Ethnographic study

The presence of the ethnographic team in the classroom was yet another factor. The students were distracted by new faces, new behaviours, still and video cameras, the unusual questions and the behavior of the research team. This was accepted as part of the ethnographic process. Once again, phase I provided an opportunity for the students and ethnographers to develop a normalized relationship.
