Abstract: The purpose of this review article is to address non-participant observation as a research technique, considering its characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. In addition, it seeks to offer a description of two variants of this methodology, as well as to provide recommendations for its design. The methodology employed in this text is framed within the parameters of the interpretive paradigm and uses the hermeneutic method to understand and interpret the arguments proposed by authors such as Weber (1997), Mejía (2002), Fernández (2009), Díaz (2011), Campos and Lule (2012), Rekalde et al (2014), Martínez-Cansola (2020), Martínez et al (2022), Rodríguez (2024), among others. These researchers contribute to a greater understanding of the use of non-participant observation as a valuable tool in the field of scientific research, highlighting its applicability and the contexts in which it can be most effective. Through this analysis, it is hoped that readers will gain a more complete picture of the use of this technique in their own research. DOI: https://doi.org/10.52783/pst.988
