METHOD

Observation of Context

Investigate your working context as a silent observer to understand actions and dynamics

DESCRIPTION

A tool to support the understanding of the context and to take notes on its actors and interplay: how people react, what they do and what they say. It allows to get a perspective on what is happening, what’s going on in a specific environment.

TIPS

The tool works as a guide for an individual researcher or a group of researchers. For getting a complete picture, it is recommended to conduct more observations, since various perspectives, behaviours, attitudes may emerge through time.
