1 Introduction to Educational Research (4th ed.) C. M. Charles/Craig A. Mertler Chapter 10 Ethnographic Research

2 The Nature of Ethnographic Research Research process used in the study of human interactions in social settings A highly descriptive, holistic approach to research Topics must involve people in groups May last from a week to several years Excellent at constructing a VERY detailed picture of human life and interactions

3 Purpose — to describe/explain segment of group social life as it pertains to education Hypotheses/questions — begin as broad statements; emerge more specifically as data are collected Data — qualitative; verbal descriptions of people, interactions, settings, etc. within the specific context Data sources — people, settings, etc. A Summary Description of Ethnographic Research

4 A Summary Description of Ethnographic Research (cont’d.) Data collection — done by researcher, through observations and interviews (naturalistic observation) Data analysis — presentation of verbal descriptions through logical analysis in an attempt to discover themes/ patterns that exist in a particular context

5 Strengths and Weaknesses of Ethnographic Research Strengths: »Its holistic nature (as opposed to a “snapshot study”) Weaknesses: »A single observer calls into question the reliability of the data (and therefore, the validity of the results) »Must determine if biases exist…if observations are accurate
