described, and may employ structured and non-structured interviews. However the technique with the most advantages is direct observation. For Rockwell (1994), ethnographic research is basic field research where the researcher keeps a link with the participants (actors) involved in the study. It is necessary that the researcher during their stay becomes involved and familiarized with the practices undertaken by the participants while analysing and interpreting the information. Rockwell also mentions that the field research is not separate from the information analysis and its interpretation. From this perspective, ethnography is a methodology that does not judge the actions of the actors but tries to understand them. Although Paradise (1994, p. 75) thinks that in the development of the educational ethnography, the most transcendental aspect is the construction of knowledge beginning with the life experiences of the study group, and Paradise also mentions that some researchers choose an ethnographic approach precisely because of the interpretative and holistic perspective that directs the field research and the kind of descriptions that emerge without adhering to one theory or a single analytical procedure in particular. This shows that the ethnographic research is both a simple technique, and a process of construction that can be used as a field methodology. This research project has been divided into several sections that relate to progressive semesters of teaching and development of the concepts and ideas provided to the students. Each one of these sections has a unique research design by using different methods thus looking for answers that contribute to the search of results. The methodology used in each period will allow observation the development of the subject and the particular format methods are used in teaching.
