“…In the second phase, these meanings were considered through an abductive approach. An abductive approach is described as an attempt "to compare alongside…to show side by side" (Kovách & Spens, 2005) and can be viewed through intuition or as a kind of a systematized creativity to create "new" knowledge in research process (Andreewsky & Bourcier, 2000) through several cycles of interaction between researchers, theory and data using the benefits from both inductive and deductive approach (Kovách & Spens, 2005). In an inductive approach, data about the researched phenomenon guide the analysis process, while in a deductive approach, the analysis is theoretically derived (Hyde, 2000), whereas in abductive analysis, the key element is the interaction between the theory and the data to acquire new knowledge about the phenomenon.…”

This qualitative research synthesis aims to describe and identify ethical opportunities and challenges in interviewing young children in early childhood education and to explore interviewing as a means to bring forward children's experiences of participation and inclusion. These objectives have been studied through two different research cases in the Finnish early childhood education and care settings with active learning approach. The identified opportunities were supporting to show emotions, respecting diversity and special needs, enhancing the competence and agency of children, stimulating humor, playfulness and imagination, and generating meaningful encounters and feelings of empowerment. The challenges were building trust, identifying experiences from imaginary stories, listening attentively, responding to difficult life situations of children, and addressing power distribution. The paper highlights the possibilities for promoting children's inclusion and participation through ethically considered interviewing and seeing research process as a chance to give them experiences about competence, involvement and becoming listened to by adults.Keywords: early childhood education, ethics, qualitative methodology, social learning Corresponding author, 1) anna-leena.lastikka@helsinki.fiLastikka Anna-Leena & Kangas Jonna 86Research on small children's lives has involved a lack of equality between adult and child participants. It is common to study children exclusively through adults' perceptions, treat children as objects of research, and exclude them from the research process (Christensen & James, 2008). Einarsdóttir (2007) argues that earlier research on children was carried out through assessing and observing children's competencies and development. James and James (2012) suggest that if children are not included in the research focusing on their everyday life, it will result in an obfuscation of the relationship between adult and child.Moreover, this approach will make it more challenging to ascertain the diversity and multivoiced aspects of childhood, as well as individual perceptions and experiences that help children build their understanding of their environment and interactions.Recently, it has become evident that the present research methodology of early childhood education cannot dismiss the interaction and relationships between researchers and children.The focus has shifted from regarding children as objects (Christensen & James, 2008) progress in developing suitable research methods (Crivello, Camfield & Woodhead, 2009;Fattore et al., 2012;Karlsson, 2012), there is still a need for research to explore and develop substantive research ethics, methodologies, and methods towards democracy and participation (Mockler & Groundwater-Smith, 2015). Clark (2011) 87dominated by reflections on informed consent and protection of participants. Therefore, there is an obvious need in research to explore and discuss ethical issues more deeply throughout the research processes. Moreover, the interview method has...

“…Regarding to argumentation in deductive approach, direction is from a general law to a specific case and then to the result (Andreewsky and Bourcier, 2000, Danermark et al, 2001, Taylor et al, 2002 This research approach is a theory analyzing process to evaluate the existing theories has been developed before. Deductive approach begins with generalization to find out if the theory employ to particular cases.…”

“…Deductive approach begins with generalization to find out if the theory employ to particular cases. Deductive approach browses the literatures strongly, derives some hypotheses and propositions, empirically assess them and finally conclude it according to the result Spens, 2005, Arlbjørn andHalldorsson, 2002) On the other hand, inductive direction is from a certain empirical case or observations collections to a general law and then to the result (Andreewsky and Bourcier, 2000, Danermark et al, 2001, Taylor et al, 2002 This approach is a theory development process, which commences with empirical observation or facts on the particular cases to generalize a phenomenon. Hence, it is suitable to develop a new theory (Arlbjørn and Halldorsson, 2002).…”

“…As a consequence, qualitative research is not inductive per definition. In inductive approach, early literature review is not necessary however; hypotheses are derives from the observation, which later lead to theories (Flint and Mentzer, 2000, Andreewsky and Bourcier, 2000, Kovács and Spens, 2005, Glaser and Strauss, 1967. According to this research approach, empirical study in the earlier stage leads to develop propositions.…”

Manufacturing Industry as an important part of European and Swedish economy faces new challenges with the daily growing global competition. An enabler of overcoming these challenges is a rapid transforming to a value-based focus. Investment in innovation tools for production system development is a crucial part of that focus which helps the companies to rapidly adapt their production systems to new changes. Those changes can be categorized to incremental and radical ones. In this research we studied the Obeya concept as a supporting tool for production system development with both of those approaches. It came from Toyota production system and is a big meeting space which facilitates communication and data visualization for a project team. Four lean companies have been studied to find the role of such spaces in production development. Results indicate a great opportunity for improving those spaces and their application to radical changes in production development projects
