Common use of Fieldwork Clause in Contracts

Fieldwork. For MYWEB’s WP4, CRRC-Georgia conducted four focus groups and twenty interviews with children and young people between November 12 and 20, 2014. For the fieldwork, CRRC-Georgia selected two contrasting schools in Tbilisi: a public school (#82), which is located in the suburbs of Tbilisi and a private Waldorf Free School, located in the centre of the city. In order to organize focus groups and interviews at the schools, the CRRC-Georgia team met with the school principals, teachers and children one week before fieldwork to introduce them to the project, its goals and objectives. Public School #82 (PS82) is located about 1.5 hours from the city centre by public transport, and generally is quite well organized. The school building was recently renovated and is quite large. It has a large yard. The principal of the school and teachers were friendly, enthusiastic and ready to help with organizational issues. They assisted CRRC-Georgia in obtaining parent permission and provided all documentation in time for fieldwork. In addition, they prepared warm and comfortable rooms for the focus group and interviews. In PS82, the focus group participants and interview respondents were aged 10-12. In total, CRRC-Georgia conducted one focus group with nine participants and five interviews in PS82. The Waldorf Free School is a private school located in a central district of Tbilisi, about 15-20 minutes from the city centre by public transport. It is easily accessible. The Waldorf Free School building is relatively small and has not been renovated recently. Teachers were also friendly and helpful, but less organized than in PS82. They experienced difficulties in attempting to provide the CRRC-Georgia team with rooms to conduct interviews, and the interview process was interrupted several times as the interviewer had to change rooms. Parent permissions were obtained in time for fieldwork activities. In the Waldorf Free School, the focus group participants and interview respondents were aged 15-16. In total, CRRC-Georgia conducted one focus group with five participants and five interviews in the Waldorf Free School. In both schools, focus groups and interviews were conducted after classes in order to avoid interrupting the teaching process. Apart from schools, the CRRC-Georgia team conducted one focus group and five interviews with young people actively engaged in extracurricular activities and one focus group and five interviews with young people not engaged in extracurricular activities. These focus groups (2 in total) and interviews (10 in total) were conducted at the CRRC-Georgia office, located in a central district of Tbilisi. The snowball method was used in selecting participants and respondents. CRRC-Georgia staff members1 conducted focus groups and interviews. All of the interviewers and moderators have worked with CRRC-Georgia for a minimum of three years and have experience working on similar projects. Prior to fieldwork, they worked together to review documents and guidelines provided by MYWEB, participate in the translation process, and make final logistical preparations. Information on focus groups and interviews are provided in the tables below. All focus group and interview participants received incentives. Table 1.
