Momentary Time Sampling Observation Form
The observer records whether a behavior did or did not occur at the end of the interval. Momentary Time Sampling is an ideal observation method for a variety of behaviors where it is difficult to tell exactly when the behavior begins or when it ends, and behaviors that occur at such a high rate that it is difficult to keep a count. It is commonly used to track on-task vs. off-task behavior.
Systematic Observation Rating Form
