Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sitting quietly at the back of the room and observing is the best approach to observation as it allows the observer to gain an initial understanding of the dynamics and interactions within the classroom before interacting with individuals or disrupting the flow of the class. It is important to be respectful of the teacher and students by not drawing attention to oneself through introductions or announcements. Developing rapport with individuals in the room can come later in the observation process once the observer has gained a basic understanding of the classroom. Writing one's name on the board would not be appropriate or necessary in this situation.
