Essential Ethnographic Methods: Observations, Interviews, and Questionnaires: 2 (Ethnographer's Toolkit) by Stephen L. Schensul (19-Aug-1999) Paperback

Ethnographer's Toolkit #2

by Stephen L. Schensul

Book Two of the Ethnographer's Toolkit series provides the reader with an introduction to participant and non-participant observation, interviewing, and ethnographically informed survey research, including systematically administered structured interviews and questionnaires. These essential methods are the basic building blocks of data collection, providing researchers with tools to answer key What's happening in this setting?; Who is engaging in what kind of activities?; and Why are they doing what they're doing? The authors describe when and how to use these basic techniques and offer numerous examples of how these methods have worked in community-based research, action research, participant action research and mixed method projects.

[Kate Fischer · Rating 1 out of 5]

this is the worst book ever. read it if you want to hate ethnography and everything associated with it.

[Jasmine · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think this book is a great part of a series for qualitative research methods. The examples provide interesting entertainment while learning ethnographic methods.
