초록

Qualitative researchers use various methods to understand the perspectives of members of a culture. Many of these research methods have been designed by Western researchers and applied across cultures. In this context, this paper provides empirical evidence for critical discussion of culturally responsive research methods. We first present a brief description of the two ethnographic studies on Korean immigrant communities in a major city of the southeastern United States and then address how the research methods, participant observation and interviews, were complicated by particular cultural contexts. Based on our experiences with ethnographic studies of Korean immigrant communities, we address implications for qualitative researchers in early childhood studies.
