Ethnography is a qualitative research method that involves observing and describing a culture or community through participation and interaction. It aims to understand human behavior in its natural context without control. Some key characteristics of ethnography include studying behavior as it naturally occurs, relying on description over statistics, gaining trust and cooperation from participants, and allowing research questions and plans to evolve based on fieldwork findings. Ethnography is useful for understanding complexity in human phenomena and detecting cultural, social and economic differences between schools. It provides a sociological analysis of education from the perspectives of participants rather than experts alone.
Ethnographic research is one of the many crucial research methodologies in educational research. This well-researched ppt gives a clear picture of the what, how, and why of the research design.

Ethnography is a Social science research method. It is the primary data collection method. It is mainly combined with social background. A qualitative approach that studies the cultural patterns and perspectives of participants in their natural setting.
Ethnography came from Greek, it identifies its roots in sociology and anthropology.

“Ethnography literally means ‘a portrait of a people’. Ethnography is a written description of a particular culture, the custom, belief and behaviour based on information collected through field work.” (Harris and Johnson 2000).
Narrative research is a term that subsumes a group of approaches that in turn rely on the written or spoken words or visual representation of individuals. These approaches typically focus on the lives of individuals as told through their own stories. The emphasis in such approaches is on the story, typically both what and how is narrated.
Narrative research can be considered both a research method in itself but also the phenomenon under study.
Case study is a strategy for doing research which involves an empirical investigation of a particular contemporary phenomenon with its real life context using multiple sources of evidence.”

Qualitative research design in research in educationRashna Asif
This presentation all about the qualitative research design its approaches features characteristics analysis and also data collection tools in this presentation approaches are very deeply discussed.
The one of the major approaches of the Qualitative Research is Ethnography, sometimes known as Cultural Anthropology or sometimes called as Naturalistic Enquiry. Its disciplinary origin is Anthropology. Ethnography deals with the discovery and description of culture of a group or group of individual. As the concept of culture is the central theme of Ethnography Research; that’s why the question raised from this point of view is that what the Cultural characteristics of a group of individuals are? Here Culture means the system of norms and standards that a society develops over the courses of many generations. Ethnography research helps to search very complicated or complex deign challenges. A tremendous and effective researcher is needed when he or she is viewing or observing or interacting with target population in their real-life situation. Ethnography Research is a one of the most important qualitative research where researcher observe or interact with the target population and researcher plays an important role to obtain useful cultural information that’s why Ethnography research is known as cultural ethnography or cultural anthropology. This kind of research is a part of social science research. We know there are several forms of Ethnography research. As for example, confessional Ethnography research, life history Ethnography research, feminist Ethnography research, realist Ethnography research, critical Ethnography research etc. Out of the several form of Ethnography research, the two most common and popular form of Ethnography research are “Realist Ethnography Research” and “Critical Ethnography Research”. The “Realist EthnographyResearch” is sometimes known as traditional Ethnography research whereas the critical Ethnography research is concerned with those group or group of individuals who are marginalized in society. The toughest activity of Ethnography research is the researcher should play as a member of the target population and spent several months even if several years with target population or group. Therefore, Ethnography researches not only a qualitative research but also it is a longitudinal research.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

5. Introduction
• Ethnography is a branch of the qualitative research.
• The names of this branch may varied: sometimes it is called
ethnographic research, sometimes Qualitative Research, Action
Research, Field Work, Naturalistic research, interpretative research.
6. The concept of Ethnographic Approach
• Ethnographic approach is a method or tool used to understand
the techniques and methods of group of people or a community
in everyday life, by examining the:
• knowledge of its members, ideas, beliefs, values and behaviors,
and what they do - things- and how they deal with it,
• and this is done by a participant observation in the normal
situation of their life, from the researcher point of view. (Ogbu,
1996: 33).

