Fieldwork (disambiguation) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Field work or Fieldwork may refer to: Topics referred to by the same term. Fieldnotes. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Notes recorded by researchers in the course of field research Fieldnotes refer to qualitative notes recorded by scientists or researchers in the course of field research, during or after their observation of a specific organism or phenomenon they are studying.
The notes are intended to be read as evidence that gives meaning and aids in the understanding of the phenomenon. Fieldnotes allow researchers to access the subject and record what they observe in an unobtrusive manner. One major disadvantage of taking fieldnotes is that they are recorded by an observer and are thus subject to (a) memory and (b) possibly, the conscious or unconscious bias of the observer.[1] It is best to record fieldnotes while making observations in the field or immediately after leaving the site to avoid forgetting important details.
Structure[edit] The structure of fieldnotes can vary depending on the field. Descriptive information is factual data that is being recorded.
