Event recording involves counting the number of times a specific behavior occurs. In this case, the behavior of interest is the number of skill attempts made by the selected student in a class period, so event recording would be the best option. Group time sampling, checklist, and interval recording would not be as effective for measuring the frequency of individual skill attempts. Note-taking could also work, but it may not be as precise as event recording.
