Introduction to Ethnographic Educational Research

Overview of the Research Context

• Jonathan Roquem González introduces himself and his colleague Emilie Morillo, presenting their ethnographic educational research conducted in Frasquillo, Colón Alto, Tierralta Córdoba.

• The research focuses on a multi-grade classroom with an ethnically diverse student body, consisting of 18 students aged between 4 and 14 years.

Methodology: Multivariable Matrix

• A multivariable matrix was created to gather comprehensive data about the student population, including names, ages, nationality, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and grade level.

Analysis of Student Demographics

Age Distribution

• The age distribution reveals that there are five students aged 4 and eleven years old each (27% of the population), six students aged 6 (16%), and one student each at ages 8, 9, 10, and 14 (5% each).

Gender Representation

• Gender analysis shows that there are two male students and six female students; thus males represent approximately 67% while females account for about 33%.

Ethnic Composition

• The ethnic breakdown indicates that six students identify as indigenous (33%) while two are non-indigenous (67%).

Grade Level Distribution

• Students are distributed across various grades: one in Pre-Kindergarten, three in Kindergarten, four in first grade, two in third grade, four in fourth grade, and four in fifth grade.

Conclusion: Diversity Implications on Education

• The findings highlight significant diversity within the classroom regarding age groups, gender ratios, ethnic backgrounds, and academic levels. This heterogeneity is crucial as it influences educational dynamics and raises pertinent questions for further investigation.
