Abstract
This article describes a computer-based system, the Direct Observation Data System ( DODS). DODS allows for unobtrusive collection of direct observational data in the classroom and in natural settings. At present the DODS consists of an event recording and duration recording program. The DODS supports the use of a remote recording device for the collection of direct observational data. The remote recording device allows the user to: (1) collect direct observational data while continuing to teach and monitor student progress; (2) collect direct observational data in settings other than where the computer is located; and (3) collect direct observational data in natural settings (e.g., lunchroom, playground, community, home, etc.). The DODS is currently undergoing field testing. Implications for use of the DODS and other computer-based data collection systems under development are discussed.