Ethnography
8. Characteristics of Ethnography Method
• 1- Ethnography research studies the behavior in its normal
situation, or, as it happens in nature:
• like when an ethnography researcher studies the behavior of
students inside the classroom or school, with a deep belief in the
importance of understanding the behavior in its natural-actual
contexts free from any control or restraint, and for more
substantiation the researcher will try to repeat his observation
and participant observation.
9. Characteristics of Ethnography Method
• 2- Ethnographic approach depends on the description and analysis,
using the keyword phrase instead of numbers and tables of statistics.
• And its importance is concentrated in providing us an intense
description of the phenomenon under study.
• As Miles and Huberman notes, ethnographic research seeks to reveal
the "unexpected" or "hidden" or "untold story", through the study of
the educational phenomenon, depending on the deep participation of
the researcher about the community under examination, and because
of that the researcher is a key tool in the collecting, classifying and
analyzing the information ((Miles & Huberman, 1999: 15.
10. Characteristics of Ethnography Method
• 3- Ethnographic research depends on the concept of involvement of
beneficiaries and show their point of view in a holistic and effective
way :
• so it is not that the course of research and questions are derived from
the vision of a researcher and the cultural and intellectual background
of him, but on the contrary, it is expected from the ethnographic
researcher to com to a field of study with cultural knowledge and an
opened mentality to focus on his mission in experiencing the
integrated society (through participant observation) and in looking
and transporting and describing what he sees and hears through the
recorded observations, opinions and ideas, proposals and visions from
within the field of study (school or class, or library ... etc)
11. Characteristics of Ethnography Method
• 4- Ethnography of education researches require specific data
collection mechanisms; like writing the daily views in the
classroom, or outside, as well as interviews with students,
teachers, administrators, parents, and analyzing documents and
diaries relevant.
• This type of research requires a long time, it may take -in an
ethnographic research- a period of time between one to 3 years.
12. Characteristics of Ethnography Method
• 5- Gathering and analyzing data in an ethnographic method work
differently than in traditional research.
• Often it passes through four overlapping phases and are separated from
each other in a complementary way:
• where the information are collected in the first phase, and then it will be
organized and classified in the second stage, and then we have the stage
which the information will be presented shortened and in the form of
matrices and centrality of ideas, and the final stage related to the process of
drawing conclusions, and showing it, and make sure that they are
conformed.
14. Characteristics of Ethnography Method
• 5- Within the flexible framework offered by the ethnographic study ,
researcher has the possibility of changing the plan of his study, design
and even change its questions at the discretion during the field work, as
perhaps through cohabitation he may compose a new or different
research questions deemed more important than it has when he entered
the field of study.
15. Characteristics of Ethnography Method
• 6- If an ethnographer wants to achieve his objectives
which are: underlying factors behind the social and
educational behavior, and to know it goals and objectives,
it is necessary that he depends on the social relationship
with the respondents
• and he must obtain the ability to gain their trust and
their cooperation by using tools less formal like
participant observation, and cohabitation, and integration
with the life of the studied groups.
16. Characteristics of Ethnography Method
• 8- Ethnographic research depends on researcher as a key tool in
collecting information,
• where the researcher looks at the behaviors and social practices a
holistic view within the frameworks:
• of social, cultural, economic, political and regulatory dimensions,
• and he depends -to achieve all of that- on a number of tools like:
deep interview and participant observation, analysis of
documents, folders, and the study of the physical effects and
biographies (Angrosino, 2008: 66).
18. Goals of Ethnography Method
1.It aims to understand human behavior without intentional or
unintentional control.
2.It occurs in natural situations, studying behavior in its natural context.
3.Based on a single case study of a small group or a particular community.
4. Based on direct observation of the researcher.
5. Testing what actually happens without relying on preconceived
notions.
6.Depends on an intensive data collection that let the researcher extends
the period of the study.

1. Positivism school has hid the quantitative concepts (research
participation) and lived experience of the beneficiaries in a bid
illusory for objectivity and access to general rules which can
be generalized.
2. In this context, comparative studies have demonstrated the complexity of
the humanitarian and educational phenomenon, and the effect and
influence of individual and cultural background and data environment in
which individuals experience arises, which makes the process of
generalization of findings in human phenomena extremely complex.
20. پرورش و آموزش زمینه در نگاری قوم روش از استفاده مزایای
2. Ethnographic approach may be useful to dissect
school knowledge including basic sources like
curriculum, textbooks and teacher –in which they
are an Epistemological authority- and analyze this
knowledge ethnographically through cognitive,
ideological and social analysis of their sources, and
the extent of its importance and its approval to the
needs of students and society.
21. پرورش و آموزش زمینه در نگاری قوم روش از استفاده مزایای
• 3- The cultural, social, economical and technological disparities
between schools which can not be ignored at the moment,
makes ethnographic approach an important way to detect these
differences and learn the educational and social effects on the
educational process.
• In this context, we can -across ethnographic- approach to
achieve these differences through visions, concepts and
meanings carried by the practitioners in the field of education
and their vision towards reforming the educational reality and
scalability.
22. پرورش و آموزش زمینه در نگاری قوم روش از استفاده مزایای
• 4- The importance of Ethnographic approach is that the
ethnographer in the educational field will offer us an critical
sociological analysis to the reality of school, not from the
standpoint of "experts" and the makers of educational policies,
but rather a realistic analysis from inner and from the educational
reality across participants and actual practitioners in the
educational process, including the student, the teacher and
parents..etc
23. پرورش و آموزش زمینه در نگاری قوم روش از استفاده مزایای
• 5- Ethnographic research enables us to have a deep understand to the different
practices that occur within the walls of the school and how the school transfers
of this culture, through the so-called school culture.
• This ability to have an exact description and deep details, makes using the
ethnographic research in the field of education absolutely necessary, there are a
lot of educational issues -_ especially that which is related to culture and society-
that can not be understood or studied only using ethnographical approach.
(Creswel, 2007: 280).
• Even the curriculum, Instructional Design, Educational technology, may be the
subject of a holistic ethnographical study!
24. Questions and goals
1. How and where do people learn?
2. What kind of deliberate learning/teaching takes
place outside of schools?
3. Why are there schools, and how is schooling
culturally organized?
4. Why do school experiences tend to vary by
“race,” “social class”, “political order” and
“gender”?
5. What insights does anthropology bring to
practical problems of learning and teaching in
schools?
25. Goals
1.understand the place of schooling within the broader
phenomenon of education/learning through history
and across cultures.
2.be able to analyze the organization and functions of
schooling–and of particular schools and classrooms–in
your own society.
3.be able to make a sophisticated and well-supported
contribution to the public debate about race, social
class, gender and multiculturalism in schools.
26. Right question!
•Schools (and who says schools, says classes,
playgrounds..etc) are cultural communities. Through the
interaction among its members, they also set, like the tribes
in a symbolic way, rules of social coexistence, beliefs and
values, hierarchies and customs. These environments are
socially constructed. And their participants struggle for the
construction of their own identities. Is it possible, or at least
ethical, for the curriculum to ignore and neglect this reality?
