RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tape recorders, cameras, and note pads are some of the most commonly used tools for ethnographic research. Recording interviews with key informants is more preferable than taking notes; by listening to recordings over and over you will discover important details that you might otherwise miss if you simply take notes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Researchers conducting an ethnographic study spend time with the participants, have an up-close experience with them to gain insights into their social interactions, and collect data through participant observation, face-to-face interviews, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ethnography methods include direct observation, diary studies, video recordings, photography and artefact analysis such as devices that a person uses throughout the day. Observations can be made anywhere from the user’s workplace, their home or while they are out with family and friends.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hallmark method of ethnographic field research in anthropology is known as participant-observation. This type of data-gathering is when the anthropologist records their experiences and observations while taking part in activities alongside local participants or informants in the field site.
