This writing is aimed to consider the concept and five sections of research on critical ethnography, which is recently coming to the fore as a new qualitative method of study, and discuss its methodological processes. Compared to other traditions of qualitative research, methodological investigation on critical ethnography has not been dealt with deeply in our country, posing a greater significance in terms of theorizing qualitative research. Accordingly, first, this thesis will look into what are the major areas of research for critical ethnography. Second, it will introduce methodological processes in using critical ethnography for research on school and organization. For this purpose, we will consider the approach of Carspecken(1996) who theorized the process in this field. The research methodology is designed for people to understand the study of social inequalities in our society that are being marginalized such as: class, race, gender, sexual orientation, and disabilities. As a result, the process is to explore and analyze class, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability was conceptualized in five categories. Second, the study helps us to understand and execute the procedure of critical ethnography. Carspecken presents five-steps: first step, to create the initial record. Second step, preliminary reconstruction analysis. Third step, to create interactive material. Fourth and fifth steps are to develop a holistic relationship between theory and analytical formats. Suggestions for future research are as follows: First, social inequalities but to continue further exploration, more practical research is needed. Second, social inequalities are consistent due to the ideology of institutionalized social issue. To improve the study of various of research methodologies follow-up studies will make.
