ETHNOGRAPHIC PRACTICE
OBSERVATION
EMPATHY AND RAPPORT PROCESSES: Establishing rapport with informants is the goal of every field researcher. When you begin to achieve rapport with those who are being studied, you experience feelings of fulfillment and encouragement.
INITIAL AND GENERAL: Carrying out an investigation requires an adequate mental and psychological attitude. Research is an inquiry, a search for new knowledge and a new understanding.
DETERMINATION OF ELEMENTS: The main requirements of observation are naturally a watchful eye, a fine ear and a good memory. Films, recordings and photography are sometimes known to aid memory.
FLY ON THE WALL TECHNIQUES: The researcher is, theoretically, oblivious to these processes, and adopts the "fly on the wall" technique to observe things as they happen, naturally, with the least possible interference from their presence.
INTERVIEW
CASUAL NOT STRUCTURED: This is often the only way to discover what different people's visions are and to collect information about certain events or problems.
FIRST SURVEY: In our research, we confront the stories of our informants with other knowledgeable people and with our own observations and experiences.
DIRECT QUESTIONNAIRE: As a means of collecting information, especially as an adequate means of collecting data from our broader ones than can be obtained by personal interviews
CATEGORIZATION AND SECOND SURVEY: The investigator is responsible for establishing cross-checks on the informants' stories. You must examine the coherence of the sayings in the different accounts of the same events or experiences
APPLICATION IN THE FIELD
ANALYSIS LOG: For all practical purposes, an unlimited number of official and public documents, records and materials are available as data sources
INSTITUTIONAL DIMENSIONS: Admission is a common problem in ethnography and, consequently, the respective literature presents voluminous and valuable recommendations to researchers trying to get into an institution, on how to dress
SPECIFIC SUBJECTS: Persons should be carefully described in the notes. Each person transmits important things about himself and assumes assumptions with respect to others on the basis of dress, hair, jewelry, accessories, behavior and general appearance.
INITIAL REPORTS: Initial and ad hoc reflection is more typically speculative and less well-formed. Clarification and extension of the data through a key report, which points to a basic comparison
CATEGORY CONSTRUCTION
PARALLEL READINGS: The researcher will have to do some preliminary reading in order to get an insight into the field or the approaches that have been taken, and will have to take into account late work throughout the research.
RUDIMENTAL IMPIRICS: At this stage there may be no concept formation, import or theory discoveries, creation of new thoughts.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS: The main emphasis has been placed on the discovery rather than on the verification of theories, but this does not include that the analysis be guided by data collection or guide said collection.
INITIAL VISIONS OF THE SOLUTION: The first step towards solving a research problem is to consider these problems as part of the research and document and analyze them
