Portuguese term or phrase: pesquisa qualitativa participante
" Para dar conta desta tarefa, realizamos uma *pesquisa qualitativa* caracterizada pela modalidade *participante*, bem como pelo estudo hermenêutico de textos, em torno da pauta deste trabalho."

"Pesquisa participante Este tipo de pesquisa caracteriza-se pelo envolvimento e identificação do pesquisador com as pessoas investigadas. A pesquisa participante foi criada por Bronislaw Malinowski: para conhecer os nativos das ilhas Trobriand, ele foi se tornar um deles."

participant observation / participants environment
Explanation:
I think it is the correct definition within the context;
"Participant observation is a qualitative research method in which the researcher not only observes the research participants, but also actively engages in the activities of the research participants. This requires the researcher to become integrated into the participants' environment while also taking objective notes about what is going on. Most researchers who conduct participant observations take on the role that they are interested in studying. In Jill's case, she might enroll in an actual foreign language course, complete all assigned homework and classwork, and attend field trips just as any regular student enrolled in the class would. Jill would also have informal conversations with other students in the class and the teacher. Jill would keep a detailed record of all assignments and take detailed notes about what she observes and what happened during her encounters with her classmates and teachers. Jill would also keep notes about technology usage, classroom norms and expectations, and any other information that she finds useful."

qualitative research


Explanation:
The term "qualitative research" seems more appropriate for the context you've asked even though some researchers refer to it as "ethnography" within the context of Bronislaw Malinowski's methodology.

I would use "Qualitative Research"

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: Partly correct. This is one kind of qualitative research, which is a vast field. The main point is 'participant observation'. The asker's context specifically refers to Malinowski, who introduced the term 'participant observation' in anthropology.
