CORRECT SOLUTIONS
◉Participatory action research . Answer: Involving local people in the
applied research process is known as participatory action research. / A
mode of research in which the anthropologist and the community work
together to understand the conditions that produce the community's
problems and find solutions to those problems.
◉Why do anthropologists choose primarily to use the ethnographic
approach? . Answer: 1. The ethnographic approach takes a holistic view.
By studying all aspects of a culture, even while focusing on a particular
issue, anthropologists are able to place issues in context.
2. The ethnographic approach depends on first-hand, experimental
methods, which include face-to-face interactions with people within the
culture. This provides a deeper understanding of issues than can be
acquired by other methods or from an external perspective.
◉Qualitative data（定性數據） . Answer: To get a better handle on a
particular culture, an anthropologist begins by listening to stories and
other kinds of talk that give insight into the community. They are data
gathered from personal interviews, oral histories, observations, and
interactions with community members. These data are important to the
, research process and may be logged in anthropologists' field notes or
digitally recorded and transcribed for later text analyses.
◉Field notes . Answer: The daily descriptive notes recorded by an
anthropologist during or after an observation of a specific phenomenon
or activity
◉Quantitative data（數量數據） . Answer: They are numerical data
such as population trends, morbidity and mortality rates, household and
community size, annual income, education levels, and any other data
that can be counted. Quantitative data are used to conduct statistical
analyses and are good for comparing groups for following trends, and
for telling us how many.
For example, quantitative data can tell us whether men's attitudes to say
marriage differ from women's, or how many women of childbearing age
have children under five years of age who are malnourished.
What quantitative methods are poor at, however, is answering the
question why (e.g. Why do men's attitudes differ from women's?).
◉OCAP principles . Answer: Principles of ownership, control, access,
and possession that ensure First Nation communities actively participate
in ethnographic research.
