Video Field Notes Guide
Intro: Field notes are taken during an observational event to record and remember behaviors, activities, and events. They are also used to record and distinguish the researcher’s experience and interpretation of those events.
Field notes general consist of 4 parts:
1. Some record-keeping notes (e.g., date, time, etc.)
2. Descriptive information: where you attempt to accurately record the “facts” of the situation
3. The meaning/reflection of what you observed
4. Reflexive notes - How did this affect you? What personal moment did this bring up? How did it alter or inform you?
