“…According to these authors, “Overt” means that we observed the school daily life, being openly and visibly observing; “Indirect” means that we collected photographs; “Nonparticipating” refers to minimizing interaction with participants; “Naturalistic” means that we conducted the observations in the natural environment; and “Systematic” means that researchers entered the field with an observation instrument and that this instrument guided them to perform the observations and take pictures. In this study, photographs function as empirical data collected by the researcher ( Poveda, 2018 ). After qualitative data condensation and categorization, health-related pedagogical actions and routines at preschool were analyzed by data mining procedures.…”

The school represents the optimal setting for promoting the physical, emotional, and social health of children, especially during the first years of life. Understanding the pedagogical actions of teachers to address health education is an important first step in promoting healthy behaviors in children. We inhere analyzed the pedagogical action patterns in the preschool teaching of healthy habits from a holistic health perspective. We used photography as a strategy for data collection and applied a Chi-square automatic interaction detection (CHAID) classification tree, a data mining procedure, to generate a pattern model. We found that the school space and the learning playfulness strategies for the development of executive functions, classified according to the exercise, symbolic, assembly, rules (ESAR) model, were the main factors that influence the pedagogical actions fostering healthy habits. By contrast, the school and the pedagogical resources of the classroom are factors with a much smaller impact on working with healthy habits. This pedagogical action pattern is flexible, since teachers conduct a multiplicity of pedagogical actions through different strategies, in different school spaces, at any time. In conclusion, our results unmask the interdependent relationships between the different factors that determine the teacher’s actions at the preschool. It also contributes to the understanding of the teacher’s practices in fostering healthy habits in a healthy learning environment.

“…Many qualitative researchers interested in childhood studies have opted for alternative novel ways to generate data and evidence to minimize these challenges and maximize the benefits. One of these alternatives and contemporary research methods is using visuals, especially photographs (Pain, 2012;Poveda et al, 2018;Hoque, 2021b). However, using visuals in child-centered research has its challenges too (Bissell et al, 2000).…”

Hazardous Child Labor in Bangladesh: A Critical Evaluation of the Legal and Policy Framework Vis a Vis Practical Challenges

Bangladesh is a signatory of the International Labor Organization's two landmark conventions on child labor -No.138 on Minimum Age and No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labor. The Bangladesh Labor Act, 2006 prohibits the employment of any child in child labor's worst forms, including hazardous ones. To eliminate hazardous child labor (HCL) from the country, the government published a list of 38 activities/processes as hazardous to children. However, emerging data suggest that HCL still exists widely in the country, and the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the situation. The review of existing evidence and relevant reports evinces that the country's current policies inadequately address the status and remedies of HCL. Based on the author's desk review, observational experience and visual work, this paper evaluates the competence of the hazardous labor list and current legal protections for children. The findings suggest that lack of implementation, reporting and monitoring opens the floodgate for employers to informally employ children in hazardous work and take advantage of the legal lacunae. Destitute families and street children lack citizenship documents and become easy victims of exploitative employment. The analysis informs that the country's existing legislative framework and protection policies are critically inadequate to cease HCL in urban areas.

“…Todos insisten en los aportes y las virtudes de la introducción de la imagen en la investigación. Esta permitiría profundizar en la dimensión simbólica de las preguntas planteadas, abrir un espacio de palabra para los sujetos menos locuaces y menos textuales, comunicarse a partir de un referente común (Poveda, Matsumoto, Morgade, & Alonso, 2018). La imagen ofrece así nuevas perspectivas frente a un mismo tema, brindando la posibilidad de indagar aspectos que no se habrían abordado de otra forma (Collier, 1957;Pink, 2001).…”

“…En esta investigación, privilegié una perspectiva postestructuralista, pues cuestionaba las formas en que se producen las categorías de incluidos y excluidos, tanto en la vida cotidiana como en la investigación. Desde esta perspectiva, se descentra al sujeto (Popkewitz & Brennan, 1997) y por tanto se asume la postura de la investigadora como una sujeta situada en un espacio atravesado por relaciones de poder. Los procesos de inclusión/exclusión social se despliegan de manera continua en el campo social, en las interrelaciones entre los sujetos, produciendo identidades y alteridades desiguales (Armijo Cabrera, 2018).…”

Este artículo analiza los dilemas epistemológicos que plantea el despliegue de un enfoque etnográfico, desde una perspectiva postestructuralista, en la investigación con niñas/os. Se realiza un análisis bibliográfico sobre etnografía escolar y sobre etnografía visual a partir de 70 publicaciones académicas (1957-2020). Los hallazgos de la investigación destacan: una genealogía de las etnografías escolares (1) y una tipología de las etnografías visuales (2). Estos elementos se articulan en torno a un análisis epistemológico sobre las relaciones entre quien investiga y quien es sujeto u objeto de conocimiento.
