Exercise 3
1. Choose
a target group
- relying on your prior
knowledge and personal experience?
- investigate only people
like you?
- choose a key informant or
guide?
2. Early into your
study:
- Discuss any problems in how to participate
yet
also
observe.
- Combine visits and observations with
periods of
withdrawal and
reflection to make sense of your observations.. Avoiding both
‘going
native’ and ‘observer effects’.
3 Keep a
research diary or log, recording
problems and 'threats to validity'
