“…While there remains some debate about how best to authenticate and meaningfully incorporate children's voices into the research process (see Zhang, 2015), there is broad support for a number of research methods that allow researchers to 'listen' to children (Clark, 2001;Dockett, Einarsdottir, & Perry, 2011;Lipponen, Rajala, Hilppo¨, & Paananen, 2015). These include the Mosaic Approach (Clark, 2001), the Jigsaw Approach (Stephenson, 2012a), the Children's Voices Framework (Harris & Manatakis, 2013), and visual and video observatory methods (Clark, 2011;Pa´lmado´ttir & Einarsdo´ttir, 2015), which suggest future ways to capture children's understandings and experiences of their health and wellbeing, and challenge the nature of current knowledge.…”

Young Children's Health and Wellbeing Across the Transition to School: A Critical Interpretive Synthesis

et al. 2016

This paper reports on the systematic search and review of the literature relating to the health and wellbeing of young children across the transition to school. It identified 56 papers (including empirical studies, reviews, commentaries, and reports) relevant to the research questions and completed an interpretive systematic review to ascertain the current state of the literature. The review employed the Critical Interpretive Synthesis (CIS) method to allow for a rigorous and systematic review of a disparate literature which stretches across several disciplines. The findings are presented in seven thematic categories: current conceptualisations of health and wellbeing, assessment and measurement, 'school readiness', service integration, transition actors, 'at risk' children, and child voice. These findings illustrate the ways in which concepts have been constructed, identified, and operationalised in early years research, practice, and policy. Moreover, it highlights that 'what is known' can be used to inform the review or implementation of services, practices, and partnerships that support child health and wellbeing during the transition to school.

“…For example Hackett (2016), in her year-long ethnographic study exploring very young children's (aged between 24 and 36 months) multi-modal meaning making within a museum, used a handheld video camera in an unstructured way to record anything of interest that occurred during the children's visits. Pálmadóttir and Einarsdóttir's (2016) study investigating young children's lived experiences during free-play time in an Icelandic preschool used a handheld video camera to record small groups of children. As these studies show, this third-person perspective can be effective in offering insights into young children's bodily expressions, language, movement, interaction with others and the ability of an individual to participate in another's lifeworld (Hackett, 2016, Merleau-Ponty, 1962, Pálmadóttir and Einarsdóttir, 2016.…”

It is important to appreciate that the video footage captured in these studies represents, owing to the video camera being an extension of the body of the person carrying it, not only a view of what is in front of the camera but also the relations the person behind the camera has with the world (Johansson andLøkken, 2014, Pink, 2009).…”

This paper discusses insights derived from a small-scale ethnographic study designed to explore young children's (aged three to six) everyday, lived experiences within a participatory family museum in southern England. Inspired by the childcentred work of Kirk (2014) this paper begins by examining the effectiveness of photo-elicitation interviews in accessing 'snap-shots' of children's perspectives of their museum visits. In the current study this method is complemented by the use of chest-mounted GoPro cameras to provide a first person and more holistic perspective of children's museum visits. 12 children's visits were filmed in total. During three of these, children were also carrying child-friendly digital cameras. As this was part of a larger study the data collection was designed to compare the utility of GoPro technology being used in tandem with both photo and drawingelicitation. In response to these initial findings a photo-map of the museum was created to prompt discussion with the final six participants. Recruitment was purposive and there was no contact with the participants prior to them arriving at the museum. The video captured by the chest-mounted Go-Pro cameras is particularly illuminating when analyzed in the context of the post-visit interview data. Although the photo-elicitation and drawing-elicitation interviews do reveal some important details about the children's experiences and perspectives, the video footage highlights the difficulties with relying on these methods in an everyday museum setting. For example parental involvement in the children's photography is far more pervasive than might be expected, and the degree to which the camera affects the nature of the children's visits is notable. The video also reveals how easy it is to misinterpret children when relying solely on their recollections in an interview situation. This paper finishes with a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of using Go-Pro technology as a complementary tool in the exploration of young children's museum experiences.

“…The interview is perceived as a moment of social interaction, bringing up representative criteria, and, thereby, showing both objective (e.g., concrete facts and objectives), and subjective nature (e.g., attitude, values, and beliefs) of the discursive data (Minayo, 1996). Children's observations were carried out through video recordings, which have been used as a pertinent and adequate tool on many studies with children (Carvalho, Branco, Pedrosa & Gil, 2002;Pálmadóttir & Einarsdóttir 2016;Pedrosa & Carvalho, 2005;Rossmanith et al 2014;). The videos allow us to analyze nonverbal communication and subjective experiences of the children, which are both considered to be important to human development (cf.…”
