What is the first step in the observation process?

  1. Reporting

  2. Recording

  3. Analyzing

  4. Noticing

The correct answer is: Noticing

The first step in the observation process is noticing. When we observe something, we start by simply seeing or perceiving it without making any judgments or interpretations. This is the initial step in gathering information and data that can then be used for reporting, recording, and analyzing. Reporting (choice A) and recording (choice B) are both steps that come after noticing, as they involve documenting and summarizing what has been observed. Analyzing (choice C) is also a later step that involves interpreting and making sense of the information that has been observed and recorded.
