would you use a narrative record method here when recording the data, or a record of selected behaviors would work better? Why? Would it be allowed that the data collectors to be aware of the hypothesis that you are testing? Why or why not?
What about inter-observer reliability? Is this an important measure in this study? How would it be measured? define and describe the Narrative Record Method, Specific Behavior, and Inter-Observer Reliability.
