Práctica etnográfica
Observation
Field notes are, basically, notes made during the day to refresh the memory about what has been seen and what is desired to be recorded.
Establishing rapport with informants is the goal of every field researcher. Rapport and trust appear slowly in field research.
The main requirements of observation are naturally a keen eye, a fine ear, and a good memory.
To carry out an ethnographic practice, it is necessary to identify the problem, the issue or the topic to be studied
Non-participant observation has become the most common in educational research. In this case, the researcher only plays the role of researcher and observes situations of interest..
Interview
The researcher has the responsibility of establishing cross-checks on the informants' stories to avoid possible exaggerations and distortions.
Questionnaires are not popular with ethnographers. However, the responses to the questionnaires can sometimes contain subtle details to the extent that their use conforms to their principles.
One of the keys to the successful interview is knowing when and how to probe, explore, scrutinize.
The research work is based mainly on interviews. Interviews should be used in conjunction with other methods.
Application in the field
Initial judgments must be made about the recorded data, which highlights another virtue of this practice.
For all practical purposes, there are an unlimited number of official and public documents, records and materials available as data sources.
A detailed description of the setting and the position of the people within it provides important insights into the nature of the participants' activities.
Category construction
The world that is investigated according to a data collection method is greatly distorted due to the limitations of that data and the available method of analysis.
The researcher will have to do some preliminary reading in order to get a glimpse of the field or the approaches that have been made.
Data can be classified according to these categories, the nature of which will depend on the type of study and the interests at stake.
