'This is a much needed, important and thorough book on doing research with (rather than to) children. Such research requires very careful consideration, thinking and planning - all of which will be helped directly by this book.
'The authors are well qualified to set out the political and ethical issues regarding research with children and young people, arguing that it is a process done 'with' and not done 'to' them. This book is value for money, being useful for educational research up to Level 7 (Master’s Degree) across all educational sectors, early years to Further and Higher Education'
Very useful for our Children and Young People dissertation students who are conducting primary research.
This is an easy to read text for anyone wanting to understand the basic principles of the research process and how this applies to children. There are plenty of contextual examples that are described in stages to aid understanding and support learning. I highly recommend this research text the student and qualified children’s nurses.
the section on the ethics of doing research with children and young people is exhaustive but not pedantic, and I believe it can be use within undergraduate research projects
Doing research with children as active participants and not just doing research about children is one of the great challenges of our time. This book addresses the main theories, research ethics and different techniques in an excellent way. It will especially be very helpful for researchers who want to conduct research with children for the first time. It gives a clear picture of designing such research, illustrated with good practical examples.
Useful book for undergraduate early years students
This is a good resource with a comprehensive introduction and step by step guide for those thinking about about conducting research with children.
The author has included a range of examples and templates to assist new researchers.
I have recommended this book to level 5 Early Years students who are embarking on research for the first time. It explains the different methods for qualitative and quantitative research, how to analyse data, explores ethics and why theory is important in an early years research project.
This is a superb textbook! What I really love about it is that it is grounded in an understanding of educational psychology theories and the role of philosophical assumptions in research (which few books and courses emphasise enough). Also great to have information about all the stages of designing a child-oriented research project, with concrete examples, as well as great advice on ethics and dissemination. A clear, accessible and highly-informative text authored by experienced practitioners with strong empathy for the children. Highly recommended!
Very useful for students to be aware of how to research with children in an inclusive and safe way.
an excellent text that makes very good use of illustrations, tables and summaries of learning, the lattter guide the student to reflect upon their own understanding and knowledge of the points raised. A text that I would recommend for all child health practitioners undertaking research with children and /or young people.
This book is written in an engaging way and provides the reader with different professional perspectives brought together. It also gives very practical help and clear examples. Anyone thinking of conducting research with children will find it valuable.
This is a well written book that examines the issues when researching with children.
This book is easy to access and is useful on the 'Researching Children' module and Independent study (dissertation). Well written with recent literature and new ideas embedded.
Whilst this is a useful book it doesn't serve the purpose of the module I was intending it for.
This is a very good text. Of particular interest is the focus on Participatory approaches in research. If you are stuck for ideas on how and why to carryout research with children then you should invest in this text.
Very good addition to the research books recommended. Focus on research with children welcome.
An essential guide for anyone considering doing research with children and young people. It is easy to overlook some important methodological and ethical issues when considering research with children and young people and this book provides very useful guide in how to overcome these pitfalls. I will be adding this text to my reading list for the undergraduate research module. I will also be recommending the book to Masters students whose dissertations focus on research with this group of potential participants.
This book is essential for anyone contemplating or engaged in research with children, covering every aspect of the research process in an accessible, readable and engaging yet appropriately challenging way. There is an important word in the book's title that sums up the prevailing ethos of the book: 'with'. This book really is for 'doing research with children'.
