Field Work: Key to Qualitative Research
Keywords:
Going into the field, qualitative research, steps taken, adolescent, pregnancy. (Source, DeCs, BIREME).Abstract
Objective: Highlight the experience of going into the field, not only as a way to gather information and to determine the quality of the data on which findings, analysis and conclusions are based, but also as an integrating element of the research process that allows for a more specific interpretation of reality. Method: Experiences of Pregnant Teens in the Kennedy District of Bogota: Wanting to Become Pregnant But Not so Soon describes the qualitative study and the background for the research, in addition outlining the stages that involved field work. Conclusion: As a method, going into the field implies more than access to data. It demands dialectic action between theory and practice, as field work requires theoretical-methodological training and preparation, besides being based on a variety of research techniques and tools.
