Your Way: Some Observations on Observation


This 1 hour webinar is from our  suite of Your Way offerings. It is ready to be presented to your staff, at a time that suit you! Need more information? Simply fill out our enquiry form below for a quote.

Session Overview

Observation is a powerful method of gathering direct evidence, but it does have its problems. As an Assessor, you can observe people and products, but you can’t observe thinking or attitudes. You can only make inferences about them, and inferences are not reliable sources of evidence.

However, you can observe behaviour!

Well-developed assessment instruments are critical to ensuring that the evidence gathered is valid and reliable.  So, what do we need to look for in a well-developed observation assessment tool?

In this webinar, take a deeper look into all things Observation. This session explores observation as an evidence-gathering technique, it’s different forms, strengths and weaknesses, associated compliance issues as well as observations in the workplace during COVID-19 restrictions.

If you are looking for PD specifically designed to increase your knowledge and practice of observation assessment, this webinar is one not to be missed!
