Abstract

This accessible book presents approaches to planning, carrying out, and analyzing research projects with children and youth from a social constructivist perspective. Rich, contextualized examples illustrate how to elicit and understand the lived experiences of diverse young people. Data-collection methods discussed in depth include drawing, photography, the Internet, games, interviewing, focus groups, journaling, and observation. Also covered are strategies for fostering the active contributions of children in the research process; navigating consent and ethical issues; enlisting the support of parents, school personnel, and other gatekeepers; and interpreting data. Throughout, the authors emphasize the need to attend to the social setting in which research with children is done. End-of-chapter questions and exercises encourage readers to reflect on taken-for-granted conceptions of children and childhood and to try out the book's ideas in their own research projects.

Abstract

The WHO Multicentre Growth Reference Study> (MGRS) was implemented between 1997 and 2003 to generate new curves for assessing the growth and development of children the world over. The MGRS collected primary growth data and related information from 8440 healthy breastfed infants and young children from diverse ethnic backgrounds and cultural settings (Brazil, Ghana, India, Norway, Oman and USA). A key component of the MGRS design was a longitudinal cohort of children who were examined in a sequence of 21 visits starting at birth and ending at 24 months of age. A principal rationale for the lon

Abstract

L’évolutionnisme a suscité entre 1870 et 1914 un nouveau regard sur l’enfant et a permis de construire à la fois une « psychologie de l’enfant » et une pédagogie autour d’une « science de l’enfant ». Au-delà d’une étude transversale passionnante, on redécouvre des pères fondateurs (Taine, Claparède ou Piaget et Pérez) la psychologie américaine (James, Dewey), ainsi que les tenants de l’école laïque, dont Ferdinand Buisson. Cette filiation oubliée permet de comprendre la signification de l’idée contemporaine de « mettre l’enfant au centre des apprentissages », comme le recommande la loi d’orientation de 1989.
