Answer 1

Field Research

Step-by-step explanation:

Field research is a qualitative method of collecting data. It aims to interact, observe and understand people in their natural environment. e.g Ornithologists observe the behaviour of the birds in their natural surroundings.

Similarly, social scientists also do field research by observing people and conducting interviews, they try to understand how people behave in their natural environment and their reason to various situations.

Field research is related to various social research methods that includes limited participation, direct observation, informal surveys and interviews, analysis of documents.

Since Tyson is going undercover to observe the world of students he is conducting field research.
