Abstract: Qualitative methods have long been criticized for their time consuming process and narrow focus. The use of visual ethnography in research is as old as film itself. Critical Cine Ethnography combines of the visual element of cine Visual ethnography and the rigorous research requirements of Critical Ethnography to produce a new method for educational research. In this paper we propose using a new technological advancement from a commercially available product to reduce the time necessary to move from transcription to analysis in the context of improving teaching by allowing administrators and experts to review a body of an instructor’s work rather than simple snapshots provided by walkthroughs and the yearly “dog and pony show” currently required of teachers.
