B. Ethnographic fieldnotes
Due Week 10 (November 6).Ethnographic Fieldnotes
Visit a Computer Science learning environment (broadly understood), jot fieldnotes, and process them into observations and interpretations of the Computer Science learning which took place. Rather than writing these up as a formal report, please submit your (cleaned-up) fieldnotes in a format which distinguishes between observations and interpretations. Additionally, prepare a five-minute slide presentation sharing several interpretive findings along with the observations they were based on. Sketches and photos are great to include if possible.
Assessment criteria
- Observations. Clear, detailed observations which "get close" to the activities being observed.
- Interpretation. Your assumptions, questions, responses, and reactions to observations, informed by ideas from the course and aware of how your positionality affects your experience.
