Kopsavilkums	Remote Participant Observation is a qualitative data collection method in which the researcher joins and participates in an online or digitally mediated social setting — such as a video-based community, online forum, virtual world, or remote work environment — to observe and record social interactions, practices, and meanings as they occur naturally, without requiring physical co-presence.	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.
