This supported the assumption that
the different observation methods provided comparable results for this meta - analysis.
There is no indication that NMPED has evaluated the reliability or validity of these three very
different observation methods, or tested their results for equivalence.

Repeatable in science refers to the ability to test the same hypothesis, using the same
methods (typically by independent researchers), to confirm or reject said hypothesis, e.g. the repeated
observation by many, many
different researchers of fossils in the correct temporal and morphological relationships within the fossil record (no rabbits in the pre-Cambrian, no humans alongside dinosaurs, etc).
The
methods of participant
observation are the same as those set forth in chapter 6, but the object of the inquiry is somewhat
different.
One key part of follow - up
observations is measuring a planet's mass, which must be found by a
different method, such as detecting the back - and - forth wobble of a parent star caused by the planet's mass as it orbits.
We were able to expose [our teachers] to
different observation models, the purposes behind them, and we were able to gauge (through feedback) the preferred
methods that teachers here had.
Figure 1 compares the three
different methods (classroom
observations, student surveys, and student achievement gains) on reliability and predictive power.
Ferede's study utilizes four
different research
methods: document and database review,
observations, semi-structured interviews, and social network maps.
Local educators say they chose the D.C.
observation method — essentially a list of standards that teachers must demonstrate during a classroom
observation, such as promoting critical thinking among students or managing classroom behavior — after looking closely at three
different options.
Some of them are optimal fingerprint detection studies (estimating the magnitude of fingerprints for
different external forcing factors in
observations, and determining how likely such patterns could have occurred in
observations by chance, and how likely they could be confused with climate response to other influences, using a statistically optimal metric), some of them use simpler
methods, such as comparisons between data and climate model simulations with and without greenhouse gas increases / anthropogenic forcing, and some are even based only on
observations.
A series of sensitivity tests show that our detection results are robust to observational data coverage change, interpolation
methods, influence of natural climate variability on
observations, and
different model sampling (see Supplementary Information).
Only through the process of stringing together such
observations from
different ships using
different sampling
methods are time - series obtained for individual 1X1 degree Marsden squares.
Structural uncertainty is attenuated when convergent results are obtained from a variety of
different models using
different methods, and also when results rely more on direct
observations (data) rather than on calculations.
Most current statistical
methods for detection and attribution rely on linear regression models where the
observations are regressed onto expected response patterns to
different external forcings.
These differences may be as much a function of
different interpolation
methods and station densities as they are of errors in
observations or the result of sampling
different time periods (Hulme and New, 1997; New, 1999).
To cover this vast amount of ground, it discusses, at a high level, subjects ranging from
observations of various parts of the climate system and climate modelling to the limits of economic assessments, the
different pathways of greenhouse gas emissions considered, adaptation response strategies and
methods of mitigation that include everything from from taxing greenhouse gas emissions to removing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.
Observations lasted for 50 minutes on 2
different days in the fall and spring each year using the interactive teaching map to document the use of the targeted teaching strategies in all conditions.37 Greater use of the experimental instructional and management
methods was observed in intervention classrooms, as discussed elsewhere.38 Teachers» use of the experimental instructional and management
methods has been found to predict short - term variation across classrooms in students» levels of social development constructs related to school bonding.38
The effect of the attachment enhancement program using multiple teaching
methods such as activity, modeling,
observation, and feedback was significantly
different from the one of using only attachment enhancing activity.
