Every freakin' internet discussion board you check-out these days seems to have a minimum of 2 MUD cases trying to monopolize the conversation with either every single banality that pops into their boring, schizoid minds, or squabbling and name-calling as they compete for the same space â Chief Nut-job.
What is Ethnographic Research? Anthropologists, ethnographers, and other social scientists may engage in something called ethnography. Ethnography, simply stated, is the study of people in their own environment through the use of methods such as participant observation and face-to-face interviewing.
Ethnographic research is a qualitative method where researchers observe and/or interact with a studyâs participants in their real-life environment. Ethnography was popularised by anthropology, but is used across a wide range of social sciences. Within the field of usability, user-centred design and service design, ethnography is used to support a designerâs deeper understanding of the design problem â including the relevant domain, audience(s), processes, goals and context(s) of use.
