Abstract

This article is the result of the researches done with the first year students during their first field exercises. Their task was ‚inter alia’ – writing a field journal, which has become the record of the experience of young anthropologists. In this paper our aim is to analyze and interpret the entries created by students, looking at them from the teaching and anthropological perspective. We are looking at the role of the journal not only as a technique or method of obtaining data for the production of anthropological knowledge but also as a learning tool, producing and developing in young adepts of anthropology necessary skills. What is more journals give us an opportunity to provide a contribution to the discussion with the participants of exercises about the specific field experience which is an important part of anthropological research procedure.
