'[T]here is a sense of newness and innovation about the book, whereby the reader is treated to insight into the life and work of collaborators who wrote each case study....[T]he book is highly accessible for students at graduate and undergraduate level, for example BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies students' - ESCalate
Researching with Children and Young People covers every stage of the process of doing a research project, from research design and data collection, through to analysis and writing up.
The book is divided into three sections, in which the authors cover:
- Introducing research and consultation with children and young people
- Collecting and analysing data
- Whole-project issues.
Each chapter includes activities, discussion questions, tips and extended case studies to help the reader to engage with the material and investigate the practical implications.
This text will be of great use to postgraduate researchers in education, social work and nursing, and any practitioner involved in carrying out research with children and young people.
This book covered all aspects of researching with children in an easy laid out format. The pros and cons of each type of process allowed the reader to get a full understanding of the different methods. The case studies showed how the theory was put into practice.
This will be a very helpful guide through a delicate area.
I felt that this text, a long with the text editted by Robb, was well contructed and met a great deal of the needs of my students studying on this module as it addressed relevant issues in relation to today's young people as well as informing those who work within that field. Because of this this is one of two books that I am recommending as essential reading for my students.
