Ethnographic Research
Interview Types
Initial Interview The main personal attributes required in interviews are the same as in other aspects of research; and they always revolve around trust, curiosity and naturalness.
Open Interview The place where the interview takes place, how it is graded, the relationships that exist between the people involved and all the forms that it takes, are so many decisive problems.
Semi-structured interview The interviewees can look for another type of contract. If that is a path to the acquisition of valuable information, the contract is worthwhile, although there is always the possibility of continuing the negotiation to ensure optimal results for the investigation.
Structured Interviews What we actually do during interviews follows from the principles we have discussed. At the beginning, it is necessary to establish contact and make people feel comfortable.
Observation Types
General Observation The results of scientific research, whatever its branch of knowledge, must be presented in an absolutely clean and sincere way. Nobody would dare to present an experimental contribution in the field of physics or chemistry without specifying in detail all the conditions of the experiment.

Participant Observation The most important method of ethnography is that of participant observation, which in practice tends to be a combination of methods, or rather a style of research.
Field Identification
Intervening Dimensions Field notes should include not only descriptions of what occurs in a setting, but also a record of the researcher's feelings, interpretations, intuitions, preconceptions, and future areas of inquiry.
Spaces and Subjects A detailed description of the setting and the position of the people within it provides important insights into the nature of the activities
Formal Analysis Perhaps the tentative reflection, which takes place from the collection of data, the one that produces the most important apprehensions; can vary in degree of complexity. Some researchers record comments in the margin of the transcript of their discussions with students and include them in the final report. This helps to connect the discussion with the main analysis.
