Research & Analysis

Field research

Direct observation --> Record and watch participants. (Ways and means of

recording data determines the data set recorded). Try to give

a parameter and remain as an observer and not a participant.

Check your bias

Participant Observation --> Specifically looking at stackholder and seeing what they

do. Supporting one another. Objectivity. Having multiple

dataset leads to less bias. We may not know the

operational and communication system and we will learn

this from participants

Qualitative Interview --> Allow for comparitve. Types: Informal. Semi-formal &

Standardise/open ending
