الملخص	The face-to-face diary method is a data collection technique in which participants are recruited, briefed, and supported through in-person researcher contact while keeping structured or open-ended diaries over a defined period. By combining the temporal depth of diary records with the rapport and clarity of direct researcher interaction, it reduces ambiguity in diary instructions, improves compliance, and allows the researcher to probe or clarify entries at handover or follow-up meetings.	Participant observation is a qualitative research method in which the researcher embeds themselves within a community, organization, or social setting for an extended period, engaging in the activities and relationships of the group while systematically observing and documenting behavior, interactions, and cultural meaning. Pioneered by Malinowski in the 1920s and developed in anthropology, the method has been adopted across sociology, education, health sciences, and organizational research. The researcher functions as both insider (participating in group activities) and outsider (maintaining analytical distance), generating thick description—rich accounts of context, behavior, and meaning that reveal how people actually live and interact.
