Participant observation when you are not only observing, but you also participate. For example, if you are not only observing how the nurse is taking care of a patient, but you are working at the hospital as a doctor, so that you may participate in observation, like help her, ask her questions while she's doing her job. In your case, if you are just a researcher, and you observe from the side, you do not work at this place, I think you are non-participant observant. I had a participant observation case with the group of immigrants, but when I observed a group, I also participated in their meetings, and was helping them with marketing materials, and interviewing them.
