Qualitative fieldwork
Traditionally school fieldwork has often been skewed towards a quantitative approach, that is one which relies heavily on numerical data evidence to draw conclusions and to test hypotheses. Qualitative approaches represent a way to achieve a different kind of understanding, one that appeals to students who find satisfaction in the recognition of what is going on at a more personal level.
