About this book

Comprehensive exploration of the intricacies and ethical dimensions involved in conducting research with children

Understanding Children's Perspectives in Social Research explores how to conduct ethical and meaningful research involving children, covering research methodologies, practical strategies, and more. The book delves into the historical evolution of children's participation in research and elucidates the ethical foundations rooted in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and theoretical frameworks such as social constructivism and children's agency, shedding light on the significance of developmental psychology in shaping research methodologies tailored to different age groups.

The book also offers insights into designing child-centric research studies that empower children as active contributors, addressing challenges and emphasizing the importance of informed consent, assent, confidentiality, and creating safe, child-friendly research environments.

Furthermore, the book underscores the significance of diverse data collection methods that capture children's voices authentically. It explores child-focused interviews, focus groups that encourage peer interaction, and innovative techniques such as visual methods and digital approaches. The book culminates in discussing the implications of children's perspectives for policy, practice, and societal change.

Understanding Children's Perspectives in Social Research includes discussion on:

Fostering engagement and insights through play and games, amplifying voices through storytelling, and exploring emotions in reflective play
Embracing technological advancements and envisioning an inclusive future that acknowledges the impact of children's perspectives on various spheres of society

Covering ethical considerations, research methodologies, practical strategies, and much more, Understanding Children's Perspectives in Social Research serves as a highly valuable guide for researchers, educators, policymakers, and advocates committed to engaging with children's voices in a respectful, ethical, and meaningful manner.
