Identify the modes of information generation : (i) Observation (ii) Data (iii) Textbooks (iv) Thought process Codes :
(i) and (iv) are correct
Information is generated when a human mind perceives facts and processes them into meaningful, communicable knowledge. The modes of information generation are the activities through which this happens: observation, thought process (reflection, reasoning, intuition) and experimentation.
(i) Observation – systematic perception of phenomena, events or behaviour through the senses or instruments yields new facts; observation is a primary mode of generating information. A mode.
(ii) Data – data are raw, unprocessed facts and figures. They are the raw material (and also the product) of observation and experiment, not a mode or activity of generation in themselves. Not a mode.
(iii) Textbooks – textbooks are tertiary documents that consolidate and repackage already-established knowledge for teaching; they are a type of information source, not a mode of generating new information. Not a mode.
(iv) Thought process – reflection, reasoning, analysis and intuition generate new ideas, concepts and theories from existing knowledge; it is a primary mode of information generation. A mode.
So the modes of information generation here are observation and thought process.
Hence, the answer is (i) and (iv) are correct.
