Question

Which of these describes María making an observation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

frequently speak, and of which we

form an inexact or false idea. It

should be sufficient to consider what

occurs in all the sciences that depend

upon observation. The observers in

the various sciences must have a

special preparation. For instance,

one who looks through a microscope

does not see what exists there unless

his eye is prepared. It is not sufficient

to have the instrument and to know

how to focus it. It is also necessary to

have the eye prepared to recognize

the objects. Thus we might say in

this case that a sensorial preparation

is necessary. When Fabre describes his observations of insects, he

really gives us a description of his long and patient preparation for

observation. He also describes the virtues and attributes necessary

to acquire in order to be able to observe. He must forget himself, and

he must be at the service of the insects. He must rise in the morning

at the hour when the insects begin to move. He tells us that he was

very fond of smoking. Yet he puts away his pipe, for fear that the

smell of the smoke might affect their manifestations.

Then, should there not also be a preparation in order to observe

the child? Perhaps the scarcity of observations made upon children

is due to the lack of preparation for such observations.

For this reason, I should like, before you begin your observation, to give you some of the principal and fundamental points that

illustrate what I have just said.

These points, with which I begin, are not in relation to that

which you have to observe, but in relation to the observer himself.

Obviously, those who observe children must not disturb them;

because the purpose of the observation is to see what the children

are doing independent of our presence. The observer should remain

absolutely silent and motionless. You will say that this is extremely

easy to accomplish and that everyone knows how to do that, but

that is not the case. Many times you will be tempted to show your
