Sintesi	A pilot-tested experiment log is a structured research instrument — a systematic journal of experimental procedures, observations, and results — that has been trialed with a small representative sample before full deployment. The pilot phase identifies ambiguous recording fields, impractical time demands, or inconsistent terminology, enabling targeted revisions that improve the log's reliability and completeness before the main data-collection phase begins.	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.
