Paterson et al. (2003) proposed an investigation into using "blended" observational methods. The idea of "blended" primarily involves the use of some form of video recording devices. Citing existing literature, they summarize a study by Evans (1998) who studied deaf students and used video recording to collect observational data. Paterson et al. identify the advantage to using video recording as it aids in the production of more accurate field notes. However, they note that Evans encountered an interesting disadvantage from video recording the participants. Evans noted one child who was more "playful" when not in the camera's view. 1. How did the presence of a video recording device alter the children's' behavior? 2. In your opinion, what are some other disadvantages to using video recording as a "blended" observational method? 3. Aside from helping write more accurate field notes, in your opinion, what are some advantages to using this "blended" observational method? Paterson et al.
