Fri frakt för medlemmar vid köp för minst 249 kr.Studying Children is the first book of its kind to offer a theoretical and practical discussion of how to undertake research using cultural-historical theory when researching the everyday lives of children.
The authors discuss the complexities of child development, providing a critique of alternative perspectives of research and notions of development. They provide a number of case studies following researchers in early childhood as they move from a developmental approach to a cultural-historical framework for observing and planning for young children.
The chapters:
- Provide a solid framework for understanding the foundations of this approach
- Address the importance of viewing research as an interactive technique
- Offer guidance on how to collect and interpret material
- Show how to make observations of and interviews with children, within a dialectical research approach
- Present examples of how to write and present findings using this technique
Studying Children is a valuable resource for academics, researchers and students working in the field of Early and Middle Childhood at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
