Reply:Is observation your preferred (and best) method of research?





In order to remain objective it would be best if you had permission to use a video camera - you would then be able to take time to do your analysis on the actual events taking place rather than having to rely on memory or notes taken at the time.


A tape recorder is ok - ish, but a video would definitely be better as you would have a permanent record of what was taking place. You would then be able to transcript any dialogue taking place.


You didn't say what your field of research was, if it involves children - for teacher training etc - then you probably have an enhanced CRB, but you would still require permission because of ethical considerations.





You might be better off doing a combination of observation and interviewing. This has the advantage of giving you a two-pronged approach and the ability to compare what people say with what they actually do. However get some help from your tutor - it's what they get paid for, they've been through the process themselves and know the advantages and drawbacks of all types of research methodology. Good luck!
