We are interesting in the learning that takes place, whether intendent or unanticipated, as s results of calculated intervention. It is our unique subject matter as education anthropologists, and, without a unique subject matters well as methodology, there is no discipline.” The importance of the statement describes the proper intervention of the ethnographical studies that can adapt the curriculum and with the multidisciplinary mediation the complexity of teaching-learning process will have the appropriate impact in the
