- Summary:
- Research with children is an invaluable way to tell their story in their own words. Research documenting ideas about children from parent and teacher perspectives is valuable, but in itself, does not tell the story from the child's point of view. Thus, the purpose of this book is to develop a book for those interested in conducting research with children, to document their voices and perceptions. Each chapter in this book is intended to provide a summary of ideas that will help the reader in thinking about research for children, from their perspective and telling their story. The author spent time during graduate school wondering why so much information about children was presented from the adult perspective. This observation has lead to a research track for this author, wherein she has tried to focus the "knowledge camera" if you will on children's perspectives of their development and their world. This is the foundational idea for the development of this book.
