Participant observation can, for purposes of simplicity, "be placed on a continuum with 'passive' participant observation at one end of the continuum, and 'active' participant observation at the other" (Burgess, 2003, p.69). These two forms of observer participation give rise to four strategies; complete participant, complete observer, participant-as-observer, and observer-as-participant, which have been better-explained through the scenarios below (Burgess, 2003).
Observations of professional conduct in the classroom by the student author of a course evaluation guide
The complete participant strategy works best in this case; the observer ought to act like a full member of the group and not reveal his research intentions because any suspicions by members of the observed group could lead them to display bias in an attempt to make the evaluation go a certain way.
Observation of retail shoppers by a researcher who is interested in determining customer purchase time by type of goods purchased
The participant-as-observer technique; the investigator reveals his research intentions from the onset,...
However, as he or she continues to interact with the observed group, his status evolves from being a total stranger to being an accepted categorical member (Biggemann, 2010). This strategy works best in this scenario; first, because the revelation of intentions would not in any way alter the observed group's purchase decisions; and secondly, because such a study would take some period of time and it would be crucial for the investigator to build positive relations with the observed group, because then, the latter would be more willing to open up and probably give the rationale behind their purchase decisions.
Observation of a focus group interview by a client
The observer-as-participant technique would work best, given that this is a rather formal scenario that calls for brevity and is unaccompanied by attempts to build lasting relationships. The investigator would probably pay only one visit to the study group, and gather information using a questionnaire.

" May (2003) emphasizes the need exists for greater technological sense and knowledge for all current and future students. Consequently, this need has led to incorporation of technology in classrooms settings, as technologies aim to increase students' intensity of wisdom, cooperation and text assessment. Today, literacy reading skills prove to be vital for both normal and special-needs students, as exposure to literacy encompasses more than books. In fact, the range
Observations Observations are possibly the oldest scientific tool around. Likely, too, it is the cheapest method, and, in a manner of speaking (depending on the length of time of the observation), the least time-consuming. Certainly, it is the easiest. Observations are also more direct than questionnaires or experimental method in that they do not require the subjects to respond to written (or verbal) questions, nor attempt to persuade them to do
66). Furthermore, social software will only increase in importance in helping organizations maintain and manage their domains of knowledge and information. When networks are enabled and flourish, their value to all users and to the organization increases as well. That increase in value is typically nonlinear, where some additions yield more than proportionate values to the organization (McCluskey and Korobow, 2009). Some of the key characteristics of social software applications
Then students use AlphaSmart software to paste the picture and explain in a paragraph why, how and where in the plot they feel that picture relates to the story. This tests three things: (a) student concentration; (b) student level of understanding of the general plot; and - student imagination. This is an important implementation because it opens the students' horizons and allows them to see the general links and
