Ethnography and Field Based Research in Education

Ethnography and Field Based Research in Education, 1st Edition, provides a clear methodological framework for conducting qualitative field studies in educational environments. Authored by Harpreet Kaur Jass, this book delivers practical research guidance tailored for students, academic researchers, and educationalists seeking systematic approaches to field inquiry.

The volume examines ethnography across three essential research capacities: as an assistive tool for data collection, as an independent qualitative method, and as an overarching research design. Throughout these analytical sections, the text explores the direct interlinkages between education and ethnographic practice, placing specific focus on the Indian educational context.

As a defining feature, the text offers specialized methods to analyze and write ethnographic data gathered in field settings. These analytical techniques provide practical support for education professionals, policymakers, and instructors within teacher education institutions who conduct qualitative educational research.
