• What makes accounts ethnographic?
The singularity of Ethnography involves experimental focus as observation of the researcher over a period of time and it can be in direct contact with the group to study. The group of study can be “the description of a small tribal group in some exotic land or a classroom in a middle class suburbia.” (Fetterman, 1989). Ethnography research can take place anywhere there are groups of people. Also, it is common that the ethnographer takes an active role in the daily activities of the community to get involved with understanding the culture. These activities also allow you to ask for explanations about the actions and behaviors of each of the group studied. It is very important for the researcher to keep an …show more content…
Use examples from student ethnographies from the literature.
I find interesting the chronology of the presentation of the ethnographic research done and how it has been structured to this point. The importance that carries the ethnographical studies was fractured from the lack of value, although, it has a strong methodological and theoretical approach from the beginning of the studies, the essential and practical characteristics of the analysis can help teachers and students achieve their goals in the classroom from a cultural perspective.
Another interesting part is the poor perspectives of scientist who do not validate a different path taken by ethnographer that is not guided by the scientific method. For example, “the term ‘ethnography’ is not listed in the index of Education and Culture: Anthropology Approaches (1963). In the over view of the article by George Spindler, the Anthropologist is not describe as an ethnographer but rather as a consultant, as a research whose greater contribution is the holistic approach to research an analysis, and as a teacher making-making explicit the culture assumption of educators.
