🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:26 📚 This video discusses non-structured qualitative observation as a technique in the qualitative research paradigm. 01:08 📝 Non-structured observation doesn't have predefined categories. Instead, it's a holistic, general observation method where everything is observed without pre-set boundaries. 02:32 🧐 There are guidelines suggesting that initial observations should pay attention to who is present, what they're doing, any repetitive behaviors, and more. 05:15 🧠 The aim of initial non-structured observations is to interrogate and understand the context and to answer the basic questions: who, what, when, where, how, and why. 06:25 🌱 Categories in non-structured observation aren't predefined, but as one observes, provisional "in situ" categories develop over time. These provisional categories can be refined or changed as observations continue. 08:30 🌍 An example of progressive focus is given: starting with a wide observation, then narrowing focus to specific areas or subjects of interest. 09:13 📖 For recording observations, various instruments can be used. One commonly used method is a field diary, which is a private tool for the researcher. 10:52 📓 An example of how to structure a field diary is given, with one wider column for observations and a narrower one for the researcher's personal notes, doubts, and potential categories. 12:32 🔄 The researcher in the field is guided by flexibility, allowing them to move freely between scenarios, based on what is being collected and observed. 13:43 🚀 For beginners, practicing under the guidance of an experienced researcher is recommended to refine observation skills. 13:58 🖊️ When taking field notes, it's crucial to be descriptive, capturing what is directly seen and heard without personal interpretation. 14:26 📊 When conducting qualitative observation, it's essential to cross-reference and triangulate different data sources, including dialogues, documents, and even photographs with consent. 14:54 🎙️ Use direct quotes that represent participants' own words and terminology, even if they use terms incorrectly. Maintain accuracy in recording. 15:40 🚶‍♂️ Depending on your research objectives, choose between active participant observation, where you immerse yourself in the experience, or passive non-structured observation, where you only observe without active involvement. 16:22 📝 Differentiate between the description of events in the field and your interpretation or judgment. Use a field journal to keep these distinctions clear. 17:30 🗣️ Familiarize yourself with the language variations, vocabulary, expressions, and jargon used by participants to understand their communication effectively. 17:43 📜 Collect stories, anecdotes, and myths within the institution, as they provide context and reveal hidden ideologies influencing the institution's operation. 18:26 🕵️‍♀️ Outline the process of qualitative observation, including negotiating access, obtaining informed consent, conducting field visits, and establishing rapport with participants. 20:03 📚 After several observation sessions, construct provisional categories and proceed to the second phase of data collection. 22:09 🗂️ Utilize provisional categories to develop semi-structured instruments such as interview guides or focus group moderation guides. 23:17 🧐 Implement sampling techniques, such as typical case sampling or theoretical sampling, to focus on specific situations, subjects, or events of interest. 25:11 🧩 After data collection, construct the categorical structure of your research, examining relationships between categories, subcategories, dimensions, and potential meta-categories. 26:19 🌐 Explore theoretical triangulation by connecting your findings to existing theories, frameworks, or historical and political contexts. 27:15 🧐 Qualitative observation is a powerful method for gaining deep insights into a research topic, offering rich data that can inform your understanding of the subject matter.- 14:26 📌 It's important to cross-reference or triangulate the different data collected. Dialogues, documents, and photos can be used if permission is granted. 14:54 📝 Record dialogues as they are, even if participants use terminology incorrectly. Recognize that key informants might have biased information. 15:25 🕵️ For a thorough experience, immerse yourself in what's being studied. For students, passive observation is recommended to avoid complications. 16:07 📔 The field diary format helps separate observed events from personal interpretations. Emotions and feelings are also part of the field data. 17:18 🗣 Understand the language, vocabulary, and slang used by participants. Collect stories and anecdotes to understand the underlying ideology of institutions. 18:38 🚪 Before starting observations, negotiate access to the study field. This usually requires authority permissions and informed consent. 19:35 🏢 Familiarize yourself with the institution by freely roaming and understanding the context. This helps in building trust with the participants. 21:15 🔄 After initial observations, analyze the information and construct provisional categories. This cycle repeats until the data is saturated. 22:37 🎯 Based on established categories, devise focused observation strategies targeting specific subjects or events. 24:27 🧠 The process continues until theoretical saturation is achieved, indicating when new observations no longer bring novel insights. 25:51 💡 After categorizing, determine how these categories interrelate, representing them graphically to understand their relationships better. 26:19 📘 Relate your findings to established theories, drawing connections to broader contexts and frameworks. 27:15 🌍 Observation offers deep insights into reality. Different techniques can be used, but observation provides the most comprehensive information. Made with HARPA AI

los instrumentos de observación no estructurados también deben ser validados?

[@rubenmiguez4683]

Una pregunta cual seria la importancia de la observacion no estructurada

[@asesoriasdeinvestigacionar5609]

Es la que permite conservar el espíritu metodológico de la investigación cualitativa ya que posibilita el acercamiento inductivo y holístico al trabajo de campo.
