Keywords:

traditional ethnography, video ethnography, microethnography., classroom, AUTOR

Abstract

The article is a theoretical-methodological essay examining ethnography and video ethnography from the perspectives of  AUTOR and AUTOR. They are ethnographers who conduct their research in educational settings using video and microanalysis. AUTOR's talk is included first, with the objectives of reviewing fundamental aspects of ethnographic research in education, briefly describing the history of ethnography, discussing the crisis of confidence in traditional ethnography, and presenting three ethnographic approaches: teacher-researcher, participatory action research, and performative ethnography. AUTOR goes on to expand on the author's arguments and discuss the use of video in ethnography, in an attempt to address the question: how can the use of video in the classroom expand the analytical possibilities of the interactions seen in the school space? How were the video recordings used and what are the limits and possibilities for their use? And, in what way do ethnographic vignettes, based on video images, contribute to signify fieldwork and impact the researcher's reflexivity? Considered pioneers in the use of video images in classroom research, the authors complement each other and challenge the reader to reimagine ethnographies as unfinished projects with the potential to become so in the future, not only boosting school practices, especially in the classroom but also informing and modifying public policies in education.

Author Biography

Frederick Erickson, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLAS)

In the spring of 2011, Frederick Erickson retired from his position as George F. Kneller Chair of Anthropology of Education and Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of California, Los Angeles, which he had occupied since 1999. He is a specialist in using video analysis in interactional sociolinguistics and microethnography. His work has focused especially on timing and rhythm in the social coordination of interaction, on relationships of mutual influence between listening and speaking, and the signaling of multiple social identities in talk. He has also written extensively about qualitative research methods in educational and social research and issues of ethnicity, culture, and language in education.
