We all observe people, interactions and events in everyday life;

however, your job when writing a field report is more structured.When writing a field report you need to:

systematically observe and accurately record in detail thevarying aspects of a situation;

constantly analyze your observation for meaning (i.e. what'sgoing on here?, what does this mean?, what else does this relate

to?)

keep the reports aims in mind while you are observing;

consciously observe, record and analyze what you hear and see in

the context of a theoretical framework/s

Information that is not essential to explain your findings, but that supports

your analysis (especially repetitive or lengthy information), validates your

conclusions or pursues a related point should be placed in an appendix

(plural appendices). Sometimes excerpts from this supporting information(i.e. part of the data set) will be placed in the body of the report but the

complete set of information ( i.e. all of the data set) will be included in the

appendix. Examples of information that could be included in an appendix

include figures/tables/charts/graphs of results, statistics, questionnaires,

transcripts of interviews, pictures, maps, drawings, letters, specification or

data sheets
