Task 1


Cross Disciplinary
Cross-Disciplinary refers to knowledge that explains aspects of one discipline in terms of another, common examples of cross-disciplinary approaches are studies of the physics of music or the politics of literature.


Intedisciplinary
Interdisciplinary refers to new knowledge extensions that exist between or beyond existing academic disciplines or professions. The new knowledge maybe claimed by members of non, one, both, or an emerging new academic discipline or profession.



Trans Disciplinary
In practice, trans disciplinary can be taught of as the union of all interdisciplinary efforts. While interdisciplinary terms may be creating new knowledge that lies between several existing disciplines, a trans disciplinary term is more holistic and seeks to relate all disciplines into a coherent whole.


Qualitative Research 
Qualitative Research is a method of inquiry employed in many different academic disciplines, traditionally in the social sciences, but also in market research and further contexts. Qualitative research aim to gather an in-depth understanding of human behaviour and the reasons that govern such behaviour.  The qualitative method investigates the why and how decision making, not just what, when, where. Hence, smaller but focused samples are more often needed than large samples.


Ethnography 
Ethnography is a qualitative research design aimed at exploring cultural phenomena. The resulting field study case or a case report reflects the knowledge and the system of meanings in the lives of a cultural group.
Ethnography, as the empirical data on human societies and cultures, was pioneered in the biological, social, and cultural branches of anthropology but has also become a popular in the social sciences in general – sociology, communication studies, history – wherever people study ethnic groups, formations, compositions, resettlements, social welfare characteristics, materiality, spirituality, and a provides a forum for peoples ethnogenesis.
