สรุป	Visual elicitation digital ethnography is a qualitative research design that embeds visual elicitation techniques — using photographs, videos, or digital images as interview stimuli — within digital ethnographic fieldwork conducted in online or digitally mediated environments. Participants produce or select visual materials from their digital lives, which are then used to elicit in-depth talk about meanings, identities, and practices that verbal questioning alone often fails to surface.	Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a qualitative, community-centred methodology in which researchers and community members collaborate as co-investigators to identify a shared problem, take deliberate action, observe outcomes, and reflect critically on results — cycling iteratively until meaningful change is achieved. Unlike conventional research that studies people from the outside, PAR treats participants as active agents who co-own the research process, the knowledge produced, and the practical interventions that follow.
