Kokkuvõte	Pilot-tested field notes combine the classical ethnographic practice of systematic observational recording with a deliberate pre-validation phase. Before the main data collection begins, the researcher conducts one or more trial observation sessions to test and refine the note-taking protocol — assessing categories, focus areas, and recording conventions — so that the main fieldwork captures relevant data consistently and completely.	Field notes are detailed written records created by researchers during or immediately after direct observation in a naturalistic setting. They capture what is seen, heard, and experienced — including behaviors, interactions, physical environments, and the researcher's own analytic impressions — forming the primary data source for ethnographic and observational studies.
