The article presents the results of research carried out in the 2016/2017 school year in selected primary schools in an urban environment (Łódź). The aim of the study was to diagnose the ways of understanding the abstract concept of the horizon, in groups of 8- to 9-year-olds and 9- to 10-year-old children. The research was carried out in a venue that provided a natural learning environment (in two second grade classes and two third grade classes). The research adopted the strategy of didactic intervention. The researcher acted as an observer and a participant, and the research material came from participatory observation. The observation covered both the activities of pupils as well as the effects of these activities. The research material obtained in the course of conversations with children and their artistic activity was analyzed. The research results reconstructed the children’s process of understanding the concept of the horizon and revealed possibilities of enriching educational discourse.

Researchers from humanities and social sciences academic disciplines often explicitly acknowledge diversity of methods and types of data used during a given research process. However, when anthropologists, historians or sociologists talk about archival work, participant observation or analysis of cultural texts, do they really talk about the same research methods? Despite prominence of a discourse of multi-, inter or trans-disciplinarity, academic training is still conducted largely within disciplinary boundaries, with particular attention given to development of one or two principal research methods that require acquisition of specific research skills and sensitivities. In a case of anthropology, field research with participant observation is the principal research method; while for history the same can be said about work with archival documents. Moreover, those principal research methods shape researcher’s attitudes towards other types of sources and methods. On the basis of an analysis of two cases (from Altai and Transcarpathia), concerning a significance of encountering written documents in the field, the author shows how reliance on a particular research method can raise concerns and doubts with regard to other type of sources and research procedures.

The text presents an approach which bases on participant observation, but is significantly more intensive and considerably interferes in peoples’ everyday life. The observer becomes a “shadow” of the observed people and accompanies them in everyday activities. This technique was crucial for the research made by the author and concerning students’ lifestyles, commissioned by Sustainable Lifestyle Research Center, carried out by the group of students from the University of Łódź. The text describes goals and results of the project and aims to show briefly the problems and chances of using shadowing tools in anthropological work.
