Cultural Anthropology: Observation project
Observing behavior of pre school children in the kindergarten.
Date, time, and location of observation.
Short statement of what was being observed.
Detailed description of location/site of observation.
Chronological, detailed description of everything that happened during the observation.
What questions do you have about what you observed? What additional research would you consider doing to answer these questions? What else could you observe to further understand the people or activity you observed?
From this exercise, what have you learned about participant observation specifically and about anthropological field research in general?
