Documenting interviews
Tape recording and filming
• Allows word for word transcription
• Allows to concentrate on what is said
• May be considered intrusive
• May draw attention away from the interview
Taking notes during interview
• Less accurate• May disturb the flow• Less intrusive• Team: one
interviewer and one note taker
Transcribing tapes and notes
• Is word for word necessary?
• From notes: transcribe as soon as possible
• Describe context of the interview

Sharing and validation
• Can fieldnotes be shared?– Context is needed– Sharing in a team
• Fieldnotes versus empirical descriptions– Context, structure and interpretation
• Validation of data produced by participant observation? – Rich descriptions– Be clear about the context(s) of data production– Be clear about your role and be present in the text

Participant observation• Balancing distance and closeness
– Participating and observing– Paying attention to what is taken for granted– The time aspect
• Interaction data– How people interact gives information about social structures
and values – Enable us to study what cannot be articulated by the informants
• What people say vs. what they do– A gap between what people say and do often points to
something important
![Page 22: Data collection](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56816204550346895dd228ba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The role of the researcher• Producing data together with the informants
– Mutual influence • The researcher’s status and personality influence
– gender, civil status, class, conduct – Dressing
• Which role to take? – Ethics
• Learning from your mistakes• Use informants to discuss interpretations• Participant observation in one’s own culture
– How much is shared? – Active distancing – try to see things with fresh eyes

Writing fieldnotes
Scratch notes• Notes taken ”in action”• Taking a break to take notes• Pen and paper• Recorder/mobile• Cool quickly!
Field notes • Notes ”after action”• Write ”everything” – you never
know what may turn out important
• Remember the context • Remember yourself• Include reflections and
interpretations, but keep them separate from the observations
