Intro: Field notes are taken during an observational event to record and remember
behaviors, activities, and events. They are also used to record and distinguish the
researcher’s experience and interpretation of those events.
Field notes general consist of 4 parts:
1. Some record-keeping notes (e.g., date, time, etc.)
2. Descriptive information: where you attempt to accurately record the “facts” of the
situation
3. The meaning/reflection of what you observed
4. Reflexive notes – How did this affect you? What personal moment did this bring up?
How did it alter or inform you?

Program  Transcript    
CHRISTINE  TOPPER:  My  name  is  Christine  Topper  and  I  am  doctorate  student  
in  educational  psychology  at  Walden  University.  Today  I  want  to  show  you  how  I  
grow  as  a  scholar  practitioner  and  use  what  I  learned  in  my  courses  to  impact  
social  change  in  my  local  community.    
I  am  international  school  teacher  in  Hong  Kong.  Hong  Kong  is  a  compact  and  
vertical  city.  As  such  our  student  body  does  not  have  much  exposure  outside  of  
home  and  has  developed  a  disconnection  from  the  natural  world.  High  rise  
buildings  are  taking  over  the  natural  green  spaces  where  children  usually  play  
and  media  technology  is  keeping  people  indoors  and  changing  the  lifestyle  of  
society  from  active  to  sedentary.    
Richard  Louv  coined  a  term,  nature  deficit  disorder,  to  explain  this  phenomena  in  
his  book  Last  Child  in  the  Woods.  Nature  deficit  disorder  is  a  real  social  problem  
in  a  big  city  like  Hong  Kong.  I  decided  to  conduct  an  independent  research  study  
looking  to  ways  to  address  nature  deficit  disorder.    
Building  on  the  rooftop  greening  project  an  early  childhood  teacher  and  myself  
started  a  sustainable  micro-­garden  for  the  kindergarten  students  in  the  outdoor  
play  space.  The  students  were  in  charge  of  taking  care  of  the  garden,  from  
planting,  weeding,  to  harvesting  and  selling  the  produce  at  to  the  school  
community,  and  response  to  [INAUDIBLE]  garden.  We  started  with  a  herb  patch  
and  within  a  year  it  is  grown  into  a  vegetable  and  flower  garden.  With  help  from  
our  secondary  school  the  kindergarten  students  recently  started  a  vertical  plastic  
bottle  garden.    
We  witnessed  the  benefits  of  the  garden  immediately.  The  pocket  garden  
initiative  will  continue  in  my  school  this  year.  And  we  are  collaborating  with  local  
organizations  to  create  more  green  spaces  in  schools  around  Hong  Hong.  
Contact  and  exposure  to  nature  no  longer  happens  intuitively,  so  adults  need  to  
create  authentic  opportunities  for  children  to  reengage  with  nature  every  day.  We  
all  can  be  an  agent  of  change.  Changing  a  child’s life  can  be  as  simple  as  
starting  a  garden  at  home  or  in  the  classroom.
