Answer:
Pilot study
Explanation:
A pilot study is a preliminary study (prior to the actual study) done in a smaller scale to determine if the main components of the actual study (duration, cost, adverse events) will be feasible.
A pilot study is crucial to determine whether the study is doable and the areas that can be improved before the actual full-scale study takes place.
In this example, Clara conducted a trial run with a <u>small number of participants</u> to see if the instructions are clear and the experimental setting is plausible. Clara did this <u>before the actual study</u> and she did this trial run in a smaller scale, <u>her goal was to determine if the experimental setting was plausible and areas of improvement</u> (like the instructions), thus, this meets the requirements of a pilot study.
I believe the Project Mercury was the first program that first sent two people into Orbit.
It was the Soviet Union that put the two people to explore the Orbit.
Answer:
First-hand ethnographic fieldwork
Explanation:
Ethnography is the detailed account of a society and its culture by observing the social interactions that people have. This gives us an accurate description of a society and its culture as it not influenced by outside factors.
Here, Maria is studying the the lives of women in coffee farming communities in Brazil. She is observing them directly and making sure her presence does not influence their interactions. She is also doing this herself which means her research will not be affected by someone else's perspective.
Hence, she is using the strategy of first-hand ethnographic fieldwork.
