what are approaches
-
QUALITATIVE
ETHNOGRAPHIC
participant observation
immersing oneselve in the participant's lives to become part of the scenery, more accepted etc
-
negatives
-
-
in the past children were not seen as reliable sources of information (incomplete adults with less understanding and experience, however this started to change in the 0's and 80's
Does the sources use the children's own accounts? did it use ethnographic research, when was the research carried out and what were the opinions of children at this time?
-
-
ethics
-
age of the children, can they communicate, we we get effective data
-
-
-
gaps between adults and children - socially, feeling uncomfortable, untrusting etc
-
what are the legalities of taking part in the child's life. e.g. if the children are carrying out illegal activities
street children, how could you live amongst street children without being noticed or even reported
- 1 more item...
language spoken by the participants and the researcher, if different
younger children can be excluded from research due to their language ability, understanding etc
Alderson et al 2005. 2006 cited in Montgomery 2014 argues that children and babies whatever ages can communicate through their body language and expressions
the issues with this are that adults can interpret childs actions through their own 'lens'. child behaviour is open to interpretation and can not be proven to be one thing or the other
-
QUANTITATIVE
structured observation
how is the data recorded, notes, tallies, audio, video
audio recordings became increasingly common from the 1960's, and video from the 1980's with evolving technology and availability of it
-
what are the advantages
closer analysation, can play over and over, viewed by more than one person
