The methodology is based on a transversal designed. The results showed the instrument as valid. The data were analyzed by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient and analysis of variance, obtaining high significance. Finally, the items of an observation record and other research were connected to demonstrate consistency. In addition, there are a series of advices for using the observation record in practice, as well as suggestion for line of research in the future.
