Question 10

A museum curator suspects that visitors' engagement with a newly designed interactive history gallery varies significantly. Some visitors spend substantial time reading traditional printed text panels, others focus entirely on the digital touchscreens, while some walk straight through the room or scroll on their mobile phones.

Design an observational study to investigate how visitors spend their time in this museum gallery.

In your answer you will be awarded credit for providing appropriate details of:

  • type of observation with justification
  • operationalised behavioural categories
  • use of time and/or event sampling with justification
  • how reliability of data collection could be assessed.
