Abstract

Agricultural studies mainly rely on quantitative research approaches. Despite growing interest in and uptake of qualitative, participatory, and visual methods due to their perceived advantages in gathering in-depth information and empowering participants, visual–digital research methods have yet to be largely applied. In our study on adaptation strategies to climate change among smallholder farmers in Uganda we compared different data collection methods, including: semi-structured interviews with manual note-taking, participatory impact diagrams, and adapted photovoice and cellphilm methodologies.

进入数字研究时代：视觉数字工具在农业研究中的有效性研究

农业研究主要依靠定量研究方法。尽管人们对定性、参与性和视觉方法越来越感兴趣，并对其进行了吸收，因为它们在收集深入信息和增强参与者能力方面具有明显优势，但视觉-数字研究方法尚未得到广泛应用。在我们关于乌干达小农户应对气候变化战略的研究中，我们比较了不同的数据收集方法，包括：采用手动笔记的半结构化访谈、参与式影响图以及经过调整的photovoice和cellphilm方法。

期刊介绍： Field Methods (formerly Cultural Anthropology Methods) is devoted to articles about the methods used by field wzorkers in the social and behavioral sciences and humanities for the collection, management, and analysis data about human thought and/or human behavior in the natural world. Articles should focus on innovations and issues in the methods used, rather than on the reporting of research or theoretical/epistemological questions about research. High-quality articles using qualitative and quantitative methods-- from scientific or interpretative traditions-- dealing with data collection and analysis in applied and scholarly research from writers in the social sciences, humanities, and related professions are all welcome in the pages of the journal.
